Informa, the owners of information super-brands including Lloyd’s List, Taylor & Francis and Datamonitor, have announced the first Indian edition of the world’s largest series of Leadership events. ‘Leaders in India ‘, is the latest edition of what is widely regarded as the world’s largest and most respected series of business leadership events, which so far have taken place annually in major international cities including London and Dubai. Informa, producers of the event, have received a particularly strong response from Indian and international organizations, with GE, JSW, Johnson & Johnson, Birla, Nokia and Abbot amongst many others already having confirmed their delegations to the event.
‘Leaders in India‘ which will take place in Mumbai (8th - 10th Oct), is a three day forum dedicated entirely to the business community and in addition to providing an excellent opportunity for peer-to-peer networking, the ‘Leaders’ team prides itself on providing the most thoroughly researched and solution-focused points of discussion in its series of interactive audience Q&As with key business leaders. This business forum, commands audiences of top corporate executives every year, with past speakers most recently including Kofi Annan, CK Prahalad, Philip Kotler, Stephen Covey and Richard Branson. According to Peter Rigby, Chairman of Informa plc. ‘Leaders in India is a fantastic opportunity for participants to meet and mingle with their professional counterparts from both India and abroad. Similar forums in Dubai and London have become ‘must attend’ events over the past few years - attendees have found them extremely worthwhile, interesting and stimulating, and we anticipate that Leaders in India will be exactly the same’. ‘Inspiration is the underlying essence of Leaders in India. And that comes from the precedent and words of some of the greatest business leaders of our generation’ says Abhaey Singh, Managing Director of Informa India. ‘It is difficult, otherwise, to stimulate the minds and passions of so many highly intelligent, motivated and time-poor corporate executives’, adds Singh, referring to the audience of CXOs that typically attend ‘Leaders’ Business Forums. “India is one of the most dynamic markets of the world, where innovation, business, and technical acumen will continue to grow and thrive for many years to come,” says Trump Jr.. “I look forward to bringing many incredible projects to this market, which is now primed and ready for world class development.” Donald Trump Jr., has announced ambitious plans for investment in India’s real estate sector, and will elaborate on successfully dealing with the obstacles faced by international companies when entering the Indian market. Tom Peters, among the most influential management gurus of today, and renowned author of ‘In search of excellence’, will provide practical tools to tackle one of the most pressing issues on every CEO’s mind – ‘how to win the war for talent.’ In spite of a more favorable employer’s market at present, the ‘war for talent’ is expected to remain one of Indian business’ paramount challenges as the country continues to develop rapidly over the coming decades. On why Informa has decided to bring ‘Leaders’ to India, Abhaey Singh, Managing Director, Informa India, says that “Indians are ideas people – we love inspiration, and Leaders in India will be three days packed with the proverbial tingles down your spine.” The event promises the opportunity to hear from the select Indian and international business leaders and role models, whose words and actions define inspiration. This will be the best opportunity for interaction and active networking at the numerous luncheons, evening receptions and the high profile awards ceremony. Not only will this event provide the opportunity to learn new ideas and relevant life examples from the thought leaders but one can also have their suggesstions for the improvement of the business environment in India published with individual credits. The event will feature leaders such as Tom Peters, (Author & Management Guru, Steve Forbes, Chairman and CEO, Forbes Inc., and Editor-in-Chief, Forbes Magazine), Donald Trump Jr. (Executive Vice President, Development & Acquisitions, The Trump Organization), Shashi Tharoor (Chairman of Afras Ventures and Former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations), Adi Godrej (Chairman, The Godrej Group),Kishore Biyani (CEO, Future Group and MD, Pantaloon Retail India Ltd.) , Kiran Shaw Majumdar ( Chairman & MD Biocon Limited).The event will also host The “IIBAAs” (Indo-International Business Achievement Awards), which has been instituted to acknowledge exceptional entrepreneurial and innovative talent, effective and responsible leadership & management, and the setting of new standards within Indian and global businesses.
