Case Title:

GE in India: The Growth Strategies

Abstract:

(GE) sold 60% of its stake in its Business Process Outsourcing division in India, GECIS (General Electric Capital International Services), in order to focus on its core business operations that included healthcare, transportation equipment, financial services and infrastructure. This marked the third phase of investment by GE. According to Jeffery Immelt, Chief Executive Officer, the growing business opportunities in India would allow GE to leverage on the advantages of the Indian market, such as strong consumer and commercial finance sectors, which would enable GE to realise revenues worth $5 billion by 2010.

Pedagogical Objectives:

• To highlight the growth strategies followed by GE to capitalise on the growing opportunities in the Indian market
