Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2011 Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2011
The newly built Mahatma Mandir played host to the historic Fifth Vibrant Gujarat Global Investor's Summit on 12-13 Janu-ary, 2011. Surpassing the success of the previous four summits, this summit witnessed record signing of 7936 MOUs and investment commitments in excess of $450 billion.It also proved to be an ideal platform for international delegates and businessmen to come down to Gujarat and forge long lasting relationships with the local business community of India. It is also important to note that Vibrant Gujarat 2011 was not about investments alone, as the summit provided a platform for co-operation in development between India and the world while facilitating the convergence of power, knowledge and technology.This booklet is an attempt to provide you a glimpse of this year's Vibrant Summit. It is often said that success begets success and this is proving to be especially true in the case of Gujarat. The figures provided in the booklet are as on 13th January 2011, and post the summit even more investments have been pouring into the state. This means that the actual figures are dynamic and are being revised on an almost daily basis. Gujarat has indeed taken a giant leap towards economic growth. On the back of the resounding success of the Vibrant Summit 2011, Gujarat today looks forward to a golden era of fast paced social and economic development.

ndia is fast emerging as a major
economic power in the world and
Gujarat, a state on the western Icoast of India, has been contributing
immensely to India's growth story with
a consistent Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) growth rate of over 10% for
almost a decade. Home to a large
number of Indian and foreign compa-
nies in various sectors of manufactur-
ing, industry and infrastructure,
Gujarat presently is a national leader
in several products and a global
player in others. Little wonder then,
that Gujarat is now the industrial and
corporate face of the country evincing
investors' interests from all over the
world.
To provide a focused platform to
investment inflows, the Government
of Gujarat has institutionalized a
biennial event - Vibrant Gujarat
Global Investors' Summit since 2003.
The Summit is aimed at bringing
together business leaders, investors,
corporations, thought leaders, policy
influencers and opinion makers,
serving as a perfect platform to
explore business opportunities not
only in Gujarat but across the country.
Confidence can only stem from
success, and the Summit's rise from
strength to strength since its inception
only goes to prove that the world is
now expressing confidence that
Gujarat is on the expressway to
success. The five Summits held so far
Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2011
have been a resounding success,

with Summit 2011 alone garnering a
total of 7,936 MoUs involving a
record investment of USD 450-billion
creating 52 lakh new job opportuni-
ties for the youth.
Moving with the times, however,
the Vibrant Summit 2011, housed
inside the newly built Mahatma
Mandir in Gandhinagar, managed to

ment mindset. Not limited to growth by the presence of over 35,000 arrangements, networking dinners,

the lives of millions of people, the
Gujarat government through its

country.
