India achieved 6-7% average GDP growth annually which is a double of the world average growth rate.

However, there are still many social issues such as air pollution, undeveloped education system, poor infrastructure.

As it’s difficult to subsidize India permanently, that is why we have started “Social Innovation Lab in India” project which aims at delivering value as Japanese corporations by doing activities for social issues of India.
