Had the opportunity to share my perspectives with IANS in London on the India–UK Free Trade Agreement.

As the global economic landscape evolves, India is uniquely positioned to lead with the strength of its democratic institutions, a vast domestic market, world-class infrastructure, resilient supply chains, and exceptional human capital.

The India–UK FTA is more than a trade agreement—it is a strategic partnership that will deepen economic cooperation, foster innovation, and create long-term opportunities for both nations.
