The Zee Business Ministerial conclave by Zee Business brought together key ministers, big corporates and the best minds of Indian financial markets on one stage.
The conclave acted as a platform to question and evaluate the government’s performance in the last one year. During the Budget, the government had announced a lot of industry-friendly measures and initiated steps to boost the confidence of investors, hence it gave an interesting opportunity to evaluate as to how the move is impacting the economy and whether it will restore the faith of corporate India.
