    While India fares poorly on a latest worldwide ‘Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index’, some progressive measures bode well for future improvement. India was recently ranked among the bottom 10 countries in a new worldwide index released on the commitment of different nations to reduce inequalities for its population.

      A senior executive delves into the work Anandana, the Coca-Cola India Foundation, is doing to help mitigate water scarcity in water-deficit areas all over India. We don’t have to circumnavigate the world to know what percentage of water exists as freshwater.

          India and Indian companies have a massive stake in the Brexit negotiations and their outcome. A long-awaited trade deal between the UK and India is still nowhere on the horizon, caught up in wrangles over immigration and market access. Should Indian companies plan for a scenario where they may have to deal with a Jeremy Corbyn led government? The United Kingdom is currently in the midst of what B-schools call scenario planning. If Brexit takes place with Deal A, then [...]

              A leading Opposition politician in the UK believes the Indian diaspora has a lot to offer post-Brexit Britain if only its value is fully utilised by the government.
