Samfundet i Trondheim inviterer til møte om India. India er et av verdens mest mangfoldige og multietniske land. Når du tenker på India, tenker du kanskje på Tikka Masala og Butter Chicken. Det er kanskje ikke så rart, for vi hører generelt lite om India i media. Men visste du at India blir omtalt som verdens største demokrati? At India har passert Kina i befolkningstall? Og at landet har vært styrt av samme parti og statsminister siden 2014?Lørdag 7. september inviterte Samfundet til et dypdykk inn i indisk politikk, hvor vi tar for oss alt fra sosial ulikhet, til økende hindunasjonalisme og anti-muslimsk retorikk, til et demokrati, en religionsfrihet og en ytringsfrihet under press. For hva er det egentlig som rokker seg innad i verdens mest folkerike land? For å svare på dette har de invitert professor emeritus i samfunnsøkonomi og India-entusiast, Karl “Kalle” Moene, samt forfatter, grunnlegger av Det Moderne India, og tidligere ISFiT president, Rina Sunder. Samtalen var ledet av Borghild Rauø.

What are India's ambitions within the circular economy, specifically in the waste and water sectors?2. How do existing regulations and other policy instruments help bring India closer to achieving these ambitions, and are there areas that need adjustment?3. How do we see Indo-Norwegian cooperation projects helping to advance India's innovation and ambitions?We look forward to continuing this important dialogue and exploring how we can work together to create sustainable solutions!

By Adam Turteltaub Providence is a US-based healthcare system with over 165 years of history behind it. But, the Providence Global Center in India started just in 2020. It was founded as an engineering and operations hub and has a startup culture. Anitha Vittal, Head, Risk and Compliance, was charged with getting the program off the ground. To get things started she first spent time talking with staff. Happily, she learned that attitudes towards compliance were very positive. While each person may have had a different definition of compliance, there was an eagerness for guidance and, for some, to have others responsible for managing the many legal and regulatory requirements. After considering how to make the program effective and relevant, she ultimately decided to leverage the start-up culture and position compliance differently. Instead of speaking of it as a control, she positioned it as a way to make each endeavor successful. This approach includes three key elements: Each new hire, as part of their two-day orientation, is given a thirty-minute introduction to the compliance program featuring an engaging story-telling approach A compliance champions network Encouraging a speak-up culture In addition, the risk assessment results were characterized in a new way, with each area labeled either “asking for help”, “may need help in the future”, or “no help needed”. Using this nomenclature, she found, was much more successful at providing dimension to risk areas. Looking to the future, 2023 plans include embedding compliance into the organization's DNA, exploring opportunities for insourcing resources, and leveraging technology to enhance productivity and bring efficiencies. Listen in to learn more about what she and Providence are doing.
