India’s economic journey has been momentous and the India Inc today enjoys unprecedented growth opportunities. Yet the India agenda is far from being fulfilled. With the Budget on the horizon, the question now is, will the Budget 2008 boost the Industries and complete the Unfinished Agenda.

Companies across the Indian Economy have achieved 154 per cent growth in market capitalisation indicating phenomenal amount of investors’ confidence. However standing in the way of global glory are many challenges faced by all sectors - an apparent inability of the manufacturing sector to support the growing demand for equipment, government policy, subsidies, taxation, global impact and many such issues directly or indirectly affected by the budget. In an effort to bring to fore some of these concerns and to understand the core expectations of the industry, CNBC AWAAZ, India’s first dedicated Hindi business news channel, which over time has evolved as the most authoritative platform for the Indian consumers and businesses, in association with Parsoli Corporation is initiating a path breaking forum- ‘Industry and Budget’ In these series of panel discussions we aim to understand the industry perspective from Budget 08 with a focus on India Inc. as a whole.

Meet the industry doyens, thought leaders and decision makers as they come together to give voice to India Inc’s expectations from the BUDGET 2008. Moderated by veteran anchor – Gaurika Chaudhari, this panel discussion will chart the blue print of growth for the Indian Industry.
