On Thursday, 1st October East London Export Club will be taking a stand to support “Doing business in India”. We probably all have perceptions of India, with images of the Taj Mahal uppermost and the lingering taste of curries and savouries washed down with Cobra beer! At least that was mine [many] years ago.
Fast forward and Bollywood (the Indian movie industry) is now a blockbuster phenomenon providing Billions USD to the Indian economy. India is the third largest economy with a large population second only to China. As the country has grown India’s middle class has also expanded, resulting in huge demands for good and services.
Who should attend?
Sponsored by Euromonitor International in partnership with City Business Library there will be presentations, followed by Q&A and networking afterwards. If you are a start-up, SME or interested in International trade, do come along to this event. Register here
