New markets and trends driving India’s global aspirations
India, though one of the fastest growing economies in the world, still has a long way to go before it fulfils its true potential. It is adapting to newer markets, technological opportunities and is evolving in the way it handles its relations with strategic partners such as the UK. How can India truly harness its strenghts and opportunities? Is this a big-bang moment for India on the world stage? How can the UK remain relevant in this journey?In Conversation With

Is it time to put limits on innovation?
Does increased automation present a threat to job creation or does it provide unexplored opportunities? Automation is changing the nature of more and more jobs, with work stations becoming remote and skill requirements changing at rapid speed. How do businesses prepare for the future? What skills does a future workforce need to integrate in order to keep up with this seismic change? Or is it time to put on the brakes?Keynote

Decoding the Fourth Industrial Revolution
UK innovators are leading the charge on some of the key components of the so-called ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ involving the Cloud, the Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence. While India has reaped benefits from the third Industrial Revolution (digital technology), it is still significantly agrarian, with manufacturing output relatively low as a percentage of GDP. What are the areas where India needs to take a quantum leap? How can a close partnership with countries like the UK help?Keynote

Leveraging an untapped global influence
There are more than 30 million people of Indian origin living in virtually every country outside of India. Representing a diverse geographical spread and skill set, more and more members of the Indian diaspora are keen to contribute to India’s growth story. Can the Indian Diaspora go beyond cheering at Wembley Stadium and hold the key to leveraging India’s soft power across the world? How do countries like the UK, which is home to over 1.5 million British Indians, respond and engage?Keynote

Special Address
Brand India is addressing old challenges and exploring new opportunities. A slew of difficult, but much needed reforms, which have helped break some shackles of legacy laws and red tape, have set the Indian economy on an upward trajectory. The participants in this session are driving big bets on India in their respective ways. What has driven their decision making in the last few years? What do they think will sustain global investor interest in the Indian economy? What are their predictions for the Indian economy in the next two to three decades?

Making it big in the age of disruption
Success of the so called “Unicorns” in India has made start-ups a household name. The average time taken by start-ups to reach the $1 billion club in India is five to seven years, second only to China where it is four to six years. The technology sector in India saw the creation of eight Unicorns in 2018 alone. What aspirations does an India born Unicorn have? Is it global growth or domestic domination? Where will the next wave of Unicorns come from?

The coming of age of India’s financial sector
The Indian financial sector is going through upheaval. It is getting integrated with global finance like never before. Indian companies increasingly look towards global sources of capital. At the same time, Indian firms are seeking to compete globally in FinTech innovation and global business banking. What are businesses demanding from financial institutions in order to compete effectively? What are the experiences faced by global financial firms when they dip their toes into the Indian market? What more must the Indian Government do to encourage investment into India?

Technology has played a pivotal factor in building the bridge between the UK and India. The UK-India Tech Partnership, which was set up by the two Prime Ministers in 2018, provided a fillip to this activity. How can the UK and India push this relationship to lead on tech? What will be the next frontier in tech for these two nations.

India, UK, and the Commonwealth
The UK, India, and Africa present a compelling trilateral relationship towards achieving the SDGs. The SDG agenda is a saga of transformations within India and the countries of Africa, along with the relationships they forge with traditional development actors like the UK. New and robust collaborations between these three partners could help create nimble institutional frameworks for the delivery of development projects, examination of their effectiveness, and promotion of transparency and accountability. This afternoon session will interrogate the role of relevant actors, priority sectors, capacities and capabilities, and individual efforts that can contribute to this critical 21st century agenda.
