Session III: #IndiaInDecadeofthe20s - Panel Discussion: Future of Consumption in Fast-Growth Consumer Markets like India

There are many ways of looking at India. One, it’s amongst the very few fast-growing large economies; two, as a country of 1.2 billion people where 65% of the population is less than 35 years of age; or three, as having the third largest start-up ecosystem in the world. Finally, the digital capabilities of the nation and its storied success are now very well documented, leaving no ambiguity whatsoever about its future potential.

Growth in the consumer market is about meeting/exceeding aspirations, sustaining it in the long run & innovation is at the heart of this growth story. Simplistic, as it may sound, but it’s really a maze of opportunities that must be interwoven to give the complete picture. Hyper-personalization through data-led insights, supply chain efficiencies, smart pricing and ease of doing & setting up business are some of these threads. Given the breadth and depth of the market, their interconnectedness is very high. We have four incredible speakers from very different backgrounds to address this topic. E-commerce, Venture Capital, global management consultancy and hospitality are but windows through which we can view the paradigm of fast-paced innovation & consumer growth.
