India is considered among the leading destinations for doing business, especially in the service sector. With the best available skilled, managerial and technical manpower in the world, India has a distinct  advantage in the service sector to face  global competition, in addition to its favorable costs. On the one hand, the growth of the service industry in India has been  broad-based, although phenomenal, in communications, business and finance. On the other hand, there are various challenges in terms of infrastructure, security, quality and policies. The World Bank report on India, as a destination for business, emphasizes the immediate need to address these challenges. To enable an in-depth discussion of ideas on this important theme, IFIM Business School is organizing the 4th International Conference on "Doing Business in India - opportunities and Challenges in the Service Sector" on the 11th - 12th of January, 2012.
