India’s largest and most prestigious investment Forum returns for its fifth year in September 2008 as a two-day private event for portfolio and direct investors seeking leverage in investment opportunities in one of the world’s fastest-growing and most dynamic markets. The 5th Annual India Investment Forum is co-hosted by Citi and Kotak, leading financial institutions in the world’s two largest democracies, and it continues our tradition of bringing top government officials and corporate executives from India to meet investment executives from U.S. institutions.

The timing couldn’t be better. The Forum follows immediately after the opening of the 63rd session of the United Nations General Assembly and as preparations begin, India is rounding off a fifth successive year of stunning economic growth. Economic growth of around 7% ranks India among the world’s fastest-growing economies in 2007.The specter of inflation was stoked by a credit boom earlier in the year only to be dissipated by timely intervention of the Reserve Bank of India. Inflation has cooled, and a feared slowdown was averted. Investors are taking note. Foreign investors last year directed risk capital on the order of US$30 billion towards India, only to be outspent by Indian companies, who invested nearly US$50 billion in foreign acquisitions.

This year’s Forum will provide fresh perspectives on India’s economic growth, financial markets and key industries in the year ahead. The 5th Annual India Investment Forum presents a platform for investors to gain market intelligence in order to excel in investment decision-making to better access the investment opportunities to be found in India’s key sectors. Investors will gain first-hand knowledge of new regulatory and legal developments in India, analysis of size and growth potential for the most attractive sectors and a keen realization of investment value represented by India assets.
