India's domestic savings as a percentage of its GDP is 28%, which is one of the highest in the world.

A significant portion of these savings is in the form of investment avenues like gold, fixed deposits, postal schemes and insurance. Net returns from such avenues, on the post-tax basis, could barely outperform inflation. Investment opportunities available in India have been growing in the recent past. The best investment opportunities are often found in the most unlikely places and situations&is affected by changes in government policies, technological innovations, anticipating the future, International trends, and sunrise industries.
