In several episodes, “The Simpsons” humorously referenced India’s booming economy, especially in terms of outsourcing and global business expansion. This is evident in episodes like “Much Apu About Nothing,” where Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, the beloved convenience store owner, talks about the business opportunities emerging in India. This parallels the real-world surge of India’s economic growth in the 21st century, with companies like Tata, Infosys, and Wipro leading the way in global markets.
