24 hours in Mumbai - thought leadership seminar

Ross Dawson, September 10, 2008 6:15 PM US PT

It's an extremely busy two weeks. On top of many client deadlines I have four speaking engagements in Australia and one in India this week and next. I'm about to hop on a plane to Mumbai and will be there for 24 hours - unfortunately this time I have to get back as soon as possible though I have a long term plan to do a longer trip around the tech centers in India to speak and find out the best of what's happening.

The event I'm speaking at has already got quite a lot of attention - see one of a series of press releases that have got on the web below, also from Dishtracking, Indian Television, India Infoonline etc.

At the seminar I will be coming back to one of my key themes - the future of financial services. I have developed a scenario framework for the event that I'll share later on this blog. If we're looking out to 2020, then we do need to take a scenario approach, as there are massive uncertainties ranging across geopolitics, the economy, industry structure, volatility, and how technology is applied. I will be extremely interested to hear what financial services leaders in Mumbai are saying, as the sector underpins how India is participating in the global economy. More on this later.
