ValueNotes Connect

Welcome to the April issue of ValueNotes Connect.

India continues to be in the spotlight with its strong domestic consumption, recent economic reforms, and expected growth rates. The country has a lot to offer in terms of investment and growth opportunities.

However, this brings attention to issues associated with doing business in India – a highly fragmented and under-documented market. Varsha Chitale shows us how you can get reliable information from well designed primary research.

Warm regards.
