A step towards greater triumphs

It’s hard to believe that Twenty20 was born less than five years ago. Today, test cricket faces eclipse. It goes to show that projects of great moment seize their chance

This month India Business Law Journal celebrates its second anniversary. It has tracked the nation’s legal and economic development for 24 months, and looking back, as with India and its programme of economic reform, there has never been any doubt of the project prevailing.

“The journal stands out in its league,” says Diljeet Titus, managing partner of Titus & Co. “Each of your stories has been marvellous,” adds Pravin Anand, managing partner of IP boutique Anand and Anand. The journal is “an excellent magazine and we are proud to be associated with it,” he says.

Our second anniversary comes at a time when India faces the prospect of a new era with the swearing in of its new government. The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance’s increased majority in the Lok Sabha and release from the grip of its communist coalition partners holds out the promise of stable governance and a reformist agenda (Congress given a second chance). Expectations are high. However, the challenges facing the new administration are daunting, not least in the arena of commercial law.
