At a time when global economic balances are shifting, India is emerging as one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing markets worldwide. With a vast consumer base, increasing investments, and strong technological advancement, it presents significant opportunities for businesses seeking international expansion and diversification.
Accessing such a complex market, however, requires a strategic understanding of the tax and regulatory framework, as well as strong connections between business ecosystems. In this context, Cyprus can serve as a gateway, leveraging its geostrategic position and its well-developed professional services sector.
The Professional Services Conference 2026 will take place on 21 April at the Hilton Nicosia, bringing together leading professionals, policymakers, and international experts. The conference aims to highlight the developments shaping the future of professional services and to provide practical insights for navigating an increasingly evolving global environment.

Chrysilios Pelekanos is Head of Indirect Tax Advisory and Head of East Markets & Deputy COO at PwC Cyprus. He is a Fellow Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and holds a degree in Economics from the University of Manchester, as well as a postgraduate degree in Law with a specialization in Taxation. He has served as President of ICPAC and remains an active member of the VAT Committee, contributing to the development of tax policy in Cyprus.
