List of top 20 countries in the world
India is ranked 22nd in this list, while its neighbor China is on the 17th position.
“India has a fast-growing, diverse economy with a large, skilled workforce. But because of its population, it’s also one of the poorest countries in the world based on income and gross national product per capita.
“Although agriculture employs the most workers, services are the major source of economic growth. Due to its educated, English-speaking workforce, India has become an important center of information technology services, business outsourcing services and software workers,” it noted.
