About The Event
While the FY23 Union Budget targeted a path of strong economic growth, many external factors are putting extra stress on business margins, at a time when the world is also still trying to exit the pandemic. From rising crude prices to global inflation, and geopolitical uncertainty to supply chain disruptions, it is clear that several headwinds, on top of an increasingly hawkish federal reserve, need careful monitoring and management in the months ahead.

In order to help organisations navigate through these trying times, Forbes India has partnered with Barclays Private Clients, India to launch a brand-new collaboration that explores ‘India’s Growth Drivers’. We’ll be discussing and analysing the business strategies available for navigating macro pressures and fiscal challenges, as businesses try to survive and thrive in this unique period of global economic uncertainty.

getting SMBs on the path to recovery
When the world was first struggling with waves of Covid-19, India’s start-up scene exploded into life, fueled by the rapid digitisation of life-under-lockdown. With 42 unicorns created in 2021 alone, and one new unicorn every 5 days in Jan-Feb 2022, India is truly the unicorn capital of the world. Now is the time to re-set and re-invent the entire ecosystem so that these unicorns not only thrive, but also play a crucial role in helping India’s post-pandemic economy to sustain a successful hybrid working model. In this panel discussion, eminent industry leaders will discuss India’s rapid ‘unicornisation’ and the building of a new age economy which can simultaneously deliver across economic, social and sustainable fronts.

around succession planning for Business Families
The pandemic brought to fore the risks of improper succession planning by Indian Business Families. So far, the succession planning process remains ambiguous in the scheme of things of most Indian family businesses. As business passes from one generation to another, legal battles are bound to be the natural outcome of differing opinions and ego hassles. Families with complex wealth must set a collective vision for the future with a shared sense of core values towards wealth creation, saving, spending, and giving. In this panel discussion, eminent industry leaders will discuss the challenges faced by experts and how can they help families alleviate the impact of unanticipated events on businesses.
