India has control over its inflation rate. A falling inflation rate combined with a relatively high growth rate is the type of environment that external investors and entrepreneurs should delight. Due to control over inflation rate investment by NAZCA will give them a chance to earn a handsome less inflated return.
People living standard is raising so people are spending more on their health and beauty products to look pretty and younger and also have trend to use foreigner products of cosmetics. Therefore, it could be a good step for Nazca to introduce itself in this scenario.
Supporting foreign investment in India. Lawmakers have started to show symbols of life: Parliament approved the contentious Banking Amendment laws, which permits corporations to build banks, creating capital further eagerly available. The government has occupied productive action by letting foreign companies to take possession stakes in definite Indian retailers. Due to aforementioned regulation, Indian banking also promoted investment and providing funds to foreigner’s investors too. So, it will be easy for Nazca to get loan and raise their capital to invest in India.
India has stable political environment that is also good sign for Nazca to come to India for broaden its market.
Most emerging economy in the world especially in Asia as compared to Chile so good for Nazca to come to India rather than Chile.
Highly dynamic and emerging Bollywood industry where trends are high for cosmetics rather than in Chile. So, for Nazca cosmetics India could be a larger customer’s market rather than Chie due to India’s high film making trend and cosmetics usage.
Most of the generation is between 25 to 30 years of age and can become prospect customer for Nazca.
India’s GDP buyer spending stands at 57%, paralleled to 72% for the United States. That proposes that there is about $1.2 trillion substance of opportunity in India’s emerging consumer sector so a positive sign for higher sale volume for Nazca in India.
This year may be seen the first steps on the road to that trend. If Nazca is entering India this year, it could be getting in on the ground floor.
