IoD International Trade First Wednesday India
India is on a path to becoming self-reliant, with ambitious steps being taken to achieve a $5 trillion economy by 2030.
Geopolitically, India presents an attractive geography for investors, exemplified by BlackRock's significant investments in commercial real estate.
Mechanisms like Invest India have been established to provide single-window clearance for investors and companies, streamlining the investment process. The sports and gig economies are transforming opportunities for young people, while travel and tourism continue to evolve, reflecting the dynamic nature of the Indian traveller.
The Tata Group's success and strategic acquisitions, from Corus Steel to Jaguar Land Rover, highlight India's growing influence and capability in the global market.
