Tata companies such as Tata Power, Tata Projects, Tata Chemical, Titan and Tata Motors, among others, are on the lookout for opportunities in Vietnam and Myanmar.

"The region has recorded more than 5% GDP growth on average since the year 2000 and, when combined, ASEAN nations would represent the world's seventh-largest economy. The region, is therefore, regarded by many as the third pillar of economic growth within Asia, after China and India," Shashank Tripathi, partner and strategy leader at PwC was quoted as saying by the publication.
Vietnam signed a free trade agreement (FTA) with the European Union on Dec. 2, 2015. The country is set to become global trade partner for the US and the EU as it has recently signed the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). These moves have made the nation become an important strategic partner for India.
