New government, new policies: But can India deliver?

Fresh from winning more votes than any other politician in world history, Narendra Modi has a strong mandate to transform India. Whilst expectations and the stakes are sky-high, the new prime minister’s first 12 months suggest that he will seek to govern in a way that encourages economic growth, job creation and better infrastructure. Can Modi turn his mantras – “less government and more governance” and “no red tape, only red carpet” in to action ? The outcome will be crucial for voters, the business community and India’s place on the world stage. +91 Europe is proud to present the most significant India Summit of 2015, to take stock of how the new government, its policies, and different sectors of India’s economy are performing. We will discuss what it will take for the economy to hit top gear again, and how the UK, Europe and America can benefit.
