This book analyzes the Indian service sector's heterogeneity. Unlike the few other books in the area, this analysis uses hitherto unutilized data bases, more rigorous methods, and examines some unexplored questions.

This book addresses a range of issues relating to the nature and implications of growth of India’s services sector, including factors contributing to the rise of services, output measurement and heterogeneity, growth of services exports, and employment in services sectors. From service tax, exchange rate and services exports, policy interest, employment potential and diversity of the sector to challenges in financial inclusion, trajectories of ICT services and contribution of education to GDP, it brings together diverse themes to highlight major concerns in the wake of the prominent role that services have played in placing India among the fast-growing economies in the world in recent years. The services sector in India accounts for more than 60 per cent of the GDP of the country and 28.6 per cent of its employed across government, private or state corporations and non-government organisations. The volume explores whether the services sector (beyond agriculture and industry) holds the promise of fulfilling the benefits from India’s demographic dividend for its economic transformation through sustainable growth. With key empirical analyses of household, enterprise and macroeconomic data for India within both formal and informal sectors, this topical book will be useful to scholars and researchers of economics, Indian economy, political economy, development economics, development studies, public policy and South Asian studies and also to development professionals, policy makers and industry specialists.

In a paper published by us a couple of years ago on Anthropological Economics, (the year 2020 to be precise) we had mooted the idea of trickle up economics as contrasted with the rather more popular and mundane trickle down economics. We had argued that the latter would be somewhat dubious, iffy, inconsistent and non-replicable in a wide variety of situations, particularly in the case of developing nations. We had argued that trickle up economics would actually boost wide-ranging economic growth, and add to the Gross domestic product in a big way. While we never were, and still are not big fans of socialism, we have always argued, and will continue to argue for balanced, diversified and equitable economic development models. There is a world of difference between the two. We had also argued that the economic models pursued by advanced industrial nations will not by and large, work in developing nations. Thus, American style economic conservatism is meaningless in Indian political and economic contexts. There are fundamental differences in ground realities between these two different sets of nations. It would make eminent sense for the readers of this book to read the aforesaid paper as well, as we will not be able to reproduce the contents in this paper in its entirely here; many of the proposals advocated and espoused in this paper can also be implemented by developing economies, though rather much more slowly. We focus only on the meat here............

The book presents a comprehensive study of the impact of policy reforms on output, employment, and productivity growth across sectors of India since 1991. It showcases varied responses from different sectors as they faced different degrees of policy interventions, and challenges or opportunities as regards markets, technology, and availability of skills and other complementary resources. The book also discusses the contributions of the service sector on India’s GDP and employment. The book throws light on the phenomena of rising inequality and persistent poverty which continues to shadow and be a hallmark of post-reform India, despite high economic growth. It underlines the failure of these reforms to bring about major change in social and economic organizations and institutions. The book’s contents stress on the criticality of addressing these issues as they have a serious potential of jeopardizing the country’s ability to maintain high growth momentum. With these pertinent topics, the book would be of interest not only to the research community, but also to policy makers and practitioners of various sectors addressed here.
