India must open up services to foreign investment. Let the world bring in foreign direct investment to set up best educational, financial, digital, health and legal firms in the country
Neither the Indian capitalist class nor India’s large companies are investing adequately in innovation
The government should use fiscal and non-fiscal measures to nudge people in the direction of leveraging technology and true work-from home option to take IT to the next level

While India may be seeing a slowdown in growth, it is still set to grow faster than most developed and developing nations
Students are attracted by employment opportunities available to them during and after pursuing any degree abroad
Higher education institutions must not only have flexible admission policies for foreign students but also provide remedial support for their academic improvements and social inclusion
Organisations can start by countering the prevalent stereotypes and depict real-world women and their dreams, aspirations and disappointments. They can come up with campaigns that help boost their self-esteem
A growing number of investors are seeing the value of hiring women leaders and are systematically trying to mandate more women in decision-making positions
Encouraging firms to adopt environmental, social and governance (ESG) frameworks can nudge companies along a sustainable pathway
When a corporation pushes its energies and helps resolve social sector challenges through its engagement, it indirectly stimulates its own business development
Content is the sharp end of the stick that helps companies break into a new market. It is not a business in itself, but something that markets the country
Mayur Maheshwari, the CEO of UP State Industrial Development Authority, says that Uttar Pradesh is set to become the first choice of investors in the coming years
