Young Indians Team to Visit Moscow

A Yi (Young Indians) delegation from across the country will be travelling to Moscow, Russia to attend the G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance Summit scheduled between June 15 and 17.

Kochiite Srikantan Suryanarayan, National Chairman, Young Indians (Yi), will represent Yi at this year’s G20 Young Entrepreneurs Alliance Summit in Moscow

25 members of Yi from across most states in the country would be travelling for this summit. The South has been well represented and Yi’s two prime achievements in the last 10 years – one of turning ten and the other of acquiring an international reputation. Yi is a political organisation made up of members from diverse backgrounds. It survives purely on the fact that members gain confidence about their country after learning about its different aspects.

By 2020, 60 per cent of India’s population will be below the age of 30. No other country is getting as young as India. The youth will be playing a dominant role in shaping the future of the country. The outside world is looking towards us especially in areas of skilled labour and entrepreneurship. It puts us in a position of responsibility and leadership.

The delegates will focus on solutions to address critical issues facing all G20 countries including ways of Government, academia, NGOs and business communities to provide foundational support to aspiring entrepreneurs.

The theme of the summit is ‘Young Entrepreneurs shaping the future, solutions for jobs, innovation and global growth’.

Since this is a forum for the young entrepreneurs from the G20 countries to meet with their peers and learn best practices in growing dynamic companies, it will provide an opportunity to learn a whole lot of things. Singapore clears start-up business proposals in 12 hours, whereas, we face barriers and the process is time consuming.

The recommendations made at this forum will be presented to the B20 business leaders and G20 world leaders at the Summit slated for September in Saint Petersburg.

As for future plans the Yi is aiming at increasing its base in North East and in States of Jharkhand and Uttarakhand and of inducting volunteers to carry forward the dream of young Indians.

Industry Business Challenges

CII this year has started an unique industry initiative “Industry Business Challenges”, as part of its innovation journey.

In this initiative industry for the first time has agreed to post their business challenges in an open and shared platform, to invite innovative solutions.

Apart from individual innovators and academia, this is also an significant opportunity for MSMEs to look into these challenges and provide innovative solutions.

This initiative has the potential to open up new paradigms for MSMEs in the country, to scaling-up and build collaboration with large multinationals.
