Courtney Fingar, Editor, fDi Magazine continues to say, "Its concurrent emergence as an economic power has kept the country front of mind. Yet China has outpaced it in attracting greenfield investment and other emerging markets are catching up quickly. Lingering problems in the business environment, such as excessive red tape, unfriendly legislation, tax uncertainties and inadequate intellectual property protection, are holding India back from reaching its full FDI potential."

With escalating market demand and increasing purchase power, across industries, India has emerged as a viable business and investment attraction. Courtney highlights this fact, "India remains competitive because of the sheer scale of business opportunity it possesses. But now is the time for India to move to the next level, and further boost its appeal to investors."

India Outlook Summit is a multiple destination, international conference, that will focus on the assessment, challenges, and opportunities for investment within the Indian economy.

The conference will bring together economy influencers, decision makers and business leaders to lead attendees in a discussion on future investment prospects in India. The event's line up of keynote and executive speakers will present both a domestic and global perspective.

Key Issues to be addressed during the Conference:

• Defining the current status of the Indian economy and its future outlook
• Reviewing the future of Indian FDI and potential future opportunities
• Assessing future economic and regulatory trends
• Identifying key tax and regulatory challenges when investing in India
• Evaluating key sectors for lucrative investment and business opportunities
• Understanding successful investment and business strategies for India
• Restoring investor confidence in tomorrow's Indian market
