Economist Jeffrey Sachs has projected that India will become the world's largest economy by 2100, signalling a major shift of global economic power toward Asia.
In a recent interview, economist Jeffrey Sachs, known for his work on development economics, outlined a long‑term forecast that places India at the top of the global GDP rankings by 2100.
Sachs cited demographic momentum, rising productivity, and an expanding middle class as key drivers that could propel India past current leaders such as China.
The projection aligns with broader analyses that suggest a shift of economic influence from the West to Asia, with India expected to play a central role.
While the forecast is based on current growth trajectories, it underscores the need for sustained policy reforms to harness India's potential.
