India and the US are making strides in climate change mitigation and energy transition. These initiatives aim to create a better planet and generate green jobs, said Jorgan K. Andrews, Deputy Chief of Mission of the US Embassy.
The summit, organized by the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce on September 24, 2024, focused on strengthening ties. The theme was 'Building Bridges, Shaping Futures: Pioneering Pathways for 21st Century Growth.'
Andrews emphasized that if climate change issues aren't solved, it could severely impact the prosperity of both nations. The partnership is vital for reducing emissions and creating sustainable growth.
Strengthened India-US ties benefit both countries, especially after recent talks between PM Modi and President Biden. The fast-growing partnership is yielding mutual advantages in various sectors.
Andrews announced that next week’s India-US Commercial Dialogue will be co-chaired by Piyush Goyal and Gina Raimondo. The forum will foster government and private sector collaboration for further economic growth.
Dr. Abhay Sinha highlighted that the US is a major market for India’s $350 billion in services exports. Both nations are working on creating synergies in the services and manufacturing sectors.
The 8th Business Leadership Awards honored industry leaders, including Dr. Lalit Khaitan (Business Leader of the Century) and Ashok Chaturvedi (Business Leader of the Decade), recognizing their contributions to economic growth.
