Doing Business in India: Congratulations Melissa

Melissa Barry

Congratulations are in order: 

Melissa has been selected as one of only sixteen NZ scholars by Education New Zealand to receive a scholarship to attend the April 2014, Doing Business in India Programme.  

Education NZ describes this is a two-week programme, delivered by the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) at its New Delhi campus, as "providing an excellent opportunity for postgraduate students in New Zealand to understand the Indian market, trade patterns between the two countries and business opportunities for New Zealand companies in terms of products, services and investment."

They continue, "India’s strong economic growth has sparked the expansion of bilateral trade and economic links...most noticeably in the increasing tempo of two-way high level visits, the growing trade relationship and the negotiations towards a bilateral free trade agreement. There is potential for growth in both goods and services – agriculture products, tourism, education, and consultancy services. New Zealand’s growing Indian community and India’s outreach to its diaspora have also strengthened people-to-people ties."
