At the same time the events are being held in Scotland we will be hosting sports fans from across the world at our pop-up "House of Asia".

The House of Asia will feature Asian and Scottish entertainment. There will be food and drink with an Asian flavour. And with both public and VIP spaces it will be an ideal venue for business networking and trade and investment talks.

Thanks to Virgin Atlantic, LeapFrog Investments and University of Edinburgh Business School, Asia Scotland Institute is delighted to welcome Vikram Singh Mehta, Executive Chairman of Brookings India and a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Mr Mehta is a former Chairman of the Shell Group of Companies in India. He received Asia House's "Businessmen of the Year" award in 2010. He writes regular columns in the Indian Express and the Financial Express. A networking reception will follow his talk.

Mr Mehta's visit is timely, coming just a few weeks after India's historic parliamentary election which saw the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) score an absolute majority for the first time.

India's new prime minster, Narendra Modi, has vowed to accelerate economic growth and promised Indians that "good times are coming".

Vikram Singh Mehta's 20 June presentation is titled: “India’s Election. The BJP’s landslide – A Seismic Change or More of the Same? A detailed analysis of the prospects for business and investors in the new environment.”

Don't forget to sign up for the event if you're in Edinburgh this week !
