India’s growth journey depends on building a well-functioning market economy. The regulatory role of the state is central to this. Regulation, when done right, enables competition, allows integration with global markets, and fosters high-productivity firms by correcting market failures. 

Over the past two decades, considerable expertise has developed in India in the field of regulation and how to do it right. This conference seeks to bring together this community of people who have been shaping and observing the evolution of regulatory practice in India, including former and current regulators, civil servants, academics, and practitioners. 

The conference will explore how India can strengthen its regulatory institutions by improving its design, capacity, and accountability in pursuit of a more efficient and competitive economy. The discussions are expected to be of value both to regulated entities and to institutions engaged in regulatory governance.
