| Horasis India Meeting 2020 |
The confirmed cases from Covid-19 continue to rise in India and elsewhere, creating dire economic and political challenges. At this critical moment, the Horasis India Meeting will take an in depth look at both the short-term and longer-term impact on the Indian economy. The Government of India and Indian business leaders need to proactively adapt to the challenges Covid-19 is presenting. Which economic sectors are most hit? How does the government combat the expected downturn in India, and with respect to its overseas activities?
During this first virtual Horasis meeting, delegates will receive high-level briefings from Ministers of the Government of India, Chief Ministers of Indian States and some of India’s best-known business leaders. Delegates will have the opportunity to interact with them to jointly develop solutions for dealing with the current crisis to help shape a durable and resilient economic system for India’s and the world’s post-Covid future.
It is not the time to allow inward-looking policies to prevail. Many good ideas in science, economics and in social welfare are being developed world-wide. The Indian government is working with its international partners to benefit from the the might of India’s commercial, technological and scientific capabilities so as to make them available in the international battle against the Covid-19 virus and its many ramifications.
