印度企业领袖周四在安得拉邦举行的《时代》周刊“合作势在必行：开启增长新篇章”晚宴上，探讨了印度未来几年的经济增长与潜力。
Corporate leaders in India spoke about the country’s economic growth and potential in the coming years at TIME’s The Partnership Imperative: Building the Next Chapter of Growth dinner in Andhra Pradesh on Thursday.
出席圆桌对话的有：气候科技初创企业Varaha ClimateAg的联合创始人兼首席执行官Madhur Jain；国际营销与公关公司Publicis Groupe南亚区首席执行官Anupriya Acharya；汽车企业五十铃汽车印度公司总裁Rajesh Mittal；以及亚洲开发银行印度业务主任Mio Oka。
Speaking on the panel were Madhur Jain, co- founder and CEO of Varaha ClimateAg, a climate tech start-up; Anupriya Acharya, CEO in South Asia of Publicis Groupe, an international marketing and public relations firm; Rajesh Mittal, president of the automotive company Isuzu Motors India; and Mio Oka, the director of India operations at Asian Development Bank.
Acharya谈到了在印度庞大的市场与区域网络中创造商业机遇时，灵活性的重要性。
Acharya spoke about the importance of flexibility when creating business opportunities across India’s vast network of markets and regions.
她说：“灵活性的起点在于不把所有事情一概而论，也不是说你能把同一个解决方案从一个市场‘复制粘贴’到另一个市场。事情不是那样运作的。”她表示，为了满足多元企业的需求，“你必须为每个行业、每个客户、每个细分市场……从它们各自的背景出发来寻找解决之道。”Acharya还探讨了人工智能如何提供关于经济的量化洞察，以及如何利用这些数据。
“Flexibility starts from a point where you are not treating everything the same, and it's not like you can do copy-paste on the same solution from one market to the other,” she said. “It doesn't work like that.”In order to tend to the needs of multiple businesses, she said, “you have to solve for each of the sectors, each of the clients, each of the segments … starting from their own context.”Acharya also discussed the ways in which AI can provide quantitative insights into the economy and how to leverage that data.
她说：“可获得的数据量绝对令人难以置信、令人震惊，”同时强调，企业要想蓬勃发展，既需要对国家的定性理解，也需要数据驱动的洞察。“你需要定性层面的东西，对文化的理解、对印度的理解、对消费者的理解、对市场的理解，以解码……你该如何为未来做规划。”Oka则谈到了印度在几个关键商业领域如何继续提升。
“The amount of data that is available is absolutely mind-blowing and mind-boggling,” she said, while stressing that for a business to thrive, it needs a qualitative understanding of the country as well as data-driven insights. “You need the qualitative aspects, the understanding of culture, understanding of India, the understanding of consumers, markets to decode … how you could plan for the future.”Oka talked about the ways in which India can continue to improve in some key business areas.
她说：“那么，印度缺什么？两样东西。一是制造业引领的增长。二是技术。”她补充说，农业板块是印度经济的另一关键组成部分，应当获得越来越多的投资。
“So, what's missing in India? Two things. One is manufacturing lead growth. Second is technology,” she said. She added that the agriculture business is another key component to India’s economy that should increasingly be invested in.
她还表示，政府与企业之间必须进行“真正的对话”，以解决该国的系统性问题。
She also said that there must be “real dialogue" between the government and companies to address systemic issues in the country.
“我们知道存在劳工问题。我们知道存在土地问题。那为什么我们不谈谈呢？”她问道。“现在是我们开始解决根本问题的好时机，这也是为什么基于信任的透明、诚实对话非常重要。”贾因还讨论了印度农业的重要性。
“We know there are issues about labor. We know there are issues about land. So why don't we talk about it?” she asked. “It's a good time that we start tackling the fundamental problems that we have, and this is why the transparent, honest dialog based on trust, is very important.”Jain also discussed the importance of India’s agriculture industry.
“印度拥有1.62亿公顷耕地面积。印度一直拥有令人难以置信的人才，而如今这些人才与大量雄心和资本相匹配，”他说。“重要的是要关注这些即将崛起的领域，它们能带来数十亿美元并将其引入该国。”米塔尔表示，如果印度希望在未来几年看到持续增长，出口经济应成为该国的重点。
“India has 162 million hectares of crop land area. India always had incredible talent, which is now matched with a lot of ambition and capital as well,” he said. “It's important that there is an eye upon these upcoming areas which can fetch billions of dollars and bring them into the country.”Mittal said that India’s export economy should become the country’s focus, if it wants to see continued growth in the years to come.
“我们必须变得以出口为导向，而这只有在我们开始通过质量、通过纪律、通过制度、通过流程来建立信任时才能实现，”他说。“我们拥有大量劳动力，因此我们有巨大潜力成为制造业中心。”本次“伙伴关系的必要性：构建增长的下一章”由安得拉邦呈现。
“We have to become export oriented, and that can come only when we start thinking on building trust through quality, through discipline, through systems, through processes,” he said. “We have a lot of manpower, so we have a lot of potential to become a manufacturing hub.”The Partnership Imperative: Building the Next Chapter of Growth was presented by Andhra Pradesh.
