    Donald Trump and his fellow travellers in Europe are doing their countries a disservice by recklessly pulling up the drawbridge on immigration, writes India Inc. CEO Manoj Ladwa. Everyone knows that whenever their fortresses and castles came under siege, kings of old would pass the order to pull up the drawbridges and every able man would take up position to repel the invaders. And most of you will be familiar with the story of Don Quixote, the fictional medieval Spanish [...]

      Outbound FDI from India will increasingly be driven by a need to fill knowledge and product gaps aimed at the domestic market. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has greased the wheels of the investment cycle with allocations of almost $90 billion for building roads, railway infrastructure, inland waterways, ports, airports and rural infrastructure for 2017-18. This massive public spending spree, marking a humungous increase over the figures for the current year, is expected to translate into large contracts for Indian and [...]

        Exercise at the work place is an interesting subject because obviously one should be working when at the desk as opposed to doing lunges, hanging off the desk performing tricep exercises, stretching, bending and conducting all manner of cubical calisthenics. It’s just not very normal, is it?

          India Inc. has envisioned its first-ever Go Global Expo & Conference 2017 as a hub for Indian companies on a decisive global expansion march as well as new start-ups ready for the leap. Here ‘India Global Business’ delves into the high-profile launch of the event in New Delhi.

          There was a time barely two centuries ago, when India accounted for 21 per cent of global trade and Great Britain barely 1 per cent. At the height of the British Empire, this relative ratio had been turned on its head, with the United Kingdom as the most dominant trading nation in the world with more than a one-fifth share of world trade and India reduced to a peripheral player with only a 1 per cent share.

              Is India really Donald Trump’s ‘true friend’?

              There are not too many countries towards whom the new United States President, Donald Trump, has shown a consistently friendly demeanour. India is one of them. As Trump told Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his most recent phone conversation to New Delhi, he saw India as a “true friend”. India is seen, strategically, as a kindred spirit by President Trump and his team. However, the indications are that no country will receive a free pass when it comes to Trump’s [...]

                  India and Vietnam: Pushing back the dragon

                  The comprehensive strategic partnership between New Delhi and Hanoi is playing an important role in ensuring balance of power in Asia

                  Rarely, if ever, does India weigh heavily on the minds of foreign leaders when they meet their counterparts from third countries. But when Chinese President Xi Jinping recently met Communist Party of Vietnam’s General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in Beijing, seasoned observers could sense that New Delhi was the invisible elephant in the room.

                    India and China: It’s complicated

                    An assertive China presents Prime Minister Modi with his most intractable foreign policy challenge, but there are indications that Beijing may be getting a little edgy. Mahatma Gandhi had said of his adversaries: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” Much to the chagrin of many in New Delhi’s policy circles who saw India as a counterweight to China, Beijing has, at least publicly, refused to treat India as an equal.
