India became the world's most populous nation in June of this year, according to figures from the United Nations, when its population surpassed 1.4 billion. There is enormous potential for domestic demand under the demographic dividend and the rise of middle- and high-income households. Taiwan Boutique continues to support Taiwan Boutique businesses in their growth into the South Asian market by taking part in events like the Taiwan Boutique E-Sports Finals in November and the India Taiwan Image Exhibition in Mumbai in October.
