Webinar on 'Macro to Micro Implications of Top Mega Trends in India to 2020'

India will be at the core of global business and commercial activity, with projections of the largest working-age and youngest population in 2020. India will also be home to 864 million middleclass households by 2020, which will spur demand for white goods and compel companies to experiment with the low-cost segment.

Moving forward, India is an important business partner to South Africa. The global economy is shifting to emerging markets and strengthening trade and business ties with India is essential for South African business. India has shown interest in moving into Africa. South African businesses should take advantage of this opportunity by securing their role in the facilitation of trade between India and Africa.
