Global Exhibition on Services (GES) 2019 service sector generates more employment than any other sector and has a huge potential for India in the healthcare industry which is a $100 billion business globally with India’s share of only about $1 billion. More than one crore people travel globally for healthcare every year but India receives only 2-3 lakhs. The 5th Global Exhibition on Services (GES) was held at Palace Grounds, Bengaluru from Novembver 26 to 28. GES is the largest services show in India and is expected to showcase India’s capability across various services sectors before a global audience. Delegates from over 100 countries are to participate in GES2019. The sign of a growing economy is directly proportional to a higher contribution from the service sector. “In many developed countries up to 95 percent of GDP comes from the service sector. In education, out of the 50 lakh students traveling abroad for higher studies globally, only about 45,000 come to India. In the civil aviation sector India spends more than a billion dollars on maintenance, most of which is outsourced to other countries. Similarly, in shipping India imports about $500 billion worth of goods every year and only a small fraction of this is on Indian carriers. India’s prowess in the IT industry there is still scope for much more as the global market is valued at $4 trillion.
