Youth Consumer Behavior

Youth Consumer behavior

But India's future won't simply be determined by

powerful CEOs and political leaders - just as I know that

the ties among our people aren't limited to contacts

between our corporations and our governments. And

that's why I wanted to speak to all of you today,

because India's future will be

determined by you and by

young people like you across

this countryYou are the future leaders. You are the future nnovators

and the future educators. You're the future

entrepreneurs and the future elected officials.In this

country of more than a billion people, more than

half of all Indians are under 30

years old That's an extraordinary statistic and it's

one that speaks to a great sense of possibility - because

in a democracy like India's - or America's - every single

child holds within them the promise of greatness. And

every child should have the

opportunity to achieve that

greatness
