| 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM | Recalibrating growth expectations of Indian ER&D in a Post-COVID-19 World The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will have an impact on a majority of the end use industries for ER&D. Majority of the ER&D work in India is outsourced from western countries, which have been hit the hardest by the pandemic after China. As these countries, industries and players recover from this difficult situation depending on their financial health, maturity and government support, how should the Indian players recalibrate their growth expectations? Are there any learnings from previous downturns, how long will the impact last and will there be any long-term implications on outsourcing? Ashish will discuss these topics and will share his views on what Indian ER&D players can do to protect themselves from similar events in the future and capitalize on short- and long-term opportunities as a result of this pandemic. | Speaker Ashish Sharma, Head - India Digital & Transformation, Strategy& |
