One of the key areas is related to “migration”. Speaking at the occasion, Dr. A. Didar Singh, Secretary General of the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), mentioned that globalisation is not a new phenomenon, rather it is happening since 5000 years. One of the key drivers of this globalisation has always been “human movement”. However, the intensity of globalisation and human movement has grown last few decades.  He said Interdependence is most important of today’s globalised world. No company, no country, no institution can work in isolation. T
