MK Anand, MD & CEO, Times Network, said, “India has never been in a more interesting position from a global point of view. As the world enters a new decade amidst the Pandemic, India enters the most crucial phase in its Economic history post liberalisation. The Global order of Trade is changing. What started with the ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign a few years ago has gained momentum across. As a major economy which was not so integrated into the Global system, this leaves us with a comparative advantage over others who will face headwinds in the emerging scenario. India is also pursuing ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ and an aggressive ‘Make in India’ strategy to further insulate itself. This is an interesting canvas to draw the agenda of India for the new decade. Can India claim its spot at the high table of major economies? Will India ride on the demographic dividend or face a demographic challenge? Will India play the role of a catalyst and guardian in the Indian Ocean Region? These are critical questions that will affect India’s growth in the next decade and as always India Economic Conclave will attempt to bring these into sharper focus.”

Adhering to strict Covid-19 protocols and capping attendance to a limited number of guests to meet social distancing norms, IEC 2021 is a ‘by invitation only’ event, which will follow the highest standards of hygiene and sanitation to bring a ‘contactless event experience’.
