Renewable energy sector globally
Shift from IT services dominance toward renewable energy and consumer goods sectors within India's economy; potential rebalancing of India's export-oriented tech sector influence as domestic consumption gains relative strength.
Similar to India's economic transition in early 2000s when IT services peaked and diversification into other sectors became necessary for sustained growth.
