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. Therefore\, there is phenomenal untapped potential that the two regions can explore by advancing their military\, cultural\, economic and energy cooperation. \nThis webinar will dwell on bilateral trade relations of the two CEE nations with India\, trade opportunities available for Indian industries\, possibilities of collaborations\, ease of doing business\, import-export policies of the government including trade barriers\, untapped sectors\, customs regulations and formalities\, other issues relevant for industries of both countries. \n  \nKey Takeaways:\n• Scope of multilateral trade relations between India & CEE countries; \n• Possible areas for investment and collaboration \n• Ease of doing business \n• Prospects of the ongoing talks for the India-EU BTIA \n  \nFollowing is a detail of the esteemed participants in the webinar:\n• HE Mr. Milan Hovorka\, Ambassador of Czech Republic \n• HE Ms. Daniela Mariana Tane\, Ambassador of Romania \n• Mr V.K. Gauba\, Additional Director General\, Trade Promotion Council of India \nThe session will be moderated by Ms. Nikhaar Gogna\, Executive Officer\, Trade Promotion Council of India. \n  \nTo register for the session\, click \nhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fN8SYskgQKmwd2hz6LKsEA

This knowledge sharing platform facilitates attendees to learn from global Industry ICONs about the do’s and don’ts they must keep in mind as they endeavour to build international brands. \n  \nThereby\, it also becomes a vital channel for the industry to get much sough-after mentor ship from leading Distributors & Modern Trade Channels in the easiest and most convenient format. \n  \nProminent focus areas for the “MASTER CLASS” are: \n• Key challenges faced by Indian brands & manufacturers in the GCC.   \n• Changing dynamics of the F&B industry in the region.  \n• Future potentials for the Indian F&B brands in the GCC  \n• Presence\, penetration\, and product acceptability of the Indian brands in the region. \n• Importance of mainstream consumerism for the brand for its over-all success. \n  \nFollowing is the list of esteemed panellists for the “MASTER CLASS”: \n• Mr. Kirti Meghnani\, Head-Procurement\, Choithrams\, UAE \n• Mr. Narendra Shah\, Managing Director\, Selmax Exports Pvt Ltd\, Mumbai \n  \nTo register for the webinar\,  \nclick https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_y4mjX4yXSAGOqDF6NpRYYQ  \nFor any clarifications\, please contact sneha.v@tpci.in \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.
