The 24th India Economic Summit, a regional event of the World Economic Forum, took place in New Delhi on 16-18 November. In unprecedented times in the global economy, as markets continue to evolve in the midst of financial crisis, many emerging markets such as India continue to strategize and uncover new opportunities for growth.

Under the theme “Securing India’s Future Growth,” the summit explored the current economic, social, and political environment in India, delving into such hot topics as globalization and growth after the fall out and managing the skills shortage in India after the “Brain Drain”. The event placed particular emphasis on the direct impact on the India economy of the record setting energy and commodity prices.

Along with more than 500 industry leaders and policymakers from around the world, a delegation of senior Deloitte partners and leaders also participated in the summit. The Deloitte delegation included:

• Jim Quigley, Global Chief Executive Officer, DTT
• Chaly Mah, Chief Executive Officer, Deloitte Asia Pacific
• Udayan Sen, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner, Deloitte India
• Bob Go, Global Industries Leader, DTT
• Atul Dhawan, Partner, National Leader Clients and Markets, Deloitte India
• Roopen Roy, Managing Director, Deloitte India

Serving as official strategic partner to the summit, Deloitte contributed its perspectives during several sessions. Specifically, Summit co-chairperson and Deloitte Global CEO, Jim Quigley, led discussions on global growth and managing talent in difficult economic times.

Deloitte’s involvement with the India Economic Summit underscores its strategic commitment to the Asia Pacific region and more specifically India—a country which has experienced tremendous growth and is well positioned to for further development.
