MSLGROUP in India has announced its appointment as public relations support for India Economic Summit 2014. Following a close collaboration of almost three decades, the World Economic Forum, together with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), will host this year's meeting in New Delhi, India, from November 4 to 6. Over 800 participants are expected to participate under the meeting's working theme, 'Redefining Public Private Cooperation for a New Beginning'.

As India undertook the largest democratic exercise in history to elect a new government, the world is now waiting to see how the country will use its pluralist fundamentals to create a shared vision of a prosperous and equitable India. Today, India enjoys the unparalleled advantage of a population which has youngsters (under the age of 25 years) in the majority. This large segment of the population offers vigour for new solutions, greater transparency, but also a strong demand for jobs. As exciting as it is to reap the benefits of this demographic dividend, it is equally important to address the inequalities of access and resources that persist in India.

Among the key issues in focus are - catalysing economic growth, meeting infrastructure targets, job creation, promoting transparency, invigorating the agricultural sector, accelerating reforms for India's women, and providing decent and universal healthcare.

The Co-Chairs of this year's meeting are Shobhana Bhartia, Chairperson and Editorial Director, HT Media, India, James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Airways, United Arab Emirates, Yorihiko Kojima, Chairman of the Board, Mitsubishi Corporation, Japan, Anand Mahindra, Chairman and Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra, India, and Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, Documentary Filmmaker, SOC Films, Pakistan and Young Global Leader.
