DECODING THE US-INDIA PARADIGM

Fortified ties between New Delhi and Washington were the centerpiece of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s three-day visit to the US last month. Both governments resolved long-standing trade disputes and forged new agreements in defense cooperation, technology sharing, and mineral sharing.

What remained off the table during PM Modi’s high-profile addresses was a defined stance on the Russia-Ukraine war and the acrimony with China. India’s bid to become the “factory of the world” did get some space in the dialogues in the context of semiconductor processing and packaging, but the tag remains a far cry. Decode the implications of these developments with our expert panel.
