WIEF to define 'global Indian'

The theme of the 12th such conference, to be held Saturday in Philadelphia, is 'India Imagine'. It will serve as a platform for thought-leaders, professionals and policy makers to define their perception of the global Indian and discuss the wave of new imagination that is spurring the nouveau Indian to create unprecedented opportunities.

 

WIEF's goal is to raise awareness of issues India continues to face as a leading emerging market country and to raise awareness of the WIEF platform as it attracts some of the top business, political and other thought leaders of India, the organisers said.

 

Over the last two years WIEF has traced the Indian growth story exploring themes such as 'India's Mantra for Success' and 'Realising the Indian Dream'.

 

Today, WIEF seeks to assess all the different issues that India may face on its continued journey towards becoming an economic powerhouse.

 

From development to healthcare and mass retail to investments, participants will explore India with her leaders, WIEF said.

 

India continues to be a story of dramatic growth, even in an increasingly gloomy economic environment, the forum said. It has travelled an extraordinary path to emerge stronger and prouder than envisaged 62 years ago. Today, 1.1 billion Indians can shape India's future, using their collective imagination, according to the forum.

 

Speakers will discuss topics like India's New Mandate: Addressing the Health Care Paradox; Mass Retail: Getting Organized to Grow Too Soon?; The Indian Diaspora; Investing in India: The Maturation Process, What's Next?; Infrastructure: No Longer an Achilles Heel of Growth; India's Unprivileged Majority: The Real Development Story; and Technology's role in the New Indian Economy.
