Data, Climate Change Are Biggest Headaches for India Businesses: Bloomberg Study

Data-related risks and unpredictable weather patterns have emerged as some of the biggest concerns for Indian business leaders steering their companies through an increasingly volatile economic environment, a new study found.

About 91% of the respondents in a survey, commissioned by Bloomberg LP, said they found it easier to manage traditional risks compared to newer “non-linear risks” — characterized by their unpredictability, extent and ability to disrupt businesses. Environment, data-led, reputational and regulation risks were pinned down as the “non-linear” threats in the survey, which polled 300 top executives from technology, services, travel, manufacturing, and retail industry.
