I have been at the IndiaAdda run by the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF)<\/a><\/strong>, having conversations with Business leaders, Politicians and CEO’s from India and across the world on their perspectives on India and how they see her future. What has been impressive and uplifting has been the sheer optimism that I have heard here from various people across the board. And these are more than words, they are investment plans in India. I have been blogging about it here<\/strong> <\/a>– do read and let me know what you think. Among the conversations:<\/p>\n

Nick Talbot<\/a><\/strong>, Design Head of Tata Elexi on why he loves being in India and has such great optimism about the country.<\/p>\n

Kathaleen Matthews<\/a><\/strong>, Exec VP the Marriot Group, talked about why her company is setting up a 100 hotels in India – especially in second and third tiered cities & towns.<\/p>\n

 Baron Paul Buysse<\/a><\/strong> – has been visiting India for the last quarter of a century and loves the country, he talks about how a simplification of procedures will propel the country to the next level. You can hear the full conversation here<\/strong> <\/a>\ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dipak C.Jain<\/a><\/strong>, Dean Insead, spoke about how Brand India stands for Human talent. He sees a tremendous potential for quality higher education in India.<\/p>\n

 Rick Goings<\/a><\/strong> – Chairman & CEO of Tupperware – spoke about how his company is empowering women in India, setting up manufacturing base in India and why with half a billion middleclass, he is upbeat about his company’s prospects in India.<\/p>\n

and finally, Jyotiraditya Scindia<\/a><\/strong> – spoke about India and her skill base, and what his government is doing to ensure a pool of skilled talent<\/p>\n
