If you feel that India's economy is 70% sustainable on local demand how do you explain the event of 2007 and beyond?
The truth is most of the markets are depended on America as it is the biggest consumer. The entire IT sector gets its revenue from America and Europe.

Buddy, i have a gentle disagreement regarding this. India GDP grew by 6.7% in financial year 2008-2009- That was the height of painful recession.
Exports dwindled month after month in 2008-2009. Still India managed to grew by 6.7% in 2008-2009 from average of 9% growth rate during 2004-2007.
2.2% growth was shaved off because of recession which includes decreased exports. So, decreased exports did shaved off some GDP growth.
But Corporate India is not fully dependent on exports. If that was the case, we would have negative GDP growth like Singapore or some island nations had which are very much dependent on exports.
Our bulk of growth is derived from production of goods and services which are consumed internally. 13% of GDP comes through export of goods and services (which include IT services as well)
The consumption you are talking about most of it is subsidized. This doesn't generate substantial profits as still our major population is below the poverty line
I do not have data with me but as far my general knowledge is concerned, Corporate India average margins are quite healthy in line with global peers.
If you spot a boy in village eating swiss giant nestle kit kat priced at Rs 5, this does not mean nestle is not earning anything. Nestle is still making 10-15% margin on that after factoring in local cost of production in delivering chocolate made in India.
I know you are going to disagree with me and i respect your opinion and views.
