Panel discussion

Fortifying growth: Arming the economy against external disruptions

In an increasingly fragmented and unpredictable world, India’s growth story faces a new generation of external risks – from geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions to volatile commodity prices, supply-chain shocks and technological upheaval. Yet every disruption also creates an opportunity to strengthen India’s economic foundations and accelerate its global ambitions. This session explores how India can build greater resilience across trade, industry, finance and supply chains while sustaining high growth. The conversation examines what businesses, policymakers and investors must do today to make India’s next phase of growth more secure, competitive and future-ready.

How vulnerable is India’s growth model to external shocks – and where are the biggest fault lines that need to be strengthened?
Can India turn global supply-chain realignment, trade tensions, and geopolitical fragmentation into an opportunity to deepen manufacturing, exports, and domestic capabilities?
What are the critical policy and business choices India must make now to build resilience without sacrificing growth, competitiveness, or openness to the world?
