| Welcome to the 2011 edition of India Business Conference! |
“For in Asia and around the world, India is not simply emerging; India has already emerged”,
President of United States in his speech to the Indian Parliament a few months ago.
At a time when the developed countries went in to depression, India’s GDP growth remained steady at around 8%.
Today, India is the third most preferred nation in the world to attract capital inflow and is expected to grow
even faster than the Chinese economy in 2012, according to World Bank report. As the new decade begins, India’s
growth story will depend on how she rises up to the challenges of her new reality.
7th Annual India Business Conference at Columbia Business School invites you to take part in an honest
conversation on the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for India in the new decade. We are bringing you
business people, financiers, investors, entrepreneurs, scholars, politicians, innovators, and leaders from across the globe
– all of whom are intimately involved in India's growth, successes, and challenges. We expect more than 500 business professionals,
students, faculty & many others interested in India’s story to attend the conference. We welcome you to the conference to share
your own experiences, to network with the speakers and other believers, or just to find out more about the interesting phenomena
called India.
