Since the advent of liberalization in India in 1991, much attention has been directed towards India's substantial economic growth rates, the pressures of globalisation on its labour market, and its potential role in the global economy in future. Though there have been studies on India's position in the global economy, relatively few studies have examined how engagement with global production networks is impacting upon companies and workers in India. This volume reveals that economic growth in India has created new opportunities for large and small firms, as well as new jobs for both highly-skilled workers and relatively low-skilled workers. However, the impact is uneven, even as opportunities for larger firms at the top of supply chains filter downwards.
