Therefore, this course is also recommended for anyone who wants to do business with Indian enterprises from anywhere in the world or who wants to work in a company of Hindu origin.

Hindu Civilization defines the Hindu Economic Area, whose central state is India, but which extends to Asia and Africa.

For this reason, the main Economic Organizations operating within the Hindu economic area are also analyzed, such as the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, Bay of Bengal Initiative, Asian Clearing Union, SASEC or Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement.

As well as the Free Trade Agreements of India with Sri Lanka, ASEAN, Thailand, Singapore, Chile, MERCOSUR, Andean Community, South Korea, European Union, New Zealand, Mauritius, European Free Trade Association (EFTA), Indonesia, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Canada, Australia, Southern Africa Customs Union...

The course is also aimed at all those who wish to do business in the markets of the Hindu Economic Area (Mauritius, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Indonesia -Bali-).

In Africa, particularly in East Africa, the Hindu influence, in a clear competition with Chinese enterprises, is increasingly important, and it is therefore necessary to know the Framework Agreement for the Africa-India Cooperation.
