Mr. Vyapak Desai (Partner, Nishith Desai Associates) will discuss recent government initiatives intended to "ease doing business in India" including by improving the effectiveness of international arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism for Indian disputes and will consider the past, present, and future of arbitrations involving Indian parties and investments.
