I mapped India’s development as a set of inter‑linked capabilities, noting that early frontier successes in software services, space, pharmaceuticals, and digital public infrastructure contrast with later‑emerging foundations like mass learning, firm scale, supplier depth, and industrial cities.
I prioritize increasing research density over the next decade because it raises the ceiling of every other capability branch.
The interactive capability tree (https://lnkd.in/dNcpK86U) lets users slide the year from 1960‑2023, compare India with China, South Korea, the US, and Vietnam, and explore prerequisite relationships.
