Abstract

This research is aimed at understanding the role of ‘service economy’ in Karnataka and explore the policy implications for the future. We examine the role of the service sector in Karnataka using parameters of growth, employment, stability and sustainability of this growth and its vulnerabilities to shocks evidenced through available data while also analysing the role of the state’s policies and the interlinkages with the pattern that emerges from the analysis of data and policies. The brief advocates for a balance and congruity in micro-macro, economic-social, and economic growth and equality goals.
