Mallya, who bought the Spyker team this year, will talk about India's potential to become one of Formula One's biggest markets following the confirmation that will host a Grand Prix in 2010.

He will also talk about his plans for the Formula One team.

"A great many top executives from the world of global motor sport will be in Monaco at the beginning of December to attend the Motor Sport Business Forum and the FIA Prize Giving Gala," said Mallya.

"From a business point of view, Monaco in early December is therefore the ideal place and time to introduce the Force India F1 concept to the great and good of the global motor sport industry."

Other lecturers in the Forum include FIA president Max Mosley, BMW motorsport boss Mario Theissen, Toyota motorsport president John Howett, Honda Racing CEO Nick Fry and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.

The event takes place on 5-6 December at the Grimaldi Conference and Exhibiton in Monaco.
