In a recent post on X.com, formerly Twitter, Sridhar Vembu, the tech tycoon, voiced his agreement with legendary investor Ray Dalio’s prediction that India is poised to be the globe’s fastest-growing economy in the upcoming decade.

What Happened? Dalio, the mastermind behind Bridgewater Associates – the world’s largest hedge fund, is bullish on India, forecasting a robust 10-year economic growth rate of 7%. He believes India possesses the perfect blend of potential and leadership to fuel this ascent.

Vembu, echoing Dalio’s sentiments, emphasized the need for India to tread carefully, particularly in sidestepping real estate bubbles, a pitfall that ensnared economies like Japan and China.

Dalio’s Déjà vu moment: Dalio’s optimistic outlook on India isn’t just based on numbers. He took to social media on Thursday to highlight India’s recent lunar triumph with ‘Chandrayaan-3’, marking a historic landing on the moon’s south pole, as a testament to the nation’s rising prowess.

Drawing parallels, Dalio reminisced about his 1984 visit to China, noting the transformative reforms initiated by Deng Xiaoping. He sees India on a similar trajectory, potentially replicating China’s meteoric rise post-reforms. “Congratulations India!” Dalio exclaimed, signaling his confidence in the nation’s promising future.
