Talking about the index, Aroop Zutshi said, “The GIL framework not only gives us an overarching unique ranking, but it also encapsulates 100 different dimensions, which can be easily sliced and diced to uniquely identify state-specific growth pockets and investment opportunities.”
This annual index developed by Frost & Sullivan essentially evaluates India’s 30 states and union territories on 100 indicators across parameters such as economic prosperity and infrastructure development, employing an indexing methodology to facilitate state-wise comparisons. The research involved the collection of data for 100 indicators across 10 pillars. The diversity of indicators ensured that states were evaluated using a multidimensional approach as opposed to a one-sided approach. An indexing methodology was then employed to generate the rankings.
