WICCI National Aviation Council
WICCI National Aviation Council PROFILES WOMEN’S INDIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY WICCI.IN INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION TO WICCI • Women’s Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WICCI) has been established based on our experience of ALL Ladies League (ALL) and Women Economic Forum (WEF), wherein women entrepreneurs have greatly benefitted with women’s networking, exchange and collaborations. • As a National Business Chamber for Women, WICCI further strengthens women’s entrepreneurship and boosts businesses through greater engagement with government, institutions and global trade. • WICCI enables fundamental changes in governmental policies, laws and incentives with a view to robustly encourage and empower women in business, industry and commerce across all sectors. • As a Nation, India is envisaging a 5 trillion USD economy. This can easily be achieved and exceeded by the active inclusion of women entrepreneurs, businesses and professionals in all walks of life: by empowering our influence on decision-making. (source: wicci.in) NATIONAL AVIATION COUNCIL • The civil aviation industry in India has emerged as one of the fastest growing industries in the country during the last three years. India has become the third largest domestic aviation market in the world and is expected to overtake UK to become the third largest air passenger market by 2024. • Growth in the Aviation Industry is essential to the Indian economy; however it is struggling to keep pace with the growing demand in aviation and the situation will soon deteriorate causing delays, with the expected rise in air travel. • We as women in Indian aviation need to work towards developing a collaboration for sustainable growth which meets the rising demand and innovation trends, balanced with action to reduce environmental and community impacts. -

Entry Strategies of Multi-Nationals Indian Context by S. Ramesh
Entry Strategies of Multi-nationals Indian Context By S. Ramesh Kumar M J. Xavier August 1996 Please address all correspondence to: Ramesh Kumar/M.J. Xavier Assistant Professor/Professor Indian Institute of Management Barmerghatta Road Bangalore 560 076 India Fax: (080) 6644050 ENTRY STRATEGIES OF MULTI-NATIONALS - INDIAN CONTEXT by Prof. S Ramesh Kumar Prof MJXavier Abstract India with a population of over 920 million people with 300 million of them in the middle income category, is a country that cannot be ignored by any foreign multinational company. The hitherto protected Indian market was opened to foreign companies in the year 1992 through the liberalization policies initiated by the Government of India.In this article some of the unique characteristics of the Indian market and the entry strategies followed by foreign companies in different industries are discussed. ENTRY STRATEGIES OF MULTI-NATIONALS - INDIAN CONTEXT India is a country full of contradictions. There are islands of prosperity where one can find the best of the global products from ice-creams to automobiles; throughout the length and breadth of the country there are people reeling under poverty and illiteracy. Snake charmers can be found near the sky scrappers while computers coexist with the common man. While the illiteracy ratio is as high as 35%, India can also boast of a vary large pool of software professionals and scientific manpower. Though India is seen as a less developed country, in another sense it can also be viewed as a giant in the awakening. Economic Prestroika: After attaining independence in 1947, India followed a socialistic democratic path with central planning mechanism. -
