GTR, the global financial services information provider, were delighted to return to Mumbai for the 10th Annual India Trade & Export Finance Conference, which took place at the Taj Land’s End Hotel on February 12, 2014.

Over 220 business leaders attended this one-day conference and provided extensive networking opportunities for domestic and international financial institutions; local SME and global corporates; lawyers; policy makers, and specialist trade finance risk analysts.

The conference opened with a keynote address by the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), with the Director General & Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ajay Sahai, giving a presentation on how government policies are helping facilitate trade.

As the biggest trade and export finance gathering in India, the conference brought together decision makers from some of the country’s biggest corporate players, including Reliance Industries, Essar Group, ABB India and Konecranes, to give their unique insights into today’s market. The event also attracted many local and international delegates from the banking and financial services sectors to discuss liquidity challenges, corporate demand for capital, the impact of changing global trade flows and specific industry case studies.

“India’s economy has fluctuated of late with concern growing in many sectors regarding the impact of global economic conditions,” says the producer of the event, Paul Greetham. “This conference brought together the people that really make a difference in the market to discuss new strategies, address industry preconceptions

and to create an action plan from which the country can return to enviable growth that India has become so accustomed to in recent years.”

With so many high-level delegates in attendance, networking was a key feature throughout the day. With a specific networking lunch, an evening drinks reception and numerous breaks, there was ample opportunity for anyone serious about doing business in India to create new contacts and build relationships with the market’s main players.

“The annual India trade and export finance conference has rightly become a flagship event within the Exporta Asia calendar,” says Rupert Sayer, CEO of Exporta Asia. “Many delegates and supporters return year after year and have helped develop this key industry gathering into a hotbed of contemporary discussion and unrivalled networking. We look forward to facilitating business in the region for many years to come.”
