India has made quite a turnaround, climbing the ladder of economic growth. This can be gauged from the progress in terms of size of economy.

India has surpassed many countries in terms of economic size over the past decade and now needs to continue making progress in terms of per capita income.
In 2013, India was placed in the league of 'Fragile 5' economies. The term 'Fragile 5' was coined by a Morgan Stanley analyst and referred to then to a set of five emerging countries, including India, whose economies were not doing well. The other four countries were Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, and Turkey. Today, India is one of the fastest-growing major economies.
