How handful of people ate the
cream of Indian Economic Growth! Ajim Premji, A Case Study: And Why You Are
Responsible For Your Own Financial Good and Bad In This Age:
If
you are reading this than you must be aware that stock market/capital market is
the barometer of the economy and it is the place where you trade the growth of
the economy. But how many out of the entire population eligible to invest
has invested in this growth of the country? Have you ever wondered that
there are only 3-4% population of the country that is invested into stock
markets right now (including mutual funds) and why so? The ratio of entire
country’s population invested into stock markets run somewhere between 20-50%
in China, USA and other such economy. The lower equity participation is also
one of the reasons why India, after 20 years of liberalization has not been
able to come on the fast track of sustained growth rate like China and other Asian
peers.
The
point we are discussing here is however distinct.
What we want to throw light is here that how
handful of promoters have ate the cream of privatization and benefited from the
liberalization of the economy.
We
will take only one example or case study
here. The IT sector is one of the major beneficiary of the liberalization
process. Wipro has been among the top 5 IT companies among Infosys, TCS, Patni,
Satyam, Tech Mahindra and a couple others.
