India’s GDP Growth and Its Effect on Placements Post-COVID-19

The current state of the Indian GDP. When you consider it with other advanced and world indicators, India is not in the worst stage yet. However, when you compare the Indian GDP in the year 2008 and 2020, a few things are clear:

1. The GDP growth rate in 2008 was 3.9. In 2020, it has reached an unprecedented low by going down to 1.9%.
2. The GDP drop in 2008 was steep. However, in the case of 2020, the GDP decline is gradual. 
3. Moody’s predictions for India pre-pandemic mapped GDP to grow between a 2.5-5% rate. But, COVID-19 has pushed this down to 1.9%.
4. Even though the Indian GDP growth rate was 3.9% in 2008, it skyrocketed to 8.5% within one year (2009).That is something that cannot be said about 2020.As per Moody's predictions , India’s growth rate should      rebound to 5.8% in2021. A 2.7% gap is estimated if one compares with 2008’s situation. 

 

What do these statistics and numbers tell us about the Indian economic condition in 2021? The economy will improve from what it is now, but not the way it did in 2009 and will have a direct effect on the placements of students.
