    2020-08-20T06:58:55+00:00November 22nd, 2019|India Inc News|

    The first-ever India Inc. survey of voter intentions confirms the obvious dealignment of British Indians from the UK’s Labour Party; what is less obvious is where these votes will finally go, writes India Inc. Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa. Winston Churchill famously described politics as the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year; and then to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen. The landmark India Inc. Optimus [...]

      2020-08-20T06:59:00+00:00November 15th, 2019|2019, North America Edition – 15 November 2019, UK Edition – 15 November 2019|

      The recent WhatsApp controversy and the Indian government’s reaction highlights that India aspires to be a rule maker not a rule taker in this new high-stakes game, writes India Inc. Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa. Highlights: The hacking of WhatsApp via the Pegasus software has raised concerns on data security. There is an overwhelming need to handle data responsibly. India has been at the forefront of the global campaign to create a responsible environment for data security and storage. As [...]

        RCEP lessons: India must reform faster to become more competitive

        2020-08-20T07:01:21+00:00November 8th, 2019|India Inc News|

        India’s withdrawal from the RCEP trade pact indicates that it remains open for business on its own terms and is also an acceptance that reforms must carry on at pace, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Unanimity and consensus are difficult to achieve in India but Prime Minister Modi’s decision to pull out of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) deal has been welcomed by almost all stakeholders – political parties, businesses and farmers associations. For me, this [...]

          India’s water woes – need for global partnerships and investment

          2020-08-20T07:01:15+00:00November 1st, 2019|India Inc News|

          India accounts for 18 per cent of the world's population but only has 4 per cent of the globe’s usable water sources. There is an urgent need for world class technologies, partnerships and investment, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Of all the political and economic fault lines that crisscross India, water is arguably among the oldest and most important, albeit least discussed issue. Perhaps details of river water sharing formulae are considered too arcane or maybe India’s [...]

            5 ways India can attract companies moving out of China

            2020-08-20T07:01:11+00:00October 24th, 2019|2019, North America Edition – 25th October 2019, UK Edition – 25th October 2019|

            India Inc. Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa outlines five ways in which India can attract companies looking for alternative markets to China. Soon after cutting corporate tax rates last month, India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman explained that the move would help shed some light on what foreign companies were looking for when setting up manufacturing plants in India. A few days ago, she was explicit, saying that the Indian government will soon prepare a plan to woo multinational companies looking [...]

              Battleground India: The next frontier in online streaming

              2020-08-20T06:59:14+00:00October 19th, 2019|India Inc News|

              India presents the next frontier in online streaming, opening up multiple possibilities for global players, writes India Inc. Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa. Boris Johnson looks to be on the verge of pulling off his Herculean mission of passing the Brexit deal with the EU, but I am going to resist commenting on it just yet. Instead, there is another Herculean transformation happening in India, which merits a closer look.  Remember the early 2000s when mobile phones began gaining popularity [...]

                Modi-Xi offsite holds lessons for other powers

                2020-08-20T06:59:22+00:00October 11th, 2019|2019, North America Edition – 11th October 2019, UK Edition – 11th October 2019|

                The two neighbouring powers – not inimical to each other but not quite on the same page on most issues either – have thankfully found a way of discussing their bilateral issues, warts and all.  This is a lesson that other powers could also learn from, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. You’ve heard of corporate offsites, where company bigwigs travel to exotic destinations to discuss strategies and iron out issues in an informal setting. Well, Indian Prime [...]

                  UK’s Labour Party is recklessly out of sync with New India

                  2020-08-20T06:59:27+00:00September 27th, 2019|2019, North America Edition – 27th September 2019, UK Edition – 27th September 2019|

                  Labour’s politics is terribly and recklessly out of sync with Britain’s business and wider strategic interests in aligning with democratic India; the US Democrats would do well to take note, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. The Labour Party has historically enjoyed good relations with India and its 1.5-million strong diaspora community in the UK. The overwhelming majority of British Indians have traditionally voted for Labour. It has long been felt that the Labour Party has best represented [...]

                    Sitharaman wields the tax axe

                    2020-08-20T06:59:28+00:00September 25th, 2019|2019, North America Edition – 27th September 2019, UK Edition – 27th September 2019|

                    By dramatically slashing corporate taxes, India’s gritty Finance Minister has given a big boost to India’s private sector and brings the country closer to becoming a low-tax, high-efficiency economy that the Modi government aspires for, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. The recent cuts in corporate tax and minimum alternative tax rates by Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will provide a much-needed stimulus for companies in India. It may well also help the country attract companies that are [...]

                      US, India must not lose sight of the bigger picture

                      The India-US partnership must succeed for the emergence of a new rules-based global order, writes India Inc. Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa. The US India Strategic and Partnership Forum (USISPF), a non-profit advocacy group comprising leading corporate figures from the two countries, has projected that bilateral trade between India and the US could rise sharply to $238 billion by 2025 from the current level of $143 billion. The USISPF’s US India Bilateral Trade Report projects bilateral trade to grow 7.5 [...]
