My home town is leading big time on engagement with India.
Michelle Wade, Commissioner to South Asia, State Government of Victoria, Australia, outlined some of the facts in a recent speech to a BDO event “India – it’s time to diversify”.
Melbourne and Victoria are dominant in Indian student numbers, we have close on 180,000 Victorians who were born in India plus on tourism we lead the way.
According to Michelle Wade, trade and investment opportunities abound for us in India – including advanced technologies, edtech, health and wellness.
One key to doing well is to drill down and find organisations with the right capabilities, according to Wade.
BTW Victoria has business offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru – and have been very helpful to me.
Which Victorians are doing well in India? A few from the big list – Linfox, Deakin University, Rubicon Water, MedSurge, Monash University and Swisse.
Time you engaged with the India growth story?
