00:02 So to set the tone for the day, please
00:08 help me welcome on stage with a warm round of applause
00:11 CEO Outlook Publishing, Mr. Indranil Roy.

00:17 [APPLAUSE]
00:20 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
00:33 I'm absolutely delighted to welcome you
00:35 to the fourth Outlook Business Leading
00:37 Edge for, by, and of CEOs.
00:41 Outlook Business Leading Edge is a peer learning platform
00:45 for sharing with and learning from each other.
00:48 Life and leadership lessons, business trips and trends,
00:54 predictions and prospects, insights and innovations,
00:57 strategies, and solutions.
01:00 As we all know, slowdown is the word
01:02 that's echoing in the market, not just in India,
01:05 but across the globe.
01:07 And there is a question in everyone's mind,
01:09 how serious is it?
01:13 And true to the Outlook spirit of Hatspa,
01:16 which means audacity, boldness, guts in Hebrew,
01:20 we are daring to post an idea.
01:22 If every cloud has a silver lining,
01:24 then every slowdown has an upside.
01:27 In 1995, New York Times ran a story,
01:31 Why Wall Street Cheers on Economics Slips.
01:36 It was about how Wall Street investors broke out
01:38 the champagne to celebrate on economic slowdown.
01:43 The report was on a widely held Wall Street belief
01:46 that without a slowdown, the Fed would
01:49 be forced to push the interest rates up
01:51 at such painful high levels that it would finally and certainly
01:55 bring in a recession.
01:58 We are here today to learn from you, business leaders,
02:01 how not to waste a slowdown.
02:05 On this occasion, I would also like to invite
02:09 Ms. Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, the Honorable Minister
02:13 for Civil Aviation and Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs.
02:17 So thank you for accepting our invitation,
02:19 and thank you that you are here with us today.
02:23 We're really honored and grateful.
02:24 I once again welcome you all to the Outlook Business Leading
02:27 Edge, fourth edition.
02:29 Thank you very much.
02:30 [APPLAUSE]
