On 22 January 2021, the India-Vietnam Investment Forum was held in Ho Chi Minh City, jointly hosted by the Indian Consulate General in HCMC, the Private Economic Development Research Board, the Investment & Trade Promotion Centre of HCMC, and VinaCapital Group.

In 2021, Vietnam needs 450,000 IT professionals, but the filled positions currently only reach about 430,000, according to TopDev’s Vietnam IT market report. This creates a huge gap between the demand and supply. Meanwhile, some businesses are facing difficulty recruiting Indian IT engineers because Covid-19 prevents travelling. Vaibhav Saxena, Chairman Vice of Indian Business Chamber in Vietnam shared some thoughts on the shortage and proposed solutions.

INCHAM in partnership with VIETRADE, Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), Asian Development Bank, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), is organising a webinar on India – Mekong SME Internationalization Challenge on 21st May 2021 from 3:00 pm-4:00 pm Vietnam time/1:30 pm- 2:30 pm (IST).
