India is consistently growing at around 7% per annum. It is the fastest-growing large economy in the world, with a GDP ranked fifth in the world. Economists estimate that India will overtake Germany and Japan by 2028 to occupy third position after the US and China. New opportunities are opening up in numerous sectors now. As of 31 May, India had 108 unicorns with a total valuation of $340.80 billion.
Yet problems remain. India’s notorious bureaucracy and arbitrary tax collection add cost and uncertainty to business operations. Political populism is also a risk.
An eminent panel will make sense of a confusing country, about which a famous Cambridge economist Joan Robinson famously observed: “Whatever you can rightly say about India, the opposite is also true.”
Our speakers will be Ratun Lahiri Majumdar, Head of Global Development Programmes at London Stock Exchange Group; Amit Singh, Linklaters Partner, Head of South and Southeast Asia Capital Markets; Atul Shah, London School of Economic; and Sam Tully, Director, Head of UK Business Development, Quantum Advisors India.
