Scaling in India: When Demand Isn’t the Problem
Give feedback
India’s growth story is often framed around demand, markets and entrepreneurial energy. Yet for many mid-size and high-growth firms, scaling hits a ceiling well below potential, not due to demand, but because of institutional complexity: unclear rules, inconsistent enforcement, regulatory opacity and gaps in property rights. For CFOs, this translates into higher capital costs, unpredictable returns and risk-laden investments.
In this session, Dr Parth Shah will explore how finance leaders can navigate regulatory uncertainty, influence systemic reforms and unlock scalable, profitable growth without taking on additional execution or balance-sheet risk.
Key Takeaways
How to identify whether growth constraints are market-driven or institutional, and why this distinction matters for capital allocation
Approaches to scale profitably amid regulatory ambiguity without increasing financial or operational risk
Why governance quality often impacts capital costs, timelines and valuations more than operational performance
How leading firms transition from reacting to market rules to shaping them, enabling long-term, durable growth
