Foreign investment has accelerated at an incredible rate over the last quarter-century, and alterations in the flow of this investment are increasingly changing the global economic environment. International investors provide new markets not only new capital, technology, competitive spirit, and ideas, but also additional jobs. For India's economic development, foreign direct investment (FDI) has been a substantial non-debt financial resource and a key growth engine. South Korea's economy is one of Asia's most promising and lively. The country's stability, quick growth rates, strong manufacturing base, export focus, and availability of superior technology make it an appealing investment destination. India's permitted cumulative investments in South Korea from April 1996 to December 2019 was US$ 593.9 million, according to data from the Ministry of Finance, Government of India (GOI), and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). According to the FDI Markets database, India was the 15th largest investor in South Korea between 2009 and 2019, with 14 Indian businesses investing US$ 913 million in 17 FDI projects, resulting in the creation of 5,519 jobs. As a result, the current study examines India-South Korea's bilateral investment ties and looks ahead to possible areas of cooperation in the future between the two countries' investment relations.
