Innovation, Infrastructure Shape 5th India Trade Conference
Setting the tone for the daylong conference was Consul General of India, N. Parthasarathi, who kicked off the morning keynote session with his perspectives on why the time is ripe to invest in and trade with India. “Please do believe in India’s story. If you have a project, go and find a niche target. If you can just produce a quality product … at a good price, there is an infinite market available,” Parthasarathi said.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for South Asia Holly Vineyard said the next step for India-U.S. relations is to move beyond government-led initiatives and instead foster growth in the private and academia sectors. More on India West
