CII supporting companies that are going global

The Indian companies are going global and many of them have achieved multinational status. To facilitate this process, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in partnership with major Indian companies has launched an initiative -India Inc Going Global.

It is an attempt to create a platform for established and emerging Indian companies, banks, management consultants, and law firms to come together and share insights, which can be leveraged while setting up offices overseas and acquiring overseas companies.

Chairman CII Indian MNCs Committee & Chairman GVK Biosciences said "The aim is to create an ecosystem which can accelerate the creation of multinational corporations from India. The initiative aims to provide a forum for learning sharing and addressing common challenges of the globalisation journey in an actionable format."

The initiative is being led by Asian Paints, Bharat Forge, ICICI Bank, Infosys Technologies, Mahindra & Mahindra, McKinsey & Company and Prof. Tarun Khanna, Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor of the Harvard Business School.

The initiative is organised into operational entities termed as `clusters'. These clusters are based on functional areas or common challenges and opportunities. The three operational clusters are Leadership Development & Talent Management, India Advantage and Inorganic Growth.

Deputy Managing Director ICICI Bank Ltd said the global merger and acquisition business is $4 trillion and Indian companies have only tapped one per cent of the market. Therefore the initiative will help reach this market.
