Financial Express, Posted online: Friday, February 10, 2006 at 0000 hours IST
NEW DELHI , FEB 9:Â A BBC World survey in association with AC Nielson on global indians reveals that <b>India will overtake China in terms of economy growth in the next 10 years.</b> While 57% respondents feel India will become the next Asian superpower in the next 10 years, 55% believe India can win a bid to host the Olympics during the same period and 60% believe that the poor in India will benefit from future economic growth.
The survey targeted a universe of eight million people and the results uncovered four global Indian sub-groups. <b>The most influential sub-group is the Globizen â individuals with both strong international attitudes and behaviours.</b>
The survey has made an attempt to put the global Indian under the lens to look at their media consumption, product and brand ownership, cultural uniqueness, international interests and what they believe are the biggest global issues. <b>The results showed that 35% of Globizens live in Mumbai, 20% in Hyderabad, 16% in New Delhi, 9 in Chennai and 8% each in Kolkata and Bangalore.</b>
Commenting on the new survey, BBC World head of research and planning Jeremy Nye said, " India is today the world's most vibrant debating chamber. It has the most exciting and open news media, with a growing passion for international news. We believe that these unique characteristics make Global Indians of value not only to those in India, who are living through the change, but also to international decision-makers looking to understand it."
Globizens acknowledge that economic progress is their key goal for India to develop into a superpower, and rank education, population control and information technology as the most important contributing factors.
Interestingly, the Globizens also believe that India's hard-working people are its most important assets, followed by natural resources and a vast base of intelligent people.
