2/2: India combines two powerful strengths: a young population and a proven ability to adopt technology at scale. While several major economies such as Japan, Korea and China are ageing rapidly, India will remain young for decades. In a technology-driven global economy, that combination could become one of India’s most important advantages.

1/2: Who will benefit most from the next wave of technological wealth creation? At #IGFMumbai2026, Ashish Chauhan (@ashishchauhan), MD & CEO, National Stock Exchange (@NSEIndia), pointed to a structural advantage shaping India’s future economy.

The India–EU Free Trade Agreement of January 2026 has rewritten the rules of cross-border engagement. By opening a unified market of two billion consumers, Europe is no longer just an export destination; it is an operational imperative for ambitious Indian multinationals. At #IGFMumbai2026, the session “Taking Indian Companies Global: Risks, Rules & Realities – hosted by CMS (@CMS_Law_Tax)” brought together leaders from legal, manufacturing, clean mobility, energy, education, corporate finance, and technology sectors to examine how businesses can navigate European markets in this evolving landscape. As Indian capital flows into the European Union, the margin for regulatory error has narrowed. From optimising market entry structures to managing stringent FDI screening and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the discussion mapped out the legal and operational foundations needed for sustainable, long-term India–Europe growth.

2/2: Ananth Narayan (@ananthng), Former Whole-Time Member, SEBI (@SEBI_updates), noted that markets have a natural mechanism for correction. When valuations stretch too far, markets gradually realign without regulatory intervention. Andrew Holland (@Hollaand), Head - New Asset Class, Nippon Life India Asset Management Ltd. (@NipponIndMFCare), added that global capital narratives evolve quickly. From the China-plus-one thesis to the rise of AI, markets respond rapidly when expectations and earnings diverge. Together, the discussion highlighted a broader shift: India’s structural growth story remains strong, but capital is becoming more selective and markets more disciplined. #JointheConversation: indiaglobalforum.com/index.html #IGFMumbai #CatalysingCapital #Assetmanagement #Insights #Forum #Mumbai

1/2: Are India’s markets overheating, or simply recalibrating? At #IGFMumbai, the Market Mavericks panel examined the forces shaping India’s market trajectory, from foreign outflows and valuation corrections to the changing behaviour of investors. Swarup Mohanty (@mohanty_swarup), Vice Chairman & CEO, Mirae Asset Venture Investments (India) (@MiraeAsset_IN) emphasised that recent foreign outflows do not undermine India’s structural growth story. Instead, global investors are responding to relative opportunities and pricing decisions across markets. Lakshmi Iyer (@Lakshmi1876), Group President – Investments and CEO – Bajaj Alternate Investment Management Limited,(@Bajaj_Finserv), pointed to a more mature investor base, where investors increasingly seek returns that are aligned with the risks they take.

In an environment where policy credibility influences capital flows, how is India’s policy playbook shaping investor confidence? @sansengupta (@GoldmanSachs) and Sanjay Nayar (Sorin Advisors LLP) discuss the shift to private-sector-led growth. With public debt constraining the state's fiscal capacity, the private sector must now lead India’s next growth leg. #JoinTheConversation: indiaglobalforum.com/index.html #IGFMumbai #CatalysingCapital #Mumbai #Forum #IndiaGlobalForum #Investment #Insights

2/2: Three critical questions shaped the conversation: - How does India's macro resilience position alternate assets as a hedge against global volatility? - Are Indian investors structurally under-allocated to alternatives compared to global peers, and what constraints prevent mainstream adoption? - Which reforms across taxation, regulation, liquidity infrastructure, or investor access would most accelerate alternatives becoming core allocations?

2/2: Three critical questions shaped the conversation: - What are the risks and opportunities for the Indian ecosystem amid a permanent global shift towards AI and a mid-term national shift towards economic self-reliance? - How can investors and the Government of India work closer together to address those risks and capture those opportunities? - Looking forward to 2030, when India will have a peak working population of 1 billion, what is India's narrative to the world as a capital allocator?

The roundtable “Returns, Resets, and Realism: Venture’s New Playbook in the Digital Era” brought together leaders from venture capital, private capital, investment advisory, startup ecosystems, and technology-driven enterprises to exchange candid perspectives on the future of the ecosystem.

Why do strong markets matter for economic growth? At #IGFMumbai2026, @ashishchauhan, MD & CEO of the @NSEIndia, highlighted during the “Market Mavericks” session that the systems which succeeded globally were those built on well-functioning markets. For India, strong markets will be key to allocating capital efficiently across sectors and sustaining long-term growth. #JointheConversation: indiaglobalforum.com/index.html #CatalysingCapital #CapitalMarkets #MarketEconomy #IndiaGlobalForum

Domestic capital is no longer a secondary force. As global markets tighten, the depth of internal liquidity is defining national resilience. During the 'Investor Insights' panel at #IGFMumbai2026, Radhika Gupta (@iRadhikaGupta), MD & CEO, Edelweiss Financial Services Limited (@EdelweissMF), Vani Kola (@VaniKola), Founder and MD, Kalaari Capital (@Kalaari) and Amit Chandra, Chairperson, Bain Capital India Advisors, examined how India is structuring its own capital reserves to navigate a fragmented global environment. The discussion highlighted a significant shift: from a reliance on global cycles to the strategic activation of domestic assets. As global liquidity enters a more selective phase, India’s ability to mobilise internal wealth and maintain valuation discipline remains central to its long-term sovereign trajectory.
