    Given the recent furore over data privacy, new Indian data protection laws should set the standards for the rest of the world, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Even as Indian politicians engage in a no-holds-barred fight over security of personal data in the custody of the government and political parties, a far more serious discussion is underway – away from the arc lights – on ensuring and enhancing the security of private data in India. The political [...]

          India and the UK are increasingly aligned on the Commonwealth’s potential to provide an impetus to trade and investment, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Tennis legend Billie Jean King famously said: “Create your legacy, then pass on the baton”. As the 25th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) draws closer, there is anticipation that an initiative taken to bring trade and investment to the forefront of the grouping’s concerns may, in the years to come, see the [...]

            The Indian Diaspora: The UK’s unused weapon post-Brexit

            2018-05-22T14:21:20+00:00March 26th, 2018|2017/2018, Eye on Brexit, UK Edition- April 2018, Year|

            Not tapping into the British Indian diaspora, which serves both India and the UK so well, is a missed opportunity. We often hear of the rich contribution made to the UK by the Indian diaspora, and of the long-standing special relationship between the two countries that has spanned centuries. According to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Asian businesses generate around 10 per cent of the UK’s GDP, whilst Asians only constitute 6 per cent of the population. Furthermore, these [...]

              Can France become India’s all-weather friend?

              2018-05-18T13:02:18+00:00March 26th, 2018|2017/2018, Country Focus, Home Page, UK Edition- April 2018, Year|

              India and France have several common strategic objectives and very few, if any, disagreements on major global issues. India also needs powerful friends to prevent its creeping encirclement in its backyard and France needs a reliable ally in the Indo-Pacific, where it has many economic and strategic interests. IGB takes a 360-degree look at this very important but low-profile relationship. Strange things are happening in India’s neighbourhood and in the wider Indo-Pacific theatre. China has stepped up its muscle flexing [...]

                An interview with Nandita Parshad, Managing Director, Energy and Natural Resources, at London-headquartered European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

                  India will be integral to Commonwealth future growth

                  2020-03-16T13:22:53+00:00March 22nd, 2018|2017/2018, Commonwealth, UK Edition- April 2018, Year|

                  If the Commonwealth were to expand its remit, led by India, areas such as security and counter-terrorism could be strengthened. India’s approach to the regional groupings of which it is a member is self-evidently instrumentalist. With limited resources each of the organisations or groups which India promotes serve a particular economic, political or cultural purpose. Thus, IBSA (comprising India, Brazil and South Africa) comprises a group of like-minded, Southern democracies, useful to align approaches in fora such as the UN. [...]
