Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa. Most Indians don’t know much about Australia barring its history of producing top class cricketers.

2018-08-01T12:51:33+00:00October 27th, 2017|2017/2018, COVER FEATURE, October 2017, Year|

Steadfast support from the public at large is likely to see Adani's $16.1-billion mining project, India’s largest outbound FDI, through the hurdles. There appears to be some sort of jinx revolving around projects carrying the twin labels of “largest FDI” and “India." Remember Dabhol? The power project by the now bankrupt US company Enron in Maharashtra was the largest inward foreign direct investment (FDI) project at the time. After several false starts, it is finally limping along as the Ratnagiri [...]

A country-specific export strategy could turn the tide in India’s favour in the sector, explains an industry expert.

Bangladesh surpassed India in apparel exports in 2008 and Vietnam in 2012 as can be seen from the chart below and their apparel exports have been consistently growing and have been higher than India’s exports throughout.
