"India's demographic dividend can also benefit the industries in Tatarstan by skilled migration and capacity building. The opening of the Indian Consulate in Kazan will further boost India-Tatarstan ties," the Indian diplomat stressed during the forum.

He also toured the TIME India-Russia Business Forum exhibition along with Prime Minister of Tatarstan, Aleksei Pesoshin.

Opening an Indian Consulate in Kazan is a smart move. Will definitely help Indian businesses and students in that region. Russia has been our reliable partner for decades, good to see the relationship expanding beyond defense.

As someone working in international trade, I appreciate how India is strategically building regional partnerships. The focus on specific industrial corridors shows practical thinking rather than just high-level talks.

Cricket match and Indian movies along with business discussions - that's the perfect Indian way to build relationships! 🏏 Cultural exchanges create stronger bonds than just formal diplomacy.

While I appreciate the international outreach, I hope we're also focusing on making Ayush more accessible and affordable within India first. Sometimes we promote our traditions abroad while many Indians can't afford proper Ayurvedic treatments at home.

The Centre for Indian Studies at Kazan University is a brilliant long-term investment. When foreign students study our culture and systems, it creates lasting goodwill and understanding. More such centers needed worldwide!
