China: China opened up its economy by the 1970s and saw unprecedented growth, which many economists say, might never again be repeated by another country.
China worked on an export-based model and mass production of products using cheap labor. Today over 40% of the country's GDP comes from Manufacturing while the sectors of Industry and Construction account for 48% of the GDP.

57% of India's GDP is based on the services sector and BPO and software development is their biggest industry.
