Mr. Shinha has been practicing supporting business connecting India and Japan as the president of a business consultancy. His lecture on the day had an overview ranging from India's present status, history, culture, philosophy, politics, economy to education, and the possibility of business development in both nations. According to his views, though the nature of both countries are in contrast to each other and it may show some difficulties for exchanging business, the both could be complementary to each other. Especially in the field of energy, infrastructure, medical service, education, manufacturing, it is highly possible to work together as a partner.
