Yezdi Nagporewalla, CEO, of KPMG in India, said “Be it the business ecosystem, or supply chain or issues pertaining to talent, the magnitude of these challenges has altered dramatically and what matters is how agile business leaders are to respond. CEOs in India surveyed appear confident in their organization’s resilience, they also seem to have prepared themselves to make the most of the current environment, brought on by the promise of technology, talent, and ESG.”
“With the increasing pace of change and transformation, CEOs in India have accepted and adapted to the current needs of the modern workforce. It is indeed, heartening to note that CEOs in India are looking to increase measurement and governance to build a more robust and transparent approach towards driving a long-term ESG agenda” he added.
However, as per the predictions of the IMF and other institutes and organizations, they feel that India is in a very good position to overcome the recession with flying colors, and also India will pave the way for global recovery and become the power hub in the near future as most of the companies are looking to invest and collaborate with India. So the future looks bright for the Indian market compared with other markets which is the key to becoming a 10 trillion economy.
