    I’m reminded of a famous line from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, which says: “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.”

    We are now riding such a tide. Global economic flux and political uncertainty means world leaders need to figure out new relationships, new opportunities and reset the rules of engagement for a more connected and less secure than before world, where unprecedented migration and the movement of people for safety or for work is leading to anxiety.

    These issues need to be...

          Let’s make the most of Brexit

          2018-05-18T13:05:19+00:00August 9th, 2016|2016, July/August 2016, Last Word, Year|

          ‘India Global Business’ calls out for government hand-holding to make the most of opportunities arising out of this seismic shift in the global order.

          A lot has been written on how Brexit will affect the Indian economy. But a disproportionate amount of attention has been paid on the impact on India’s domestic economy and its export prospects. Not enough has been spoken about how it could affect India Inc’s appetite for acquiring British and EU assets – both production facilities and brands – that could help domestic Indian companies ramp up their global presence.

            Will India-EU FTA slip further down priority list?

            2020-03-12T14:26:20+00:00August 9th, 2016|2016, India-EU, July/August 2016, Special Edition - November 2016, Trade Wars, Year|

            A free trade agreement between India and the European Union (EU) has already been nine years in the making and the pro-Brexit vote in the UK to exit the economic bloc is unlikely to come as a fillip.

            Negotiations for a free trade agreement (FTA) between India and the European Union (EU) have been in the works since 2007. Neither side has been willing to give up on key concerns. For India, these include easier access for its ...

              Indian companies are net job creators in the US

              2020-03-12T08:13:44+00:00August 9th, 2016|2016, India-US, July/August 2016, Year|

              Indian companies, far from being job destroyers in the US, are actually net employment generators, writes India Inc. Consulting Editor.

              Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump’s flip flops over H1B visas, which allow Indian IT pros to work in the US, show that large sections of the US are increasingly viewing protectionism as a panacea for its domestic economic problems, including joblessness, even as saner voices point to the positive contributions made by skilled migrants like Indian geeks.

                The Indian Prime Minister sought to set the tone right and put India-Africa relations on a fast track with his recent African safari.

                Narendra Modi’s five day four nation visit to Africa in July was his 51st visit to a foreign country since taking over and 11th this year. While his trips to US, Europe or China generate more newsprint and airwaves, his African safari is anything but less significant.
