Marketing would play a huge role if the region was to tap this potential, according to Ramesh Jude Thomas, president and chief knowledge officer, Equitor Management Consulting, Bangalore.
He was addressing the inaugural session of a two-day conference on international marketing in Asia Pacific – issues and challenges - 2013 organised here from Thursday by GRD Institute of Management and GRD School of Commerce and International Business.
