KPMG in India is knowledge partner for this event.

      While the long-term future for India remains very positive, the country needs to navigate successfully thru the geopolitical quagmire that the world has become. Next five years will be critical to India’s medium-term story, requiring both strategic clarity and effective execution across industries. The chances of any industry getting disrupted are higher than ever, not only due to technology but also because of geopolitics. The most important characteristic any company or country needs to demonstrate over next few years will be resilience, which also calls for an ability to deeply understand the impact of geopolitics and technology.

      AIMA's flagship annual event, National Leadership Conclave (NLC) is a thought leadership platform that brings together various stakeholders for constructive dialogue on the way forward for the Indian economy and the well-rounded growth of the nation. The National Leadership Conclave features numerous sessions and several fireside chats with dignitaries and veterans. The Conclave convenes delegates from industry, government, media, and academia from across the country.

      India at the Crossroads: Driving Growth Amid Global Headwinds

      India’s growth momentum is threatened by the spreading rancour and violence in the world, and the country needs to quickly find ways to shield itself from the disruptions in energy production, shipping, and aviation. India is already dealing with trade and tariff wars, and its recent trade agreements will take time to provide relief and growth. While the domestic investment and consumption will sustain India’s GDP growth reasonably well, India needs to work on its strengths, strategies, and partnerships to overcome global headwinds. It must find ways to navigate a mercurial geopolitical environment to achieve the kind the growth necessary to fulfil its aspiration of becoming a developed economy in the next couple of decades.

      • What kind of costs would a prolonged war in West Asia impose on India’s economy?
      • How can India secure its growth against clashes between its vital energy, trading, and technology partners?
      • What can India do to extract more growth from its domestic economy?
