Several economists and financial experts have projected that India’s economy is well on track and a major reason for the same is the rapid COVID vaccination drive and the consequent reduction in infections. India managed to gain momentum in the month of August and will look to continue to grow. He further said, "Global trends such as automation, shifting supply chains, demographic changes and a greater focus on sustainability and health are assuming a new significance in the wake of the pandemic. For India, these trends could catalyse growth and become the hallmarks of the post-pandemic economy.”
