India
The Republic of India is the second-most populous country in the world and one of the oldest civilizations on the planet. While Hinduism is the dominant religion, India is a country of diverse religious beliefs and ethnic makeup—its two thousand ethnic groups speak 780 languages. With such a deep culture and long history, it’s no surprise the country has 37 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Most tourists are familiar with the iconic Taj Mahal, but there are so many other incredible archeological wonders such as the Ellora Caves and the Kajuraho monuments. This is a country that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime.
India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and has close business ties with the United States. Due to its young population and educated workforce, India is an information technology powerhouse with a robust startup scene of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. It is the leading country for business process outsourcing and its manufacturing sector continues to improve. India is not only an exporter of products and services to the U.S., but also imports American farm products, chemicals, machinery and aircraft along with intellectual property and travel services. Visa Supply is ready to help with both business and tourist visas for India.
