As India aspires to be a $5 trillion economy by 2024-2025, analysts believe that it might take two or three years longer due to the global pandemic. For the country to achieve its dream, the growth rate in the post-pandemic recovery phase will have to be over 10-12 % consistently. This would require significant investment from the private sector and the government. Banks too will have a crucial role to play in this.

Capital in India is accessed and dispersed differently from other parts of the world. Understanding the nuances, structure and the entire ecosystem for an accelerated growth is critical.

A number of policy announcements, by both the central and state governments, have aimed to attract FDI. However, a large amount of capital could push the needle towards creating a $5 trillion economy. This requires increased participation from the private sector, including PE firms, venture capitalists, and start-ups. 

This session will discuss how India will create a financial architecture for a $5 trillion economy. The session will examine and explore the possibilities of new initiatives, and the actions regulators, government, and industry could take. The role of FDI, FII, PE & VC funds in this enormous proposition will be a key focus area of the session.
