The India Business Forum at London Business School is proud to announce and invite you to its 3rd annual conference titled “Liberalisation & Growth: A Balancing Act”. The forum is brought to you in collaboration with the Commonwealth Business Council.
The India Business Forum, formulated in the year 2002, aims to further the role of India in the global business milieu. With London Business School as a platform, IBF is a confluence of global business leaders, academicians, financiers, entrepreneurs and students to discuss and debate pertinent issues relating to doing business in and with India.
India’s current growth rate is the discussion point for many global economists and investors. During such debates the commentators almost always state that to increase or even sustain such unprecedented growth rates, the government must increase the speed of liberalisation, invest more in infrastructure and reduce bureaucracy.
Whilst these are obvious problems on the surface and acknowledged being acted upon by all within the Government, achieving liberalisation in world’s largest democracy may not be a straight-forward task. India is not a homogenous market - It has a burgeoning middle class enjoying the fruits of a growing economy. But it has an even larger rural class that is somewhat a step-removed from the front line gains. It has an abundance of skilled employees but at the other end of spectrum millions that never make it to the school. And yet the country surges forward in its entrpreneurial drive with the industry making waves globally.
The Forum will highlight these interesting dynamics and put forth arguments that make India true might in the emerging global economic order. Forum Sessions include: |
