Udaipur, the “City of Lakes” or “Venice of the East” is the most beautiful city in Southern Rajasthan in India. Situated in the lush green valley of Aravalli Hills, the city is associated with magnificent natural environs & royal architectural splendor. The city was strategically inhabited by Maharana Udai Singh II in 1568 as the capital of 'Kingdom of Mewar', in the lush, calm & serene valley of Aravallis. The city is known for the bravery and valour of its Rajput rulers. The historic battle of Haldighati between Maharana Pratap & Akbar is its unparalleled example. It is also famous for its exquisite palaces, temples and gardens, which make it a favourite tourist destination across the World.
The economy of Udaipur is traditionally based on tourism, handicrafts & artefacts, and mining. The wooden & stone handicraft items along with the miniature paintings, etc. are shining examples of the rich artistic tradition of Udaipur. The city is also known for its high quality & world's best green marble, zinc, lead, wollastonite, & other rich mineral deposits. Udaipur has recently gained importance on the world tourism map as a favourite destination for celebrity weddings in all royal splendor & as a venue for national & international conferences.

and business issues related to transnational corporations, foreign direct investment, institutional innovation and international development. The journal emphasizes the growing involvement of China, India and other emerging economies in the global community. It is the only journal published in the West (Canada) that addresses these issues from modern economic, business and knowledge management perspectives.
The Conference
India, one of the most significant Asian economic giants of current times, has greatly increased its role in the global economy in the past two decades. It represents almost one-fifth of the world population. Its contributions to global GDP and international trade have been steadily increasing. India's economy is the 4th largest in the world, behind the US, China and Japan. According to Goldman Sachs, India is expected to continue to grow at a much faster pace than the advanced OECD economies over the next 20-25 years. While ageing population and the resultant demand growth slowdown, large government and household debt levels and weak trend in productivity growth are all expected to constrain economic growth in Europe and North America; the relatively favourable demographics, accumulation of physical and human capital, increased innovation and economic specialization will increase opportunities for strong economic growth in India. As a result, India is expected to be the number two in the world economy, behind China, by 2030.
This conference aims at deliberating on the opportunities and challenges in India's emergence as an economic super-power. It will provide an opportunity to academicians and corporates to debate and discuss, through research findings, the strategies to address these challenges; cultivate and sustain growth in the future through exploring undiscovered avenues that would propel India's growth as an economic super power.
