INDIA is one of the oldest civilizations in the world
with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage.
It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most
populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the
most populous democracy in the world. In the present
scenario, India’s economy is the fourth largest by purchasing
power parity (PPP) and 10th largest by nominal
gross domestic product (GDP), globally.
India has seen a systematic transition from being a
closed door economy to an open economy since the beginning
of economic reforms in the country in 1991.
These reforms have had a far-reaching impact and have
helped India unleash its enormous growth potential.
Today India is one of the fastest growing economies in
the world and has emerged as a key destination for foreign
investors in recent years. According to UNCTAD’s
World Investment Prospects Survey 2012–2014, India is
the third-most attractive destination for FDI (after China
and the US) in the world.
India’s GDP has also grown at around 7.9 per cent between
2003 and 2012. This trend, according to the International
Monetary Fund (IMF), is likely to continue for
the next five years with an average GDP growth rate of
7.7 per cent per annum till 2017. India’s GDP for 2015,
valued at US$ 2.183 trillion at current prices is the 10th
largest in the world1.
India Summit: The innovation economy will gather opinion leaders from government, business and academia for a frank and forward-looking discussion about India’s innovation economy, its prospects for growth and the challenges it will face.

Enabling Indian manufacturing MSMEs for global competitivenessIET India
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a watershed moment for businesses globally. While the scenario looks gloomy all around, there are significant local and global factors that may prove to be favourable for FDI in manufacturing, especially in the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in India.
Post the lethal impact of COVID-19, more and more manufacturing companies are looking towards India as an investment destination and as a reliable alternative to other low-cost producer countries. This will benefit the growth of established firms/sectors, providing significant new prospects for Indian MSMEs to step up and move to the next level. However, it is important to be cognisant of the fact that in order to successfully grab these opportunities, there needs to be a serious rethink of existing business models.
This paper focuses on the opportunities available, scope for improvement, and solutions to varied challenges for the MSME sector in India.

Bangladesh’s hi-tech industry is gaming forward on the back of steady economic indicators that signal rising per capita income, a surging young-consumer market indicative of future demand for tech products and services, and favorable policies that paved the ground for local and international players to explore the market. The emerging startup ecosystem has also been playing an instrumental role in channeling FDIs to industries like FinTech, Logistics, and Mobility since 2016. While the ongoing government initiatives in building capacities to sustain investment are portraying a positive future, over-supply of low-cost labor remains one of the major growth drivers for the hi-tech industry.

15. Aligning Business and Strategy
• To understand India’s endeavour to align business and strategic goals, we need to
look into the changing nature of global power centres.
• End of the Cold War and the economic rise of Asia.
• 2008 crisis that brought out the redistribution of power in the global order.
• More impactful are the daily consequences of New Product Development,
Innovation and multiple technology revolutions.
• To a country like India, they offer enormous leap-frogging possibilities.
• The number of smartphone users in India is reaching 500 million. This offers immense
potential for the growth of any venture, in terms of outreach and job creation. JAM
• It is not just the power hierarchy that is changing. Interplay of nation states is
clearly circumscribed by interdependence.
• The global strategic landscape is akin to business environment.
• Its key concepts are risk assessments, convergence, competition, leveraging and hedging.
• Countries which can comprehend this changing paradigm will grow ; others
would be trapped in old debates.
16. Business of Indian diplomacy is increasingly
Business
• In the course of human history business has played a major role in driving
national strategies.
• Business is becoming central to the formulation of strategy.
• During the present century strengths of nations are primarily derived from
economic growth. Thus business becomes the ballast for many of our important
international relationships. ASEAN, the Gulf and China.
• It is the primary driver in some, perhaps a little less salient in others, but never
entirely absent.
• In contentious situations, business can even serve as a mitigating factor.
• Where strategic imperatives are less pronounced – like in Latin America and parts
of Africa – business is actually our main connect.
17. Conclusion
• As we now look beyond narrower economic reform towards a much broader modernisation effort, its relevance to our
engagement with the world is only stronger.
• India’s approach in aligning business and strategic goals bears some similarity to the experiences of East Asian and South East
Asian polities as they traversed their path of national development.
• India’s foreign policy is today dominated by the quest for capital, resources, technology, capabilities and best practices and all this
is very much relevant to the NPD and innovation in India.
• They have become the benchmarks to judge the success or otherwise of policies and interactions.
• Contribution of partner countries from across the globe is solicited in development programmes like Digital India, Skill India and
Smart Cities.
