    ‘India Global Business’ caught up with India’s minister of state for External Affairs, M.J. Akbar, during a recent London visit to attend the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) meeting. The Commonwealth must become more people-centric and find ways of creating meaning for the citizens of the 52 member countries, India’s minister of state for external affairs M.J. Akbar believes. In his message at the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG), the minister also highlighted India's hope that the organisation will work towards increasing [...]

      A tech expert traces India’s journey from an outsourcing hub of the 1990s to an innovation destination of today. When I first became aware of the Indian tech sector in 1993, India would have been the least likely candidate to be named an innovation hub. Back then, and for many years, it was known more as a place where you could outsource your software development at low cost. Or in manufacturing, as the then secretary of department of electronics used [...]

        Commonwealth collaboration: An opportunity we dare not miss

        2018-06-11T13:49:53+00:00April 10th, 2017|2017/2018, April 2017, Commonwealth, Year|

        India holds the key to taking the Commonwealth lead in sustainable solutions for development. We face an immense global challenge of developing sustainably. We know climate change already contributes to migration and conflict. Some Commonwealth countries are unable to generate the economic growth they badly need to become more resilient. In contrast, India has developed successfully into the world’s seventh largest economy, and third largest by purchasing power parity, hence increasingly a world leader in economic growth. Yet even India [...]

          A renaissance of India-South Africa ties

          India is a crucial partner for South Africa’s economy which offers enormous trade and investment opportunities, writes an expert from the region. South Africa and India relations are enjoying an unprecedented renaissance, founded on shared economic interests and longstanding historical ties since the latter lifted economic sanctions against South Africa after the end of apartheid. Both countries are major players in the global economy and share a common vision of shaping the development agenda through multilateral engagements such as the [...]

            Scotland vies for Indian investments

            2018-10-30T12:28:05+00:00April 10th, 2017|2017/2018, April 2017, Hotspot, HOTSPOT, Special Edition – May 2017, Year|

            The northern part of the United Kingdom is making a strong case for Indian businesses to choose Scotland as a base for their UK expansion plans. Scotland’s people are famous for the warmth of their welcome. Home to just over five million people, it is estimated that for every person living in Scotland, another five people living across the world have Scottish ancestry. With such close and extensive connections to every corner of the world, it is no wonder that [...]

              India must share leadership of the Commonwealth

              2020-03-16T13:22:14+00:00April 10th, 2017|2017/2018, April 2017, Commonwealth, COMMONWEALTH, Special Edition – May 2017, Year|

              It is time for the Commonwealth to introspect on its role for the 21st century and look at adding new members and acquiring a sharper financial focus. As a British citizen of Indian origin born in Uganda, I enjoy a triple connection with the Commonwealth. I was therefore drawn towards speaking in a recent debate on the Commonwealth in the House of Lords — almost like a magnetic field. The focus of my remarks was on two themes. Firstly, the [...]
