Indian hand-woven fabrics have existed since beyond the reach of memory. This sector involves large number of artisans from rural and semi-urban areas, most of which are women and people from economically disadvantaged groups. Some of the strengths of this industry are availability of cheap and abundant labour, use of local resources, low capital investment, unique craftsmanship in manufacturing of the products and increasing appreciation by international consumers. It is important to note that despite such unique characteristics, the industry comprises a meager proportion of Indian exports in global market, thus calling for efforts to promote and channelize the offerings of the industry to tap its hidden potential. The present study is an effort to bring out the cultural importance of this precious handloom, by giving an overview of its history, role of handloom before and after Independence, revival of handloom, process and varieties of handloom prevailing in India.

In the first quarter of 2024, India stood out in the Asia-Pacific region's financial sector with the highest number of merger and acquisition deals, totalling 27, compared to its counterparts such as Japan, Australia, South Korea, and Mainland China. While deal volumes across the region dropped by 14% year-on-year, India saw a slight increase from the previous year, showcasing resilience amidst economic uncertainties and geopolitical risks. Notably, India's strong forecast and robust deal-making potential were highlighted by AsiaLink Business CEO Leigh Howard, indicating promising prospects for continued growth in the sector.
Despite the overall decline in deal numbers, India demonstrated significant activity in terms of deal value, with four of the top 10 deals by value closed within the country, totalling US$ 845.79 million. The largest of these was Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's acquisition of SMFG India Credit for US$ 700 million, reflecting investor confidence and interest in India's financial landscape.
