International trade today stands at a pivotal point where rapid policy developments, digital transformation and evolving global dynamics are reshaping the way businesses operate across borders. For Indian exporters and importers, staying aligned with these changes is not only important for compliance but also critical for building sustainable growth strategies. Recognising this need for collective dialogue and insight, CTL-BHP 2026 will host an engaging Panel Discussion on “Strategies and Compliances for Way Forward in International Trade” on March 18, 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai.
The session will bring together experienced voices from key institutions including export promotion bodies, financial institutions and industry stakeholders who play a vital role in shaping and supporting India’s international trade ecosystem. The discussion will be moderated by Mr Mihir Ajit Shah, Advisor, Consultant & Trainer in International Business, who has been actively guiding exporters and importers across India on policy developments, compliance frameworks and global trade strategies.
The panel will feature distinguished speakers including Mr Rishi Kant Tiwari, Regional Head (Western Region), FIEO, Mr Hari Vinod, AGM, ECGC Ltd, along with a representative from the banking sector, who will share their perspectives on emerging trade dynamics, financial facilitation, and compliance expectations for businesses engaged in international trade.
The global trade environment has undergone significant shifts in recent years. Supply chain realignments, geopolitical developments, increasing digitalisation of trade processes and new compliance frameworks have changed the landscape for businesses engaged in cross-border trade. At the same time, India has accelerated several initiatives aimed at improving Ease of Doing Business, introducing online systems, digital documentation processes and streamlined regulatory frameworks to support exporters and importers.
Insightful panel
In this rapidly evolving environment, businesses often face questions around compliance requirements, risk management, financial support mechanisms, and adapting to new trade policies and schemes. The panel discussion aims to address these concerns by offering a platform where experts can share insights, perspectives and practical experiences.
The session will explore the current compliance environment for exporters and importers, highlighting the importance of adapting to digital trade systems, regulatory updates and evolving documentation processes. Representatives from export promotion bodies, financial institutions and industry organisations will discuss how businesses can effectively navigate these changes while maintaining compliance and operational efficiency.
Beyond immediate compliance challenges, the panel will also deliberate on strategic approaches for the future of international trade. The discussion will focus on identifying both short-term strategies to manage present trade dynamics and long-term approaches that businesses can adopt to remain competitive in global markets. From financial risk management and export credit support to policy awareness and digital trade facilitation, the session aims to provide a holistic perspective on the evolving trade ecosystem.
For participants attending CTL-BHP 2026, this panel discussion offers an opportunity to gain valuable insights directly from institutions that actively support India’s export-import community. The interactive format will help attendees understand practical challenges, emerging opportunities and forward-looking strategies that can help businesses navigate the complexities of international trade.
As India continues to strengthen its presence in global commerce, conversations that connect policy, practice and strategy will play a key role in shaping the future of trade. This panel discussion promises to be a valuable forum for such meaningful exchange and insight.
