ABSTRACT:
This paper examines the concepts of business efficiency and competitiveness, as well as their empirical measures, with a focus on the role of regional/geopolitical factors in shaping international trade economies. It also explores India's post-independence scepticism towards private businesses and foreign policy, along with its strategic thinking and trade economy. Additionally, the paper discusses post-pandemic opportunities for trade, particularly in the context of the Russian-Ukraine conflict and its potential impact on global economic dynamics. The findings suggest that geopolitical tensions and shifts in global economic paradigms have significant implications for trade relations between nations. The study highlights the importance of diversifying investments, enhancing manufacturing capabilities, and investing in research and development efforts to strengthen economies and navigate geopolitical complexities. The paper concludes by emphasizing India's emerging potential as an alternative investment destination and its role in balancing interests between major global players.
