The Wharton India Economic Forum will be held in Mumbai on January 9, the first time the event is being held outside the US, which the organisers said was aimed at celebrating 65 years of India’s independence and 20 years of liberalisation.
Among the confirmed speakers at the forum are Infosys Chairman, Mr K.V. Kamath, Piramal Enterprises Chairman, Mr Ajay Piramal, and former Temasek Holdings India Head, Mr Manish Kejriwal.
“The conference will bring together leaders from around the world to highlight India’s key strengths — from innovation and business to arts and culture, while opening up for debate the issues India must overcome to continue its upward trajectory and remain competitive in today’s global environment,” the Wharton India Economic Forum (WIEF) said in a statement today.
Panelists will participate in numerous panels on subjects including finance, infrastructure, entrepreneurship and consumer retail, it said.
WIEF is an annual student-run India-centric conference hosted by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Since its inception 16 years ago, WIEF is one of the largest and most prestigious India-focused business conferences and provides a platform for thought leaders to discuss the opportunities present in India and the challenges that need to be addressed.
