Northeast could become the new growth engine for the country: Jaideep Raha

Sharing the potential of Northeast India and how the region is constantly evolving and standing at the verge of a trillion dollar business opportunity, Jaideep Raha, President – North East, SCLA, says, “Northeast has been neglected for so long and now is the time to focus on the tremendous potential of the region as it could become the new growth engine for the country.” He continues “Cross border supply chain is important because e-commerce didn’t stop in this pandemic. Hence, modernisation of cross-border supply chains is required to unlock value and create business opportunities. However, in order to do that we need to develop the logistics infrastructure; the basic infrastructure is already there, a little bit touch up is required.”
“The attention needed on trade logistics, e-commerce supply chain, connectivity and border logistics infrastructure,” he adds. Raha expresses his views at the recent conference organised by ASSOCHAM and SCLA focusing on Northeast – New Business Opportunities & Logistics Achievability.
