By 2025, India would be on the verge of equitable growth and development. The future of India seems very robust and so is our commitment to take Rupiz Infotech to great heights. We are positive that India would become the crown jewel of the new world. Right now, a golden future is knocking at India’s doorway, she would most definitely be a powerful force to reckon with and Rupiz infotech is certain to tap the huge potential it would offer.

Some of the most promising industries in India are Power, Retail, Insurance, Rural education, and IT. Rupiz Infotech already has a strong establishment in the e- retail and IT sector among other online verticals, which it plans to grow manifold. With a “No dream too big” philosophy, Rupiz Infotech is also considering the avenues to enter these budding industries.

Power Sector: The power sector has registered significant progress in recent past. India would have a peak electricity demand of 1, 52,746 MW at power station bus bars of utility systems by 2011-12. The electricity consumption of the industrial sector is projected to rise by a compounded annual growth rate of 9.32% by the year 2011-12. Infact, the International Energy Outlook 2005 report projects that India’s gas consumption will grow at an average annual rate of 5.1%, thereby reaching 2.8 trillion cubic feet by 2025 with the share of electric power sector being of 71% by that time.

Looking at the potential this sector offers and considering the fact question that the power sector is buzzing with positive news and devlopments, we are optimistic to park our money in the sector- especially wind, biomass and solar power. According to a report published in Green Peace, “Two billion households worldwide could realistically be powered by solar energy by 2025, according to a joint report launched today by the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) and Greenpeace. Solar power has now become a serious contender in the electricity market.” There is no doubt that investing in renewal energy would distinctly confer enormous economic, social, and environmental benefits.

Retail: India will witness a paradigm shift from traditional forms of retailing into a modern organized sector. The organized retail sector will reach an astonishing figure of Rs 1,09,000 crore by 2010. The Indian retail market, which is the fifth largest retail destination globally, according to industry estimates, is estimated to grow from the US$ 427 billion by 2010 and $637 billion by 2015. MGI's analysis shows that as Indian incomes rise, the shape of the country's income pyramid will also change dramatically. Over 291 million people will move from desperate poverty to a more sustainable life, and India's middle class will swell by more than ten times from its current size of 50 million to 583 million people. By 2025 over 23 million Indians will number among the country's wealthiest citizens. A thorough study of this report reveals that retail is a profitable sector that must be exploited and we are all game for it!

Insurance: With a huge population and large untapped market, insurance happens to be a big opportunity in India. The total life insurance premiums market in India could grow from Rs 16, 8600 Crore (nearly US$ 42.85 Billion, Rs 1 = US$ 0.0254146) in 2006-07 to Rs 1,230,000 Crore (nearly US$ 312.6 Billion, Rs 1 = US$ 0.0254146) by 2010-11. Health insurance is poised to become the second largest business for non-life insurers in the next three years after motor insurance. Gradually, in the years to come, the focus will be on the teeming sector of micro insurance. It will gain a huge patronage from the rural customers. So this is another area we are looking to invest in.

Education in rural areas: India is spending a huge amount of money on rural education. Between 1999-2000 and 2004-05, the share of rural expenditure on tuition and other educational fees has risen from 29% to 44%. It’s likely to increase up by 2025. Thus, investing in educational pursuits is a lucrative option. Initially, there might be some bottlenecks but we are sure that profits will multiply in future. Our continued assurance will be to prepare all students, everywhere, with the skills required to thrive in the knowledge economy.

The Indian information technology and related services (IT/ITeS): This industry is predicted to become a $100 billion plus industry by 2011. Growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18 per cent, this is a promising area where business houses can invest. There is a possibility that this industry will be a $ 200 billion plus industry by 2025.

In other words, India will be a superpower by 2025. We are definite that we would our humble contributions will add strength to its might. Vivek Singh, Co-founder and Vice President of Rupiz Infotech says, “After all, a dream and a will is all it takes even to scale the highest mountains.”
