The forum’s theme - ‘Navigate through uncertainty - achieve sustainable growth’ - was broken down into three levels:

The forum opened with a keynote speech by Nitin Jaiswal, Head of Sales ASEAN at Bloomberg LP, analysing the current
economic situation of India and why the country is currently facing a ‘seven year itch’. Dr Paritosh Basu, Group Controller at Essar

- Business Analytics India/South Asia at IBM and Rejesh Shewani, Technical Sales Leader for the company in India and South
