World Economic Forum on India


World Economic Forum on India

The first World Economic Forum (WEF) on India will take place from November 6-8, in Gurgaon, Haryana.

Over 600 participants from 40 nations, including heads of state, will take part in this event, themed ‘From Deliberation to Transformation.’

The panellists will deliberate on issues related to economic growth, governance, corruption, among others.

The Forum intends to find ways to concentrate on three core areas that are crucial for India, to restore growth. The three questions which will be addressed are: how to redress the risks India faces; how to best recognize and develop its human capital; and how to fulfil India’s future promise.

“Increasing predictability and complexity in global markets as well as in India, signal the urgency for moving from deliberation to dialogue and decision-making,” said Sushant Palakurthi Rao, Asia Head and Senior Director of the WEF.

Gateway House’s Executive Director, Manjeet Kripalani, will be on the panel of a discussion titled, ‘Inclusive Governance: Enabling Capability, Disabling Resistance,’ on Wednesday, November 7.
