SUMMARY:Webinar on the Future of Cryptocurrency in India
DESCRIPTION: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. \n  \nTrade 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. \nExperts 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. \nGiven 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. \nIn 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. \nThe focus topics for the webinar are: \n● The factors driving cryptocurrency’s global adoption \n● Implications of cryptocurrency for businesses \n● Why does cryptocurrency need to be regulated & what is the crypto bill? \n● Industry’s take on the budget proposition of imposing tax on gains from crypto transactions \n● India having an official digital currency and its implications \nThe speakers for the session are as follows: \n● Sumit Gupta\, Co-Founder and CEO\, CoinDCX \n● Dr Sushmita Ruj\, Senior Lecturer\, School of Computer Science and Engineering\, University of New South Wales\, Sydney \n● Sanchit Vijay\, Partner – Deals & Valuations\, Corporate Professionals \n● Dr Suranjali Tandon\, Assistant Professor\, National Institute of Public Finance and Policy \nTo register for the session\, click \n https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_usTGlV-HSMKhNLOUscHV6g \nFor further details\, contact Nikhaar Gogna at editorial@tpci.in

SUMMARY:Webinar on Cross border e-commerce: Catalyst for $1-tn exports?
DESCRIPTION:Trade Promotion Council of India is organising a webinar on Cross border e-commerce: Catalyst for $1-tn exports? on December 1 at 3:00 pm. The webinar will focus on the growing trend of cross border e-commerce\, India’s current penetration and potential in the area and how exporters can leverage this exciting trend to ramp up their international footprint. \n  \nAccording to Zion Market Research\, global cross-border B2C e-commerce market earned revenue worth US$ 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. \n  \nE-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. \n  \nThe 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. \n  \nOn 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. \n  \nThe webinar aims to enlighten exporters on the dynamics of cross border e-commerce and the strategies that can help them leverage this trend. \n  \nFollowing is the list of esteemed panellists for the session:\n● Dr K Rangarajan\, Centre Head & Professor\, IIFT\, Kolkata Campus \n● Rajat Wahi\, Partner\, Deloitte India \n● Venkat Nott\, Founder & CEO\, Vinculum \n● Deep Bajaj\, Founder & CEO\, Sirona Hygiene Pvt Ltd \nThe session will be moderated by Virat Bahri\, Deputy Director\, Trade Promotion Council of India and Editor\, India Business & Trade \n  \nTakeaways from the webinar\n● Product/market opportunities in cross-border e-commerce for Indian brands\, particularly SMEs. \n● Payment-related issues\, regulatory challenges like data protection\, export controls\, etc. across markets \n● Policy and regulatory interventions needed to propel cross-border e-commerce in India \n● Online channel strategy and how to build a direct-2-consumer (D2C) channel for cross-border e-commerce. \n● Opportunities\, practical problems and solutions\, while promoting your brand across markets \n● Technology interventions that could propel the growth of this sector in the coming future. \n  \nTo register for the session\, click https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7JWBWRosStKtP8RTSBrhSA.

SUMMARY:Hydrogen: The key to a carbon free future?
DESCRIPTION:Trade Promotion Council of India is organising an interactive webinar on “Hydrogen: The key to a carbon free future?” organized by the Trade Promotion Council of India on Thursday\, October 28\, 2021 at 3:00 pm IST. \n  \nClimate change is inevitably one of the most perilous man made challenges of the 21st century\, with expectations of a severe economic fallout. For example\, frequent cyclones will hamper global shipping\, while the rise in sea levels will have an adverse impact on marine ecology; thereby hurting seafood exports. The Swiss Re Institute warns that if global temperatures rise by 3.2°C\, it could dent 18% of GDP of the global economy. \n  \nTo combat climate change\, countries across the world are exploring various forms of renewable energy. Green hydrogen (produced using renewable energy) and blue hydrogen (made from natural gas) are regarded as the latest arsenal in this global fight. \n  \nReckoned as the most abundant element in nature\, hydrogen has multifarious applications – ranging from transportation and marine sectors to refineries of petroleum and the steel and fertiliser industries. In case of India\, according to an estimate by TERI\, demand for hydrogen in India is expected to increase 3-10 fold by 2050. \nIndia aspires to become a global leader in the production and exports of hydrogen over the next few years. In addition to the National Hydrogen Mission\, it is mulling a proposal to make it mandatory for user industries like oil refineries and fertiliser manufacturers and subsequently steel and transportation to produce/procure green hydrogen. \nWhile the government’s ambition has to be lauded\, there are a number of challenges associated with the use of green and blue hydrogen in India. These pertain to lack of adequate technology\, storage\, transportation\, development of new materials\, electrolysis\, safety standards and regulatory regime. This webinar will delve into these challenges\, what a shift to a hydrogen-based economy entails for Indian industry and the exciting opportunities that this sector presents going forward. \nKey takeaways:\n• Role of the National Hydrogen Energy Mission in addressing threats posed by climate change. \n• Various industrial applications of green & blue hydrogen\, how will a hydrogen economy impact Indian industry? \n• Challenges associated with production & adoption of green and blue hydrogen in India. \n• Roadmap for India to become a leading producer and exporter of green hydrogen. \n• Business and investment opportunities in India and learnings from international best practices. \n  \nFollowing is a detail of the esteemed participants in the webinar:\n• Gopal Krishna Agarwal\, National Spokesperson – Economic Affairs\, BJP (Keynote speaker) \n• Sturle Pedersen\, Chairman of the Board\, Greenstat Hydrogen India Pvt Ltd \n• Umesh Sahdev\, Executive Chairman\, Hydrogenium Resources Pvt Ltd \n• Prof Shirish S Garud\, Director\, Renewable Energy Technologies\, TERI \n  \nThe session will be moderated by Ms. Nikhaar Gogna\, Executive Officer\, Trade Promotion Council of India. \nTo register for the session\, click \nhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1D7uEiixTHarAJpMLsvkGA \n

SUMMARY:Webinar on India-Bahrain trade & investment opportunities in Engineering & F&B Tech
DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to a webinar being organised by the Trade Promotion Council of India in collaboration with the Embassy of India in Bahrain\, on Trade & Investment Opportunities between India & Bahrain\, scheduled for September 29 at 4:30 pm IST\, 2:00 pm Bahrain time. \nIndia-Bahrain relations have been traditionally strong and cordial\, on the bedrock of positive political\, economic and cultural exchanges. They also have a high degree of convergence on global issues. Bahrain has over 1.2 million residents that also include around 350\,000 Indians\, which is a major factor fuelling mutual understanding and people-to-people exchanges. \nBahrain’s GDP at current prices was recorded at US$ 33.9 billion in 2020 according to the IMF. After a contraction of 5.4% in 2020\, the economy is projected to grow by 3.3% this year. While the economy has traditionally been oil dependent\, it is becoming more diversified over time\, offering opportunities in financial services\, technology sectors\, manufacturing\, logistics\, tourism\, real estate\, healthcare and education. In fact\, the economy prides itself in the fact that around 80% of its GDP came from non-oil activities in 2018. \nThe country has progressively liberalised its economy\, thereby offering more opportunities for investment. The government offers 100% foreign ownership across most sectors\, with no need for a local partner. Due to these advantages\, FDI into Bahrain grew by 114% in 2017\, to US$ 519 million\, despite global FDI falling by 23% that year (according to Economic Development Board\, Bahrain). Notably the economy has US$ 32 billion in infrastructure and real estate developments that are in advanced stages of progress. \nThe webinar will focus primarily on the bilateral trade and investment potential for Indian and Bahraini companies in engineering goods and F&B technology. \n  \nConfirmed panelists:\n• H.E. Shri Piyush Srivastava\, Ambassador of India to Bahrain  \n• HE Abdul Nabi Alshoála\, Founding Chairman of Bahrain India Society\n& Chairman of Al Fanar Investment\n• CA P S Balasubramanyam\, Vice Chairman – Bahrain India Society\n& MD\, Assure Group\n• Ebrahim Mohamed Ali Zainal\, Chairman of Trafco Group\n• Fareed Bader\, Chairman & Managing Director\, Bader Group of Companies and Chairman of Industrial committee at the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry.\n• Sanjay Grover\, VP – International Business Division\, Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited and Vice Chairman\, Sectoral Committee on Food Processing and Packaging Technology\n• Deodutta Despandey\, Strategic Business Unit Head – Thermax and Hon.

SUMMARY:Webinar on India-Central & East European Countries: Trade & Investment Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to an interactive webinar on “India-Central & East European Countries: Trade and Investment Opportunities” organized by the Trade Promotion Council of India in collaboration with the Embassy of Czech Republic & Embassy of Romania\, New Delhi on September 23\, 2021 at 3:00 pm IST. \nIt is hardly a secret that India enjoyed excellent political\, economic and military ties with Eastern and Central Europe during the Cold War period. The following three decades have also seen a consistent growth of their bond. The CEE region is flourishing with niche capabilities in technology\, defense\, and IT sectors\, thereby attracting India. This region is also important for India as it offers foreign companies access to the European Union’s markets but with lower operational costs than Western part of Europe. \nAt the same time\, despite the pandemic\, India is one of the brightest spots in South Asia\, with its economy expected to grow by 7.2% in 2021\, as per the latest UN projections. This makes it an attractive trade partner that the CEE countries just cannot ignore. Further\, India has expertise when it comes to skills like the IT & technology sectors which can help build a meaningful synergy between them. \nBilateral trade in 2020 between India & CEE stood at US$ 7.9 billion according to the ITC Trade Map\, with India meeting 1.13% of its import needs from CEE & constituting 0.43% of CEE’s total imports.

SUMMARY:Invitation to webinar on Climate change vs trade: Securing common ground
DESCRIPTION:The Trade Promotion Council of India\, is organising a webinar Climate change vs trade: Securing common ground on Friday\, 27th August 2021 at 3:00 pm. This webinar explores the repercussions of climate change on global trade\, the inherent contradictions they lead to\, and how these may be resolved. \nThat climate change has been one of the most important challenges of the 21st century is inevitable. It is important because it not only affects the day to day lives of individuals as natural calamities like floods and forest fires become increasingly common\, but because it also poses threats to economies. The Swiss Re Institute warns that if global temperatures rise by 3.2°C\, it could dent 18% of GDP of the worldwide economy. \nFurther\, different industries will be exposed to the challenges that climate change brings. The food and beverage industry in the Indian subcontinent is one such industry. The National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture has found\, by 2080 there will be a noticeable dip in the yields of rice\, wheat and maize. Similarly\, Cotton 2040 states that by 2040\, 40% of cotton-producing regions are likely to see their growing seasons shortened\, while drought could hit half of the global crop. \nGiven the inevitable risks of climate change\, policies are being designed to intersect with international trade. For example\, the EU\, has announced plans to impose the first trade restrictions in the world for climate reasons. They are keen on levying an additional ‘carbon border tax’ on imports from countries that do not have strict norms for controlling industrial greenhouse gas emissions. This is bound to have an impact on foreign trade. Similarly\, the Biden administration has expressed support for the notion of a “polluter import fee” as one means of achieving that goal. \nKey takeaways from the session:\n• An understanding of the impact of the rise in GHG emissions on the global economy\n• The impact of policies like carbon border tax on global trade\n• Key industries and countries that could be affected\n• How companies can proactively make themselves environment smart\n• Key lessons for India from international examples \n  \nThe panellists for the session include:\n• Mr Pushkar Mukhewar\, Co-Founder & CEO\, Drip Capital\n• Mr. Chalasani Bhaskar\, Agripreneur\n• Dr Saon Ray\,Visiting professor at ICRIER\n• Dr Bandi Venkateswarlu\, Co-Chair DBT ‘Task Force’ (TEC) on Agri Biotechnology Member\, GEAC\, MoEF\, Govt.of India \n  \nTo register for the session\, please click\n\nhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_A9I9XNYRRp-pSUhI14gJiw

SUMMARY:Webinar on Marine exports Rejuvenating Indias blue economy
DESCRIPTION:The Trade Promotion Council of India\, is organizing a webinar on India’s Marine exports: Rejuvenating India’s blue economy  on Wednesday\, 11th August 2021 at 3:00 pm. \nOver the last few decades\, India has managed to catapult itself as the second-largest producer of inland fish in the world and accounts for about 14% of the global fish diversity. Yet\, the sector is not able to reach its true export potential as fish and fish products stemming from India constitute around 10% of total global exports. \nThe sector lags in areas like value addition due to critical gaps in the supply chain including the seasonal nature of wild catch\, stiff international competition from some of the other Asian economies\, the challenges posed by global warming and pollution of aquatic bodies\, and low average utilization of processing capacity. The pandemic has further added to the woes of the sector as there has been a slump in India’s seafood exports. \nThis webinar dives into the challenges that the sector grapples with\, mechanisms for their possible resolution and the roadmap for post-COVID rejuvenation. \n  \nKey takeaways from the session:\n• An understanding of India’s current marine exports – key products\, markets & challenges. \n• Impact of COVID-19 on the sector and strategies to cope with it. \n• India’s competitiveness as a marine exporter. \n• Climate change as a threat to the sector. \n• The key areas for foreign investment potential in the sector. \n• Role of a sustainable ocean economy in India’s post-pandemic growth. \n  \nThe panellists for the session include:\n• Vijaykumar Yaragal\, Executive Director\, National Fisheries Development Board \n• Chalasani Bhaskar\, Agri ESG Agripreneur \n• Dr. K. Sunil Mohamed\, Former Principal Scientist & Head\, Molluscan Fisheries Division\, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute \n• Virat Bahri\, Deputy Director\, Trade Promotion Council of India and Editor\, India Business & Trade \n  \nTo register for the session\, click \nhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kbWXgXaLSz6aylJlhOlXiQ \n
