Indian Economic summit 2009 Delhi

• The World Economic Forum celebrated 25 years of active engagement in India at its annual India Economic Summit. This year's Summit set a new record for total participation with over 800 leaders from industry, government, civil society and academia from over 40 countries. Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, looked back over a quarter of a century of partnership with India, and noted two events in particular as having played an important role in the relationship.

• At the same time, Indian industry leaders have been among the most engaged and committed in Forum activities throughout the year. "They have lent their time and expertise to our initiatives, our Industry Partnership programmes and our various knowledge capacities, such as the Global Agenda Councils," Schwab concluded.

• While capable of falling back on its domestic market to weather the international economic storm, India - like all countries - remains tied to developments around the world. The country also faces security threats at home.

• Palaniappan Chidambaram, Minister of Home Affairs of India, addressed the domestic threat. "Our security challenges are no different than those facing every country of the world - terrorists," he said. "We are alive to the challenge. Every day, every week and every month we are adding capacity and building confidence.

• Most panellists agreed that India will have to rely on a large basket of both clean and dirty energy for the foreseeable future. However, the trend is and will continue to be away from traditional fuels like coal and towards cleaner options - even if international climate change talks fail. "We will have to address global warming," said Madhu Koneru, Executive Director, Trimex International, U A E. "If we want to attract investment, we will have to have de facto compliance [with emissions targets]."

Asian Affairs August 2010

India has skilled, English-speaking labor at far cheaper rates than can be found anywhere else.Approximately 85 percent of its population is younger than 45, giving India vitality and forward momentum.

To capitalize on this reality, particularly in high-tech and export zones, India must stay focused onincreasing access to power and water. India’s strong legal system and low-cost, high-skill labor markeoffer investors further incentives.

India has seen heavy investment in sectors driven by consumer demand, which has primarily benefited

large cities, as they already enjoy developed infrastructure. However, we need to look beyond India’scities and target less-developed areas.

To that end, industrial growth will require feasible infrastructure, power and water. The governmenthas made building infrastructure a priority, meaning investment will flow into sectors like power andtransportation, which are instrumentalfor developing growth.
