What they say about India...

Enjoying a consistently high growth over the

last decade, Gujarat is India's most
industrialised and urbanised economy
powering the country's growth story.
Gujarat offers wide opportunities even in
times of a shaky global economy, driven by
its entrepreneurial spirit, strategic maritime
location, next-generation infrastructure,
stable transparent governance and longterm vision.
Through the Vibrant Gujarat Summits, we
welcome a multitude of stakeholders from
all corners of the world - to leverage upon
these strengths, build a brighter future for
themselves, and in turn, create a better world
to live in. With its enriching quality of life and
an underlying spirit of doing better and
working together, Gujarat invites you to the
sixth Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit!

Welcome to Vibrant Gujarat.

Narendra Modi
Chief Minister, Gujarat

India is a place valuable to me

for both business and personal
reasons.
Bill Gates

I do not consider India as an

emerging market. I should have
been here much sooner.
Warren Buffett
CEO
BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY

Businesses should shift their

trading efforts away from Europe
towards emerging markets like
Brazil, China and India.

Germany has a major

interest in accompanying
India along its exciting and
extremely successful way.

John Cridland
DIRECTOR-GENERAL
CONFEDERATION OF BRITISH
INDUSTRY

Angela Merkel
CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY

India has a very impressive

GDP, huge population, fairly
educated work force, and for
these reasons there is an influx
of international investments into
the country.

You can't be global without

being in India - with its large
number of highly skilled, motivated
and knowledgeable people
