Imagine a world where the center of economic power shifts to Asia, where bustling markets and innovative startups redefine the global landscape. That’s the promise of the Asian Century, a time when Asia could account for over half of the world’s economy, driven by a booming middle class and a youthful workforce eager to embrace technology. But how did we get here? Enter India’s Look East Policy, initiated in the early '90s. This wasn’t just a diplomatic gesture; it was a strategic move to forge ties with Southeast Asia, learning from the remarkable growth of the "Asian Tigers." By tapping into these vibrant markets, India aimed to boost trade and investment, enriching its economy while fostering regional cooperation. Yet, it’s not all smooth sailing. Challenges like inequality and climate change loom large.
