ndia stands at a decisive moment in itsgrowth, when development is at a
crossroad, even as we stand at the cusp of
a vanishing footprint in the trade frontier
n the face of stiff competition from other
emerging countries. As such, India needs
to find greener pastures to realize its trade
potential and further opportunities to
expand specially in the scenario of a global
slowdown.
Africa, once the lost continent is the
rising star whose light beckons India and
promises to be the future hub to build up
e xp or t m o me nt u m a n d e co n om i c
opportunity. China has already cashed inon the latent economic prowess of the
African economies. China, after having
deluged the local Indian market with its
ow cost product varieties, seems all set to
dominate the world exports.
While on one hand, the Chinese goodswith their low rates, wider variety, and eye
catching labels are giving sleepless nights
to the indigenous manufacturers, the 9+
projected growth of our economy proves
ndias unwillingness to play the second
fiddle. With an impressive growth in the
c om m od i ti es s e ct or, I n di a s t ra d e
activities are projected to grow by a robust
10.5% in Fy11. The loss in revenue due to
the tardiness inthe procession of Indian
policies vis--vis Chinas is vastlycompensated by the rise of the educated
middle class which is a huge asset to any
nation. The stage seems all set fora heated
battle between the two prospective
superpowers.
Indias growth patterns have mirrored
Chinas at an average of about 8 percent
per annum until the financial crisis hit,
albeit coming from a far smaller base.
Withan economy about tobreak
into the global top ten in terms of size
(India currently is in twelfth position) the
global community is both starting to take
note of Indias rise and to appreciate itsclout.
But what remains to be seen is whether
India can consolidate its position and build
systems in time with the right strategies to
challenge China. This symposium is an
effort to further the discussion at both the
macro and the micro levels and also tounderstand the constraints which have
severely arrested our infrastructural
scenario andcompetitiveadvantage in the
world trade corridor.

economy and building the Africaninfrastructure.
WhileIndiahasbeenslowtorecognize
Africas importance, in recent years it has
worked hard to increase i ts own
engagement with Africa. However, Indias
economic presence in Africa is mostly
marked by the predominance of its private
sector, recent examples being Bhartis
acquisition of Zain, Tata groups opening
up of a hotel in Zambia and Vedantas
acquisition of copper mines in the country.
Beyond resources and infrastructure,
IndiahasalsocarvedanicheinAfricanIT&
Telecom,education andhealthservices.
As Shashi Tharoor, the former Indian
minister, underlined we have an
opportunity to enjoy a privileged position
in many African countries that we would
befoolishnot todevelop.
The session will attempt to provide an
outline for the growth opportunities in
Africa, how India can take advantage of
these opportunities, and how it can
prevail overothercompetitors.
nvest in Africa, the Dark Continent? Nochance, nothing but war and famine
would have been the response a decade
ago. Even today, negative perceptions
plague the region and often mask the
reality of a quietly transforming continent.
n fact, it remains one of the last
unrecognized growth opportunities in the
world with GDP growth averaging 5.3 % in
thepast decade.
Africas potential is huge as it is blessed
with a wealth of natural resources
ncluding hydrocarbons, 60% of the
world s uncult ivated arable land,
abundant fresh water, and favourabledemographics with the working age
population projected to be the worlds
argest by 2040. UNCTADs 2 010
nvestment Report indicated that Africas
share of FDI has expanded by nearly 50%
since 2000 and most notably, had declined
the least among the worlds continentsastyearduringthecrisis.Sothestage
finally appears set for Africas takeoff.
ronically, the first to notice Africas
potential was not the West but China.
From the late 1990s, it has rapidly
ncreased its economic engagement with
Africa. Chinas interest is two-fold;

Chinas no-holds barred surge in the tradearena has cast a shadow over Indias
export potential. Despite the fact that its
relationship with most countries is marred
byahugetradesurplus,Chinasgoldenrun
continues to storm the world and raises a
threat of leaving behind its nearest
competitor India by theproverbialmile.
At one time, India and China competed on
e xp o r t i n g t he s a me b a s ke t o f
manufactured goods, i.e. textiles and
clothing, leather & handicraft products
and light machinery. A twelve year lead as
regards to economic liberalization and an
export or iented trade pol icy has
completely turned the game in Chinasfavor in a manner that the sheer
experience of its manufacturing industry
has displaced much of Indias exports in
this sector.
As India begins to prepare itself for a
second waveof growth in the aftermath ofwhat has indeed proven to be a difficult
financial crisis for Asia, questions are now
bein g a sked a s to the extent o f
competition India really brings to global
marketswhen measured up against China.
While China has more than trebled its
exports in Textile & Clothing, Indian
exports havenotgained much ground.
Covert tactics by the Chinese to not onlydestroy Indias competitive advantage but
also to mar our credibility is demonstrated
in the fact that low quality textiles with
fake Made in India labels were
recovered from Nigeria and elsewhere in
Africa, which were apparently exported
from China. At a time when the Indian
textile industry is already reeling under
the effects of the global recession, efforts
to reach out to the African subcontinent
have been rendered futile by such devious
stratagems.
China is gearing up to pose a serious
c ha l l en ge t o I nd ia n ot o nl y i nmanufactured goods, but also in its bread
and butter industry the IT & ITES sector.
Chinas rapid expansion plans in the
software field are ample testimony to the
above threat.
Is Chinas export imperialism sounding adeath knell for Indian goods in the world
market? How is India going to tackle
Chinas ever increasing threat? Is an
attempt to overtake China a futile pursuit
on Indias part? This session aims to
contend such issues and bring to light the
roadblocks India has been facing in its
quest torealize its latent tradepotential.

The contribution of supply chain to acountrys growth has assumed significant
proportion in recent times. Today, an
ndustry realizes andstrives to integrate its
end-to-end processes to derive cost and
quality benefits and firms are aggressively
scouting for locations to realize these
advantages. So, India and China have
emerged as key suppliers in the global
supply chain. This is because they possess
an educated yet inexpensive workforce,
vast connectivity through road, rail, air or
ocean transport and substantial official
support for infrastructure development.
Thus arises the pertinent question, Indiavs. China, vis--vis the supply chain
potential. This entails a comparison of the
existing physical infrastructure. In India,
there is a heavy reliance on roads for
transportation. Its road network of about
3 million kilometers is second only to the
US while China has only a mill ionkilometers. However, in India, only about
half of the roads are paved. The roads are
too narrow to allow passage of vehicles
bigger than small trucks while China has
five times Indias length of multi-lane
highways.
n 2010 alone, the Indian logistics industry
s estimated to be 13% of the GDP, i.e. $20
billionandestimatedtogrowata
CAGR of 15-18%. The transportation partof supply chain contributes around 70-
75%, warehousing related processes
around25-20% and the balance bythe 3PL
and 4PL modes. It is largely driven by
outsourcing activities as customers seek
operationalefficiency atreduced costs.
But, this sector is also plagued by the
absence of organized players, a fact
highlighted by the latest World Bank
Logistics Performance Index 2010, which
ranksIndiaat47.
Due to poor infrastructure, the cost of
transportation in India is prohibitively
high, but things might improve, as theIndian government has earmarked 10% of
the GDP for infrastructure spending to
enhance the logistical abilities of the
country.
The last four years have seen considerable
growth in mergers and acquisitions (M&A)in logistics, ports, warehouses and
container freight stations while Free Trade
Warehousing Zones (FTWZ), freight
stations, cold chains and captive spin-offs
such as auto and retail logistics are seen as
attractive targets now. Whatever the
outcome, the truth remains that India has
firmlyestablisheditselfinthepsycheof
world consumers and global supply chain
sourcing.

INDIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Founded in 1925, ICC is the leading and only National Chamber of Commerce operating from Kolkata, and oneof the most pro-active and forward-looking Chambers in the country today. Its membership spans some of the
most prominent and major industrial groups in India. ICC is the founder member of FICCI. Set up by a group of
pioneering industrialists led by Mr. G D Birla, the Indian Chamber was closely associated with the Indian
Freedom Movement, as the first organised voice of indigenous Indian Industry. Several of the distinguished
ndustry leaders in India, such as Mr. B M Birla, Sir Ardeshir Dalal, Sir Badridas Goenka, Mr. S P Jain, Lala
Karamchand Thapar, Mr. Russi Mody, Mr Ashok Jain, Mr. Sanjiv Goenka, have led the ICC as its President. ICC is
theonly Chamber from Indiatowinthefirstprizein World ChambersCompetition in Quebec, Canada.
The Chamber has a special focus upon Indias trade & commerce relations with other Countries includingSouth & South-East Asian nations, in sync with Indias Look East Policy, and has played a key role in building
synergies between India and her Asian neighbours like Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh,
andBhutanthrough Trade & Business Delegation Exchanges, andlarge InvestmentSummits.
CCs North-East Initiative has gained a new momentum and dynamism, and the Chamber has been hugely
successful in spreading awareness about the great economic potential of the North-East at national and
nternational levels. Trade & Investment shows on North-East in countries like Singapore, Thailand and
Vietnam have created new vistas of economic co-operation between the North-East of India and South-East
Asia. The North East Initiative is also engaging with the state governments in livelihood generation bypromoting indigenous products of theregion through export oriented projects. ICC is also recognized as Nodal
