Multi-national Corporations (MNCs) have been contributing immensely to the growth and development of the Indian economy since the country unleashed major liberalization reforms in the early 1990s. Their rapid emergence has helped in bridging the gaps in domestic investment, inflow of superior technology, skill development, employment generation, tax contributions, among others. They have also contributed to the flagship initiatives of the government of India, including ‘Make in India’, ‘Startup India’, ‘Smart Cities’ and several CSR activities.
