Rana Kapoor, MD & CEO, YES Bank and Chairman, YES Global Institute, opines, "The rules of the game have changed. While climate change, geopolitical realignments and technology present discontinuities globally, closer to home in India, we additionally have exciting new opportunities driven by digitization, de-regulation and changing demographics. In this context, the 2018 edition of the YES Bank Economic Times Global Business Summit with its central theme as 'New Economy, New Rules' provides a platform for global policymakers, opinion and thought leaders to discuss and deliberate on ideas which will shape the new world order."
