The telecom giant, which is now worth around S$73.5 billion, owes much of its sizable market capitalization to its stake in India's Bharti Airtel, a telecommunications company serving over 360 million customers. Singtel's investment in Airtel began in 2000 and has since grown to approximately S$41.7 billion in value. This makes up 56.6% of Singtel's entire market capitalization, a testament to the lucrative nature of India as a destination for Singaporean capital. Temasek's investment in Schneider Electric India also yielded impressive returns, selling its 35% stake for S$8.18 billion after purchasing it for S$860 million five years prior. Overall, India's rapidly growing economy and large market size make it an attractive prospect for foreign investment, as evidenced by the success of Temasek and Singtel.",
