India’s competitiveness at present is determined by some critical locations/sectors/issues. The states and cities are the critical building blocks. Diversity and unity of states and the proliferation of Indian cities will fuel the next phase of growth in India. It is vital to understand the developments of the economy in detail and create the required momentum. This dialogue thus strives to bring stakeholders on a common platform to work on enhancing the competitiveness of Karnataka and creating effective policy suggestions.
The dialogue draws conceptual antecedents from the work of the Institute on understanding state competitiveness in India with particular emphasis on innovative capacity in Karnataka. The purpose is also to benchmark the performance of Karnataka with other developing regions in India and help create a roadmap or give suggestions for enabling Karnataka to be a state that fosters innovative activity. These insights will help the policy makers to gain a perspective from the viewpoint of corporates that could enable growth within the state.
