Indian economy is very protected and inward looking, meaning that their entire economy is focused on fullfiling domestic demands while they keep the competition from outside to be as little as possible. Only USA succeeded using that tactics so far and it requires them 150 years since independence to be rich.
SEA is following the already proven East Asian model, export oriented economy. In the case of Indonesia, it used to be like India, but in the last 10 years Indonesia has taken various reforms similar to Japan and Korea back in their 60s-70s or China in 80s. Those reforms are almost impossible to do in democratic countries (India can't) except one party state like Japan, that's why any global investors is positive about Indonesia. East Asian model in a democratic country? Indonesia is basically Japan in the making.
