In his second keynote, Professor Porter will stress on the idea of moving beyond GDP and evaluating progress based on social outcomes. He believes that societal needs, not just conventional economic needs, define markets and that social ills can create internal costs for firms themselves, and therefore for the economy as a whole. The theme becomes all the more important in the Indian context, as the idea of inclusive growth is gaining currency across policy circles.
