Investing in growth: India as a strategic player in global businesses and investments

Thursday 8 October (1615 - 1730)

Committee(s)

Asia Pacific Regional Forum (Lead)

Description

A session presented by the India Working Group of the Asia Pacific Regional Forum.

Given the number of recent trade deals that India has entered into, its continuing attraction as an investment destination, and India Inc.’s interest in investments overseas, India is very well poised as a strategic player in today’s global business. Given India’s demography, talent pool and geostrategic position, it attracts investments in manufacturing, service and infrastructure sectors as well as upcoming technology-based and sensitive sectors such as data centres, defence, nuclear and space.

In the same breath, Indian corporates are looking to expand their horizons overseas with both financial and strategic investments. This session will seek to address both typical and complex questions on India’s investment opportunities and regulatory landscape, industrial and tax policies and how best to navigate them on behalf of both Indian and global financial and strategic investors.
