India and China will play defining roles in shaping Asia’s future. Yet understanding their growing influence requires looking beyond economic growth and geopolitics to how business, culture and strategic thinking are shaping their trajectories, and what these developments may mean for Asia and those seeking to engage successfully with the region.

Drawing on decades of experience in global business leadership and insights from his latest book, Chanakya and Sun Tzu: A Business Lens on Trade, Thought and Travel, Mr R. Gopalakrishnan will offer a distinctive practitioner’s perspective on India and China through the lenses of trade, culture, ideas and strategic thought. He will explore how their different trajectories, interactions and evolving roles are reshaping Asia, and what this means for businesses, organisations and a new generation preparing to build their careers in the region.
