While many markets globally are seeing a slump in growth and employment, India’s economy had an unexpected 8.2% spike in GDP last quarter.
The country’s status as a future leader in the global economy continues to rise, something which is being highlighted this week at the Horasis India Meeting. Held at the Global School Foundation campus, the two-day event is bringing together more than 250 leaders from politics, business and innovation to discuss India’s growing role amid a rapidly changing international landscape.
During the opening plenary, chaired by Global School Foundation’s Co-Founder Atul Temurnikar, the discussion centered around India’s momentum gained in consumer spending, manufacturing, services, as well as its young workforce and tech innovation.
Speakers at the session included Murali Krishna Gannamani, CEO and MD of Fluentgrid, Shiv Khera, Founder of Qualified Learning Systems, Gulu Lalvani, Chairman of Royal Phuket Marina, and Shweta Shalini, Maharashtra Spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
The panel focused on tackling some of the most critical questions faced around collaboration and sustainable growth through parntership: How can India translate its economic strength into shared prosperity with its allies? And what role will international partnerships play in shaping the country’s influence on global trade, technology, and development going forward?
Horasis Chairman, Dr. Frank-Jürgen Richter noted India’s unique position in global economic transformation. Richter said, “India’s rise is not only about scale. It is about confidence, capability, and a profound sense of global responsibility. It is about offering new pathways for growth—and new ideas for how nations can prosper while remaining open, connected, and cooperative.”
He added, “We are here today because dialogue matters. Because partnership matters. Because cooperation is not a luxury—it is the foundation of progress.”
As India’s economy continues to expand, conversations like these are crucial to maintaining its momentum, global partnerships with countries like Singapore, while also making sure that this growth is inclusive, as the wolrd becomes increasingly interconnected.
