Regent Group's Dr Selva Pankaj invited to WEF Annual Meeting 2024

Dr Selva Pankaj, Chairman of Regent Group, has been invited to the prestigious World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2024 in Davos, Switzerland, in acknowledgment of the group's notable contributions to education and economic development.

This invitation serves as a testament to Regent Group's impact on education, the economy, and investment, a report on Regent’s website said.


Expressing his enthusiasm, Dr Pankaj said, "We are delighted we are invited to attend Davos next week. REGENT will now attend each year and we will portray education, economy, and investment based on our values – the end result of education is character."

This declaration underscores Regent Group's dedication to instilling character development within its educational framework, highlighting the pivotal role of education in shaping not only skilled professionals but also individuals of strong character.

The WEF Annual Meeting in Davos is globally recognised for convening leaders to address pressing issues, including economic growth, environmental sustainability, and technological innovation.

The 2024 meeting's focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) aligns with Regent Group's forward-thinking approach. Dr Pankaj's participation presents an opportunity to contribute to global discussions on leveraging AI in education to drive innovation and ethical considerations in the economy.

Dr Pankaj's presence at Davos also underscores Regent Group's strides in the investment sector, particularly in education technology, where AI plays a pivotal role.

The Group's initiatives in integrating technology with traditional learning methods set benchmarks for creating more accessible, efficient, and personalised educational experiences.

This resonates with the WEF's agenda to discuss the integration of AI in improving societal outcomes, including education.

Furthermore, Dr Pankaj's attendance provides a platform to showcase Regent Group's unique perspective on how education influences economic development and investment strategies.

By prioritising character development and ethical grounding, Regent Group emphasises the importance of nurturing responsible leaders and entrepreneurs contributing positively to the global economy.

Dr Selva Pankaj's participation in the WEF Annual Meeting 2024 not only recognises Regent Group's achievements but also serves as a platform to engage in meaningful conversations about the intersection of education, economy, and investment in the modern world.

It reinforces the Group's belief that the essence of education extends beyond knowledge acquisition to character-building, shaping individual destinies and the global economic landscape.

Chittagong’s Bay Terminal project aims to expand port capacity and boost export efficiency

World Bank backs upgrade of Bangladesh port

BANGLADESH and the World Bank last Wednesday (23) signed two financing agreements worth $850 million (£634.1m) to strengthen the country’s trade capacity, create jobs, and modernise its social protection system, the Washington-based global lender said.

The bulk of the funding – a sum of $650m (£484.8m) – will support the Bay Terminal Marine Infrastructure Development Project, an initiative to expand and modernise port facilities in the southeastern district of Chittagong. The project will include constructing a 6-km (3.7-mile) climate-resilient breakwater and access channels, allowing the port to accommodate larger vessels. This is expected to sharply reduce turnaround times, lower transportation costs, and boost Bangladesh’s export competitiveness.

India’s media and entertainment industry could hit £80 billion mark by 2035, says Mukesh Ambani

India’s entertainment industry, already a powerful force, is now being seen as a serious engine for economic growth and not just culture. At the WAVES 2025 summit in Mumbai, Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani painted a clear picture: what is today a £22 billion (£1.83 lakh crore) industry could cross £80 billion (£6.67 lakh crore) in the next decade. But he says this growth will not happen on its own, it needs the right backing.

Ambani is not talking about small steps. He envisions India building advanced content hubs across the country, supporting creators with world-class training in animation, visual effects, gaming, and AI-led storytelling tools. In his words, this could unlock millions of jobs, spark new businesses, and bring global attention to Indian content.

AIR INDIA expects to face around $600 million (£480m) in additional costs if a ban from Pakistan's airspace lasts for a year, and has asked the federal government to compensate it for the hit, a company letter seen by Reuters shows.

Indian airlines are bracing for higher fuel costs and longer journey times after Pakistan shut its airspace to the country's carriers in a tit-for-tat retaliation following an attack on tourists in Kashmir last week.
