India's real GDP inched up to 7.5% in January to March 2015

This is from a revised 6.6% in 3Q.

According to DBS, growth numbers out late last week saw India’s real GDP tick up in Jan-Mar15 (4Q FY14/15) to 7.5% from a downwardly revised 6.6% in 3Q.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
