This sentence is from the same article as in my previous question.
E’ uno dei tanti segni di come l’India stia entrando ***a 360 gradi*** nella globalizzazione.
I need an equivalent expression in English. I've thought of both "one hundred percent" and "full force" but I'd like suggestions if you have any.

An idea...from Claire

Thanks Elvana. Whole heartedly might be OK in context, but it says they are enjoying it, which 360 doesn't.

I completely agree with Jim's answers, I'm just adding some alternatives.
This is one of my pets, too!
Let me add:
full force
completely (simple yet sweet!)
full immersion (vary based on need ie. fully immersed)
over all (but not in your particular context)
and there are many more!
