India\u0027s economy grew on average 8 percent over the last ten years and growing dynamism in several of its regional markets have created wide and diverse business prospects for U.S. companies. The country\u0027s supply chains are responsible for its continued growth and globalization. The sector is valued by official studies at $500 billion.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EIndia\u0027s infrastructure needs present an unprecedented opportunity for U.S. firms in developing supply chains, warehouses, cold chain storage, ports, roads, railroads, airports, and power grids. India will invest $1 trillion in its infrastructure during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-2017) and looks for private sector participation to fund half of this massive expansion through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. India\u0027s highly entrepreneurial and rapidly globalizing private sector is investing in infrastructure projects and is actively looking for suitable partners in USA.\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \n\u003Ch4\u003EWho Should Attend?\u003C\/h4\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis one-day global business forum is designed to be intensive and specific for business decision-makers, strategic business planners, export, marketing and operations managers, top professionals, legal practitioners, consultants, and academics with a special interest in India\u0027s  Supply Chain and the business impacts of its continuing growth and globalization.
