Averred Aroop Zutshi, Global President & Managing Partner, Frost & Sullivan, “We need to adopt innovative ways to revolutionise business models and strengthen the scope of a company’s growth in the future.” Drawing a global network of innovative thinkers, industry experts and thought leaders as participants to the summit, the summit called upon the stakeholders to embrace innovation for addressing global challenges. As a platform to help the industry stakeholders to grow and thrive, the event brewed new ideas and fresh perspectives. It sought to chalk out a roadmap for Indian businesses to 2030. Contrary to the previous edition delving on growth drivers amidst disruptive trends, the 2019 edition instead stressed on the need for sustenance for growth. Explained Zutshi, “So that means you need to have a better process in place, you have to better understand components that are driving this change so that you can understand and prepare based on those changes.” “So this event is very different from that perspective,” he quipped.
