India is often looked at as a country that can provide good services for the foreign tech giants, however, rarely being associated with the term ‘Innovators’. This is also because India’s economy is largely dictated by service oriented companies.
Recent UN report on international migration trends states that over 16 million Indians have been living outside the country. This Independence Day, India’s First Converged Payments Solution Company, Razorpay, launches #STAYININDIA campaign, urging young professionals and students across India to stay back in the country, to carry forward the torch and to dedicate time to building a better place for themselves and for those to follow.
