Introduction

India aims to become a developed economy by 2040, with a target growth rate of 7% or more. However, challenges like geopolitical tensions, shifting global dynamics, and a K-shaped recovery threaten this vision. Capital investment will be critical for India’s journey towards a $10 trillion economy by 2032.

While metro cities struggle with infrastructure and climate impacts, the rise of sustainable, “smart cities” is essential for economic resilience. On a positive note, India’s gig economy and growing entrepreneurial spirit, especially in Tier 2 and 3 cities, offer hope. Domestic capital markets are emerging as reliable sources of funding, but questions remain: Are we leveraging our demographic advantage, and are we preparing talent for future tech cycles?

With potential interest rate cuts on the horizon, India may face an influx of capital, but will this lead to inflated asset prices or fuel new investments for growth? Can India seize this moment to realize its full potential?

The 8th Mint India investment Summit will delve deeper into themes that will dominate Indian public discourse over the next few years. It will identify under-the-radar trends and bring key stakeholders under one roof to put in place building blocks for our collective future.
