India has enormous economic opportunities in the present global circumstances and is on a firm growth path, said Larry Kramer, President and Vice-Chancellor of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

In a conversation with ANI on the sidelines of the 4th Kautilya Economic Conclave in Delhi on Friday, Kramer highlighted that India's growth story is strong and resilient, with vast scope for further expansion if the right steps continue to be taken.

"India has enormous economic opportunities in current economic circumstances in the world. India has been on a growth path for a while. I think the goal is to kick it up another degree and the opportunities are there, mostly by not letting the turbulence of the world get too much in the way of the obvious story of continuing to invest in the domestic economy," Kramer said.

He emphasized that India must persist with its focus on strengthening fundamentals such as educating children, inviting more women into the workforce, and investing in infrastructure.

"It's the standard story for economic growth and with the size of the economy, I think India is on its growth," he added. Speaking on global tariff developments, Kramer said it was too soon to gauge the full impact but noted that he was surprised the effects had not been greater so far.
