He added, “The incredible growth of India's economy has resulted in positive spillover effect for the US between 2002 and 2009, US goods exports to India quadrupled, growing from $4.1 billion to more than $16.4 billion in 2009.” “US services exports to India more than tripled from $3.2 billion to $9.9 billion during the period,” he said.
