This was followed by a workshop that used Frost & Sullivan's Growth Excellence Matrix tool to help companies measure their future growth potential. In his keynote speech, he highlighted the significance of leveraging innovation to survive in the future business environment. How to create a foundation for Innovation, how can Corporate Enlightenment stifle success, what do companies need to do today, were some of the key questions he addressed through his session.
Recommending future business strategies to companies, Aroop said, "Organisations need to look at continuous innovation to achieve long term sustainable growth. We at Frost & Sullivan believe that focus on industry convergence will uncover new and emerging areas of revenues".
Frost & Sullivan Partner and Director, Dorman Followwill's Mega Trends presentation provided insight on the mega forces that are transformative and are driving convergence. The presentation emphasised the significance of these Mega Trends in Strategy Development and Implementation. The highlight of the presentation was Middle East specific Mega Trends such as Transcontinental Power Generation, Water Energy Nexus and Food Security.

The highlights of the evening were the two workshops that focused on Strategy Development and Implementation.

Co-facilitated by, Mark Simoncelli, Global Director, Growth Implementation Solutions, Frost & Sullivan and Samita Khawar Head of Growth Implementation Solutions, Frost & Sullivan, MENA, the workshops were very well received by participating delegates.
According to Y.S. Shashidhar, Managing Director, Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, Frost & Sullivan, "It is important for companies in the Middle East to understand the global forces that are driving change, especially in today's competitive environment, where we are living in an 'Uncertain yet Interconnected World'." They also need to understand the risks involved, if they do not gear themselves for this change today. Through our workshops, it is our effort to get companies to think beyond, take into account technologies and innovation that we will witness in the next decade and thereafter develop an implementable growth strategy. "

Humane Society International/India Lauds Drug Controller General's Direction to Eliminate Animal Tests for Cosmetics
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Tuesday, February 26, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- Humane Society International/India praises a direction given by the Drug Controller General of India to fast-track deletion of the final two animal tests from India's cosmetics safety standard. The directive was issued during an emergency meeting of the Bureau of Indian Standards' PCD19 Cosmetic Sectional Committee, to which HSI/India was a special invitee, and marks the beginning of the end of acute oral toxicity (lethal poisoning) and oral mucosal irritation animal testing for cosmetic purposes in India.
"Humane Society International/India applauds the foresight and compassion of Drug Controller General Dr. G.N. Singh's direction in this progressive move," said HSI India Be Cruelty-Free Campaign Manager Alokparna Sengupta. "It's unthinkable that in this day and age, animals are still choking on cosmetic chemicals in decades-old poisoning tests while companies choke on their own inertia in switching to a cruelty-free business model."
From now on, companies in India wishing to test cosmetic products or ingredients for these specific effects will have to submit a non-animal testing proposal to the DCGI for approval. Eventually, it is expected that the Indian cosmetic standard IS4011 will be amended to reflect the changes as directed by DCGI. The BIS has the responsibility of setting up safety standards for cosmetics by the Central Drug Standards Control Organisation, through the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1945.
HSI's Be Cruelty-Free campaign, the largest-ever global effort to end animal testing for cosmetics, has worked with various Legislative Assemblies and Members of Parliament in India who have written to the CDSCO and BIS in support, asking for an end to cosmetics testing on animals.
To show your support for an end to animal testing for cosmetics in India and around the world, sign a Be Cruelty-Free pledge today or just give a missed call to 080-4931-1223.
Humane Society International/India and its partner organizations together constitute one of the world's largest animal protection organizations. For more than 20 years, HSI has been working for the protection of all animals through the use of science, advocacy, education and hands on programs.
