Indian economy has showed tremendous resilient to global setbacks and continues to grow at 7% annually. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi beckons the Diaspora to engage in an economic partnership with India, beyond the emotional engagement that is deep-rooted and time tested. Policies and procedures are evoking a positive response as the Diaspora looks beyond traditional real estate purchases to infrastructure development, technology and innovation driven entrepreneurship, health, tourism, textiles and other sectors that drive the government’s aggressive schemes of Swatch Bharat, Swasth Bharat, Make In India, StartUp India and more. This session engages Indian Minister and top bureaucrats with Diaspora leaders on walking the path of this paradigm shift. | ||
