India Business & Trade Annual Conclave 2023
2023-05-23
Trade Promotion Council of India is pleased to announce the launch of the inaugural edition of India Business & Trade Annual Conclave 2023 (IBTC) in collaboration with NITI Aayog and Directorate General Foreign Trade (DGFT), scheduled for May 23 at ITC Maurya, New Delhi.
The theme of the inaugural IBTC will be India @2030: Decoding FTP 2023 & Blueprint for a $2 trillion export economy.
IBTC is a pioneering initiative conceptualized by TPCI to enable holistic cross-stakeholder deliberations on taking India to the forefront of international trade.
For the first time, on the request of industry members, Hon’ble DGFT Santosh Sarangi, IAS will grace the event as Keynote Speaker and engage intensively with industry members. The esteemed panel for these discussions will comprise a cross-section of thought leaders from across policy, academia and industry.
Overview
The Government of India released its latest Foreign Trade Policy 2023 on March 31, announcing a series of important measures to catalyse India’s foreign trade. FTP 2023 has expressed an ambitious vision to expand India’s total exports to US$ 2 trillion in less than a decade.

FTP 2023 charts a radical course for India’s trade policy roadmap going forward, particularly as it comes without an end date unlike its predecessors. This indicates a progressive and flexible policy approach going forward. Moreover, the policy has placed far greater emphasis on facilitators and drivers to boost India’s competitiveness, instead of relying on trade incentives (also because export incentives have been deemed incompatible with India’s WTO commitments).
The key approach to the policy, as described by the government, is based on four pillars.
• Incentives to remission
• Export promotion through collaboration- exporters, states, districts and Indian missions
• Ease of doing business in transaction cost and e-initiatives
• Emerging areas including E-commerce, developing districts as export hubs and streamlining SCOMET policy.
Progressive policy measures and consistent efforts of the industry have led to robust growth in India’s exports over the years. Defying global economic uncertainty, India’s overall exports in 2022-23 are estimated to have reached a new high, increasing by 13.84% YoY to US$ 770 billion. From CY 2016 to CY 2022, India’s exports have grown by 55.4% compared to 28% for global exports. Sectors like engineering goods, agri products, pharma, electronic goods marine products and toys have seen strong growth.
Topics covered under IBTC 2023
Which sectors and markets will account for India’s export growth as it charts its course towards the vision of US$ 2 trillion exports? How will domestic policy interventions and international trade diplomacy play a catalytic role in this progress? How will India’s export performance be impacted by the evolving geopolitical climate and policy orientations of major trade partners?
The inaugural edition of IBTC 2023 will explore answers to all this and more. Join us for a day of intense power packed discussions and knowledge exchange on the road ahead for India’s trade policy.

Webinar on Winning Brand Strategies for Global Markets
2023-03-01 15:00 - 2023-04-01 17:00 (Asia/Kolkata)
Trade Promotion Council of India is organizing a webinar on Winning Brand Strategies for Global Markets on March 1, 2023 at 3:00 pm. The discussion will centre on the role of branding in international expansion and provide practical strategies for exporters to leverage branding in their international success.
While branding is one of the most important elements of an organization’s performance, it is also among the most misunderstood. A brand is much more than the logo and colours in the name. It is a representation of the holistic identity of an organization and what it promises its customers. And in a consistently volatile market, it is arguably the ultimate insurance against obsolescence and failure.
While it was once felt that branding has relevance largely for B2C business models, experts have highlighted its increasing relevance in the B2B space. With digital platforms being the first point of contact for instance for information, having a strong digital presence has become undeniably critical. Branding helps build connect with customers, and establish trust for the company’s products and services.
The cross-disciplinary panelists will discuss:

Changes in the international business landscape
Growing relevance of branding
Importance of nation/sectoral branding in the success of a company
Practical strategies for Indian companies to build global brands.
How MSMEs can leverage branding strategies to stay ahead in a highly competitive market

The panel for the session will have a mix of experts from academia, industry and brand consulting space:

Dr Vivek Suneja, Head & Dean, North Campus, University of Delhi and Member, Committee for Advanced Trade Research, TPCI
Sonam Kasera, CEO, Kamrup Tea Company
Asha Sampath, Founder, Brand Horizon
Madhumita Sarkar Guha, Founder & CEO, Luxe Living
Rajendra Prasad Sharma, Professor & Head MDP Division, IIFT, Kolkata and Member, Committee for Advanced Trade Research, TPCI

The webinar will be moderated by Virat Bahri, Deputy Director, TPCI.

Webinar on the Future of Cryptocurrency in India
2022-03-09 15:00 - 16:30
Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI), will be organizing a webinar on The Future of Cryptocurrency in India on 9th March 2022 (Wednesday), 3:00 pm. The panelists will deliberate upon the growth of cryptocurrency in India and the implications of policy mechanisms being devised to regulate this sector.

Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI), will be organizing a webinar on The Future of Cryptocurrency in India on 9th March 2022 (Wednesday), 3:00 pm. The panelists from industry and academia will discuss the growth of cryptocurrency in India and the implications of policy mechanisms being devised to regulate this sector.
Experts believe that cryptocurrencies are intended to revolutionize finance and have the potential to play a critical role in how finance pans out in the future. These borderless transactions have, of late, become very popular all over the world, with India being among the top countries as far as cryptocurrency market is concerned. One of the reasons for this is that cryptocurrencies and other crypto products (like non-fungible tokens or NFTs) entail decentralized finance.
Given the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies in India, the government is working on the ‘Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill’. What makes this even more interesting is that the proposed bill also seeks to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India (with some exceptions) and introduce an official digital currency to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India. Another recent development is that while India has decided to not recognise bitcoin as a legal tender, the 2022-23 Union Budget has proposed to impose a 30% tax on gains made on such trades, besides subjecting crypto transactions beyond a threshold to 1% TDS.
In context of the ongoing debate on whether crypto currency is a boon or a bane, this webinar analyses the implications of cryptocurrency for businesses & the economy and the possible contours that cryptocurrency regulation should now take.
The focus topics for the webinar are:
● The factors driving cryptocurrency’s global adoption
● Implications of cryptocurrency for businesses
● Why does cryptocurrency need to be regulated & what is the crypto bill?
● Industry’s take on the budget proposition of imposing tax on gains from crypto transactions
● India having an official digital currency and its implications
The speakers for the session are as follows:
● Sumit Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO, CoinDCX
● Dr Sushmita Ruj, Senior Lecturer, School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney
● Sanchit Vijay, Partner – Deals & Valuations, Corporate Professionals
● Dr Suranjali Tandon, Assistant Professor, National Institute of Public Finance and Policy

Webinar on Cross border e-commerce: Catalyst for $1-tn exports?
2021-12-01 15:00 - 17:00
Trade Promotion Council of India is organising a webinar on Cross border e-commerce: Catalyst for $1-tn exports? on December 1 at 3:00 pm. The webinar will focus on the growing trend of cross border e-commerce, India’s current penetration and potential in the area and how exporters can leverage this exciting trend to ramp up their international footprint.

According to Zion Market Research, global cross-border B2C e-commerce market earned revenue worth US$ 562.1 billion in 2018 and is predicted to reach US$ 4,195.4 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of nearly 28.4% during 2020-2027. Growing internet penetration, increased propensity for e-commerce, secure payment options and the rise in globalisation is fuelling this market and opening up myriad opportunities for sellers.

E-commerce is likely to be the fastest-growing segment in retail in India in the coming 5-10 years as growing its share of total retail from 3% to 10-15%. E-commerce is likely to play a larger role in India’s cross border trade and business. India crossed US$ 1 billion in exports for cross border e-commerce in 2020. Categories like handicrafts, home and linen, bedsheets, curtains, upholstery and apparel enjoy strong demand abroad. Amazon has been a frontrunner in leveraging this model with the launch of its service to allow sellers on its platform to sell to US and UK customers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated a drastic shift in consumer behaviour in favour of online channels. Even as consumers are opening up to cross-border online shopping, companies are looking at strategies that can help them leverage this medium more effectively. SMEs get a vital route to expand internationally and even OEMs can bypass long channels to directly reach customers. Over 50% of customers used D2C for buying consumable or durable products during COVID pandemic.

On the other hand, companies have to tackle multiple challenges including lack of knowledge about regional tax regulations, compliance, data protection laws, payment and return related issues, returns, and import/export legislations. Customers cite issues such as high prices, delayed deliveries, low trust in terms of quality, etc.

The webinar aims to enlighten exporters on the dynamics of cross border e-commerce and the strategies that can help them leverage this trend.

Following is the list of esteemed panellists for the session:
● Dr K Rangarajan, Centre Head & Professor, IIFT, Kolkata Campus
● Rajat Wahi, Partner, Deloitte India
● Venkat Nott, Founder & CEO, Vinculum
● Deep Bajaj, Founder & CEO, Sirona Hygiene Pvt Ltd
The session will be moderated by Virat Bahri, Deputy Director, Trade Promotion Council of India and Editor, India Business & Trade

Takeaways from the webinar
● Product/market opportunities in cross-border e-commerce for Indian brands, particularly SMEs.
● Payment-related issues, regulatory challenges like data protection, export controls, etc. across markets
● Policy and regulatory interventions needed to propel cross-border e-commerce in India
● Online channel strategy and how to build a direct-2-consumer (D2C) channel for cross-border e-commerce.
● Opportunities, practical problems and solutions, while promoting your brand across markets
● Technology interventions that could propel the growth of this sector in the coming future.
