At the recent Australia Summit 2024, organised by Morgan Stanley, our Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer, Tk Kurien, joined The Hon Barry OFarrell AO, ex-premiere of NSW and Australian high commissioner to India (2020-2023), and Ashok Jacob, Executive Chairman, Ellerston Capital in a panel discussion on India’s future growth trajectory. Premji Invest is actively investing in businesses at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and social impact. These initiatives are focused on driving India forward and creating more long-term growth opportunities. “India’s general election stood out as an exemplar of a thriving functioning democracy, with free and fair polls. The growth story of India remains intact and holds great promise. In the coming 18-24 months, we expect to see increased interest from Australian mega funds in investing in India,” noted Tk Kurien. The summit touched upon a wide range of topics, including GDP growth, the success of Digital India, derisking supply chains, and more. Prakash Chellam #PremjiInvest #DigitalIndia #growth
