The Future of Business Law

Neha Mahyavanshi, Director, Field Compliance Officer- South Asia, SAP India Private Limited, India

The only constant thing in the world is change. We see it all around us. In the seasons that the planet experiences to the pace at which technology is developed replacing the old and making it obsolete. Our world as we experience it today is a result of history. Many aspects that shape our world, in which some of the prominent factors are climate, war, economy, peace and prosperity- all of which are linked intrinsically to the way in which a country or economy grows. When an economy does well because natural factors are aligned in its favour, it flourishes. And with it flourish the lives of the people that belong to that economy. It is better able to command itself over fellow economies and mould the trade systems of the world in its favour. The collective and majority will of its people can reach beyond its borders. As a result, the laws it develops not only help it prosper but ensure that its impact is felt all around the world.
