India: Too Big to Ignore

India, with its rich demographic dividend and diverse corporate environment, is set to become the fastest-growing major economy in the world over the next five years. Given the size of the economy and its markets, the country is simply becoming too big to ignore.

Foreign direct investments are already at record levels, and mega trends such as global offshoring, digitalisation and energy transition are setting the scene for a continued unprecedented economic growth in India - a country of more than one billion people. Closely linked to this transformation is the supply chain and logistics industry where India is now emerging as a global key player. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for SCM services from industries such as manufacturing, retail, healthcare, among others. So, how can Swedish businesses approach the opportunities in India, and make sure that they take advantage of the emerging new trends in supply chain management?

To answer this question, SwedCham has invited Cecilia Oskarsson​, Trade and Invest Commissioner of Sweden to India and Rahul Misra​, Head of Business Development & Trade for India at Business Sweden​, who will share their perspectives and key considerations for Swedish companies looking towards this gigantic market.

Agenda:

• 8:15 - 8:30 Registration and light breakfast
• 8:30 - 9:30 Presentation by Cecilia Oskarsson​, Trade and Invest Commissioner of Sweden to India and Rahul Misra​, Head of Business Development & Trade, India at Business Sweden​
