Description
India continues to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The vision of the Indian government to achieve the GDP target of USD5 trillion by 2025 has seen several reforms in the existing law, improving ease of doing business and key investments in strategic sectors. India has one of the most vibrant start-up markets, with a fast maturing PE/VC industry. Data and technology are key drivers and concerns for the stakeholders. Manufacturing in identified areas is a priority and several initiatives have been taken to achieve this. India recognises the need to be at the centre of world trade and is embarking on the ambitious path of concluding free trade agreements with several countries and blocks to ensure key goods, parts and technology are available to Indian entrepreneurs and consumers while allowing greater opportunities for its domestic industry and workforce to operate at a global level.
