After corporate tax cut, ET CEO Roundtable to buzz even more

NEW DELHI: When some of India’s most influential CEOs come together this Wednesday to talk where the economy’s headed, the mood will be upbeat. The government effected paradigm-shifting corporate tax cuts last week. But everyone will also want to know how and when India Inc reckons private investment will start flowing.

So, expect the September 25 ET CEO Roundtable on the economy to be even more interesting, important and consequential than it already was. The roundtable will be preceded by a meeting of the distinguished jury that will pick the winners of ET Awards for Corporate Excellence through Westminster-style deliberations.

The CEO panel (see box) is exactly the kind of high-powered group of business high achievers that you will want to hear from when the economy may finally be on the cusp of a revival. ET has gathered business leaders from every important sector for the discussion — from startups to technology, auto to telecom, finance to management consultancy, and law to broadcasting. Future investment decisions by companies run by CEOs on the ET panel will play a critical role in reversing the slowdown.

Joining the panel will be Nitin Gadkari, minister for roads and highways. Widely appreciated as a performing minister, Gadkari’s take on infrastructure spending and future government moves will provide plenty of insights.

And after all that talk on when and how hard business decisions should be taken, the audience will hear Sadhguru offer his trademark holistic perspective on matters corporate, explaining the ‘Purpose of Business’.

Expect the ET CEO Roundtable on September 25 to not only give you some crucial answers, but also help you ask some key questions.
