FMS, Delhi holds Annual Convention 2005 on "Brand India - The Next Leap"

FMS Annual Convention, Corporate India's touchpoint with the country's best budding managerial talent, has become a brand in itself and helps students to stay in touch with the best practices, changing rules and path-breaking innovative ideas in the corporate world, so that they can be constantly trained to be a part of the dynamic market-oriented global economy they are soon expected to join.

The theme for FMS Annual Convention 2005, held on December 11, 2005 at Maurya Sheraton, Delhi, was 'Brand India - The Next Leap'. The entire session was structured in three phases - The Vision Next, The Money Next and The Market Next.

The Vision Next: What We See India As...

The event was inaugurated with Mr. Subir Gokarn, Chief Economist, CRISIL Ltd., delivering a talk on 'Indian Economic Scenario, A Global Perspective'. He informed the audience that the inflation rates around the world are on a decline due to liberalization and globalization being adopted on an ever-expanding scale, but to make the best of the opportunities, India will have to come up with breakthroughs in the manufacturing and technology sectors as the differential it currently enjoys due to low-cost labor will cease to be an advantage in the future.

Prof. Abad Ahmed, Ex-Dean, FMS, talked of the ongoing grey revolution in the country and summarized the research reports about India's prospects by stating that the Indian economy is on course to overtake Italy by 2015, China by 2010, Japan by 2025, and Germany by 2032.

Mr. Rajdeep Sahrawat, Vice-President, Nasscom, delivered an enthralling and visionary talk on 'Innovation Factories' and outlined his idea of taking India forward by harnessing its core ideals by establishing a 'Saraswati to Laxmi Continuum' that touches every Indian.
