score 1.83
Executive Summary
India is a low ranking performer within its peer group of 'resource and efficiency-driven' economies, ranking 8th out of the 9 countries considered, with a score of 1.83 out of a possible 10. India’s performance may appear surprising at first glance given the perception of India as an emerging IT powerhouse. What the results show however, is just how small India’s islands of technological achievement remain. Crucially, the gap between India and its main competitor China appears to be substantial.
