Business Standard Manthan 2024

Stepping into its 50th year, Business Standard introduces Manthan.

The two-day summit, with the best minds of India on policy and business, and international experts, will deliberate on the major economic and business policy options and challenges that face the Indian economy and the many sectors that have the potential of driving the country’s economic growth.

Business Standard Manthan is unique in that policy makers, instead of offering their wisdom to industry and trade, would get an opportunity to have an open access to national and international views and debates on economic and business options before the nation.

It is a ‘cannot be missed’ event for anybody keen on understanding the future course of Indian economy and polity.
