The nexus between international security and business is not as far-fetched as one may think. How our global order, international relations and conflict develop and emerge is crucial for business leaders to understand how to operate and succeed in their chosen environments. This narrative becomes clearer and clearer with events such as the global pandemic, regional disputes, migration and environmental degradation.
As a result it is important, arguably more now than ever before, to understand our international security environment and order when thinking what motivates our foreign policy and strategic planning for businesses. The Indo-German friendship and relationship is not new; business and trade have allowed the two countries to maintain strong relations. What is new, however, is the extension of this relationship to issues of global and regional security, be that through hard or soft power methods.
With these thoughts, we must ask ourselves “How can, if at all, Germany and India further their strategic relationship to provide security nationally, regionally and internationally?” These debates were discussed in our most recent Indo-German Business Talk, recorded on 30 August 2023. The Indo-German Centre was joined by three expert panellists: Dr Shanthie D’Souza, Founder and President at Mantraya; Ambika Vishwanath, Co-Founder and Director at Kubernein Initiative; and Dr Christian Wagner, Senior Fellow at the German Institute for International Security and Affairs (SWP).
