A contrasting mix of old and new, poor and rich, India is a land of mysteries. Rapidly gaining the reputation as one of the fastest growing economies of the world, India can be termed as the new land of opportunity. It is an ultimate destination to gain work experience through an internship or volunteer with those who the growth has left behind. New businesses are popping up left and right to tap into the Indian market whether for financial services, media, restaurant and hospitality industries, or the IT and retail sectors. Home to some of the youngest entrepreneurs, there is an abundant demand for fresh ideas and global experiences. The corporate and grassroots style of businesses here will enhance any resume and personality. Along with the growing economy, India has created a huge widening gap between its rich and poor. The majority of the population is not benefiting from the IT boom or the worldwide Bollywood popularity. In fact 41.01% of the world’s poor reside in India. In short, a lot of help is needed from volunteers.
