Business Opportunities and Market Access for India – 8 Apr

India is the world’s second fastest growing economy. Home to more than 1.2 billion people, India is one of the most lucrative emerging markets today. Around 71% of the population is younger than age 35, providing opportunities to tap a young, vibrant emerging demographic that are technologically savvy. In terms of purchasing power, India is the world’s 4th largest economy and it could become the world’s fastest growing economy within the next few years.

This Friday, iAxil, Battle Ventures and MentorSquare present a talk on Business Opportunities and Market Access for India.

Ravi Narayan & S.K Guruprakash, veterans in the Indian market from MentorSquare, will address the opportunities and threats in the Indian Market, with special focus on:

Why is India a promising market?
Which sectors are hot and which ones are not?
How does a Singapore based company like yours break through the cultural differences and make full use of the India Opportunity?

India is a land of 30 states, 18 official languages and myriad cultures. Doing business here is very different from anywhere else in the world, and equally rewarding. The speakers from MentorSquare will guide the entrepreneurs in understanding the dynamics of accessing the Indian market, and forging partnerships with Indian referrals which are absolutely critical for your success in India.
