"India continues to attract foreign direct investment with interest moving from software & IT into manufacturing, consumer products, health care, high tech, and defense sectors," notes Robert Ross, Program Director at Bloomberg BNA | Cite. "Notwithstanding the opportunities, India is a tough place to do business and challenges exist, including corruption, backups in the court system, infrastructure shortages, complex and ever-changing tax laws and compliance requirements, shortages of qualified skilled professionals, and need for adequate public education."
This conference will provide a unique opportunity to learn from a faculty of experienced global professionals with in-depth knowledge of the Indian market while networking with other professionals and corporate executives seeking answers to similar questions and issues.
The impact of Indian tax law on U.S. companies operating in India or looking to invest in India will be covered from many points of view. Attendees will also examine how the Indian legal and regulatory systems work and compare Indian and U.S. tax and accounting, identifying the differences and how they will affect a business.
Various sessions will address initial considerations for setting up a business in India—economic trends and forecasts, political developments, key regulations, and involved government agencies—and actual operating issues, including human resource and employment issues, legal and tax aspects of using intellectual property in India, and the latest legal and regulatory developments and investment opportunities in key sectors in the Indian market.
