"Today, international funds are especially viewing India as a very important destination - Devendra Fadnavis"

New Delhi, Jan 20

Some prominent Indian CEOs from India are likely to join a select group of 146 global corporate leaders for a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos on Wednesday.

India's tech and industrial leaders, including Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran, Wipro CEO Srini Pallia, Bharti Enterprises Founder Sunil Bharti Mittal and Infosys CEO Salil Parekh, are set to attend the high-level session during the WEF, according to a report in NDTV Profit.

The meeting occurs amid the US-India trade deal negotiations which are expected to lift market sentiments.

Recent developments have indicated that relations between the two countries about the trade deal negotiations have softened, and an announcement could be just around the corner.

Trump is among the marquee attendees of the World Economic Forum in Davos this year, alongside the likes of JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Meanwhile, Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, had made a strong pitch for global investors towards opportunities in India's clean and green energy sector at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.

The minister highlighted India's proven ability to scale solar, wind, green hydrogen and energy storage in a focused discussion with Charles Emond, President and CEO, and COO Sarah Bouchard of Canada-based La Caisse, on strengthening long-term climate and clean energy investments in India.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that international investors are increasingly looking at India as an important investment destination, offering vast opportunities across sectors. Speaking on the sidelines of the WEF summit, he said global funds are showing strong confidence in India's growth story.

"Today, international funds are especially viewing India as a very important destination, and we have many opportunities," he mentioned. "Investments are coming in from diverse sectors, and several discussions are currently underway with international companies and investors," Fadnavis stated.

He added that once these talks are finalised in Davos, they will be taken forward in India for implementation.

Interesting to see the focus on green energy too. Minister Joshi's pitch is crucial. India has massive potential in solar and wind, and attracting global investment there is smart for long-term growth and energy security.

Hope the discussions lead to concrete outcomes that benefit the common person. Sometimes these high-profile meetings feel like photo-ops. We need jobs and technology transfer, not just announcements.

Having our business leaders on a global stage like this is a matter of pride. Chandrasekaran and Mittal are respected worldwide. This softens the image and builds trust, which is half the battle in international deals.

CM Fadnavis is right about investor confidence. The macroeconomic stability compared to other emerging markets is a huge draw. The key is to ensure the investments are spread beyond just a couple of states.

Good to see the trade deal talks are back on track. A fair deal is important for both sides. We have a lot to offer in tech services, and they have capital and tech. Win-win if negotiated well. Fingers crossed!
