Growth Outlook
Strong — India's listed-company universe is expanding (1,000+ NSE listings, 5,000+ BSE listings), unicorn IPO pipeline is robust, and global capability centers (GCCs) of MNCs are increasingly headed by India-based CEOs. Family-business successions over the next decade (G3/G4 transitions at Birla, Mahindra, Bajaj groups) plus continued startup IPO maturation mean CEO roles at top-tier Indian companies will grow ~5-8% annually through 2030.
