Synergies between Government and Industry – Emerging Markets Club

As the Indian economic boom enters a phase of consolidation with issues of business leadership becoming more pronounced, corporate India needs to acknowledge the forces that have made a significant contribution to leadership and governance. The new breed of Indian entrepreneurs has gained tremendously from its pioneering predecessors both in the art of effectively dealing with challenges and in maintaining the momentum of unprecedented growth. However, this paradigm shift in economic growth has brought about an uneasy tension between the bureaucrats and corporate India.

Common perception states that there is diminishing trust in India’s political leadership with a growing disdain towards the inertia it embodies, while all eyes are upon Indian corporate gurus to pave the way towards sustainable growth and economic prosperity. This leads us to the question - has the growth of India Inc been achieved in spite of the government or because of it? However, we know that societal obligations and the quest for capitalism demand that corporate India continuously interact with economic policy makers to ensure that the reform process continues at its current pace. Is this uneasy alliance between the two really a cause of concern, and if it is, how can new-India overcome this ‘obstacle’?
