Network18 Presents Reforms Reloaded: Shaping India’s Future with the Next Big GST Leap

Network 18 Reforms Reloaded

India is getting ready for its first significant Goods and Services Tax (GST) reform in eight years. This is not just a simple update to the tax system; it's a major shift that could change the way businesses function, how consumers make purchases, and how investors perceive the Indian market. At a time when global trade regulations are undergoing significant changes and countries are striving to show their strength, this GST reform presents an opportunity for India to reinforce its position as a trusted global partner and a thriving domestic economy.

To decode the reform and its impact on the end consumers and conglomerates at large, IDFC FIRST Bank presents Network18 Reforms Reloaded. On 22 September in New Delhi, the nation’s most influential voices from government & policymaking, Smt Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Minister of Finance & Corporate Affairs, and V. Anantha Nageswaran, Chief Economic Advisor, GoI; industry experts including V. Vaidyanathan, MD & CEO, IDFC FIRST Bank; and from strategy and global affairs, Amitabh Kant, Ex-G20 Sherpa, GoI & Former CEO, NITI Aayog, will come together to examine the impact of the GST reform and the opportunities it unlocks. Joining them will be several other distinguished industry leaders, policy experts, diplomats, state officials, technologists, and global investors, bringing perspectives that stretch from policymaking to the boardroom and from governance to global markets.

What sets Reforms Reloaded apart is its focus on the broader implications. It’s not just about fulfilling regulatory requirements; it’s about how reforms can drive growth. The discussions will include in-depth conversations on how states are implementing the changes locally, how global markets might react, and how innovation and technology can contribute to an independent India. Every conversation will be centred around the same core question: how can these reforms lead to tangible progress for individuals, businesses, and the nation as a whole?

As India stands on the threshold of a transformative economic shift, this summit becomes more than just a platform; it becomes a roadmap. Reforms Reloaded is where intent meets ambition, and where the ideas shaping policy connect directly to the aspirations of a billion people.

Stay tuned for more updates on Network18 Reforms Reloaded as we bring you the voices, ideas, and insights shaping India’s next big leap.
