Abstract
Ever since the opening up of the Indian economy in 1990–1991, firms started pursuing internationalization opportunities. Using outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) as an indicator, we can argue that there is a continuous trend of active internationalization of Indian firms. OFDI stock from India for the period 2000–2009 reached US$75 billion (World Investment Report, 2010) whereas it was only US$700 million in 1990–1999.
