Abstract The concept of globalization with its momentum has replaced the terms ‘domestic’ or ‘global’, to Glocal-Global plus Local. Indian companies have adopted the ‘Overseas Direct Investment’ route to gain latest technology, assets, skills, resources and new markets. This research paper highlighted the trend and patterns adopted by Indian companies by Foreign Direct Investment Outflows. This research analysed the data 10 years from April 2007 to April 2017, collated it annually, and then cumulated together for making inferences. The policy framework of Foreign Direct Investment Outflows in India revealed the government's intentions to nurture and support the development of Indian companies’ investments abroad by creation of Foreign Investment Facilitation Portal and the Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements. The overall trend of the overseas investments was positive. The equity participation in the overseas investments was 28%, the loans 16% whereas the Guarantee Issued by the Indian companies was 56%. Lastly, analyzing the mode of investments revealed that 24% of the investments made during the last decade were Joint Ventures and 76% of the investments made were WOS.
