Seizing India's Opportunities
Leeds University Business School, in partnership with the Financial Times organises the FT Speaker Series, a series of lectures presented by distinguished experts from the business community. The series, which this year focuses on international business, aims to inform and educate anyone with an interest in international affairs, with a key emphasis on the challenges brought about by globalization.
Dr Paul Davies, former Managing Director Unisys in India and Managing Director Onshore offshore Ltd – and a University of Leeds alumnus - is the speaker at our next event on January 24th at 6pm. Having been Managing Director of Unisys India, where he was responsible for developing the domestic market and for planning both BPO and IT offshoring, Paul wrote What’s this India business? published in Europe, the UK, the US and India.
Prior to the role in India, he was the strategic marketing director looking after the business development of India, southern Africa, and the Middle East, and was responsible for a number of key developments. He took on this role having been the European sales director for financial services for Unisys, after a period as the Account Director for a major UK bank. Paul Davies has a PhD in English, focused on the novels of George Eliot, and is a University of Leeds alumnus.
His talk will focus on the opportunities brought about by the rise of India in the world economy. This India lecture will be of interest to those wishing to understand and seize opportunities created by the emergence of India in the world economy. The lecture will be followed by a networking reception.
Previous topics covered in the series have included the threat of “new protectionism” and business success in a globalised world.
This FT lecture is organized by our research centre on Indian business, the James E Lynch India & South Asia Business Centre. On this occasion, the India Centre will launch Watching India, its series of market research briefings on the Indian economy and key sectors of the economy. The event will be attended by companies and organisations wishing to benefit from India’s locational advantages, and those who support the India Centre.
