India is a land of social, cultural and economic diversity. If we were to view India as constituting four regions – East, North, South and West - we would observe that each of these regions have their traditional economic strengths which have led to profitable investment avenues for discerning investors. For example, while the Eastern region is rich in mineral resources like iron ore, coal and alumina, the Southern cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore are the traditional strongholds of the Information Technology industry. While Auto and auto ancillary industry has thrived in and around centers like Pune, Chennai and Delhi we find that Petrochemical complexes have developed near ports such Jamnagar, Haldia, Mangalore. We can infer that each region is a full-fledged investment universe in itself offering a multitude of investment opportunities.
