Steve to chair and moderate first ever Leaders in India forum

PRESS RELEASE: IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Secrets of CEOs and Leaders in India today confirm that Steve Tappin, CEO Confidant and CEO, The Secrets of CEOs, will be chairing and moderating the Leaders in India conference from 9-10th October in Mumbai.

Steve commented: “Ever since we flagged up the new era of “hard globalization” in “The Secrets of CEOs”, I’ve been spending as much time as possible in India. Indian businesses like Infosys and Wipro are great examples of smart CEOs creating global challenger businesses; the West is just starting to realize how much it has to learn from them. The global “Leaders” series is definitely one of the few premier events for showcasing the latest in CEO thinking and I’m very pleased to be involved for the second year running and at the inaugural Leaders in India. We’ll be taking the opportunity really to unpack how Indian businesses can exploit the global recession to steal a march in global markets and how you can best win at home in India. With an exciting mix of Indian and global speakers, it’s going to a hell of a show.”

Tanmay Modi, Forum Director of Leaders in India commented: “Leaders in India attracts some of the sharpest minds in business. The forum’s agenda has been carefully designed to stimulate even the most seasoned professionals while leaving ample room for spontaneous discussions. Navigating this agenda requires a wide breadth of experience and intellect. Steve Tappin has interviewed over 150 senior business leaders at length and consults to many Fortune 500 CEOs, I am delighted he is anchoring the upcoming forum.”
