More than 40 top business leaders, policy and opinion makers from across sectors, industries, academics and government deliberated on topics ranging from the changing policy and behavioural landscape for Corporate India, the importance of principle-based, rather than rule-based governance, how the mindset towards risk and failure needed to change, emerging trends in cost-effective financing, and what lies ahead for the Indian MNC.
Announcing the latest edition of Mindmine Conversation, Mr. Sunil Kant Munjal, Chairman, Hero Enterprise and Hero Corporate Service Pvt. Ltd. said; “So much is happening on the ground; if the current groundswell of good intent is translated into action, the India that we will see ten years from now will be completely unrecognisable from what we see today. Creating this unrecognisable India is our biggest challenge and opportunity. We are delighted that we have been able to get some of the finest minds in Mumbai to express their free will, and offer insights and anecdotes that they normally would not have shared in a public forum. We will use the diverse inputs from this conversation, and feed them to relevant people, so that meaningful change can be triggered.’’
