“At one level, India's been doing very, very well, right... so, it's a testament, maybe, to the good ways in which India's economy has been managed so far. The growth rate was very high, very impressive. That being said, you still have a number of challenges that, some of which we're already seeing, some that are on the way, perhaps.”
