The Indian Prime Minister’s September 2019 US visit, which concludes with an address to the UN General Assembly, is historic in many ways but there is a lot of real groundwork required to build on it and create a win-win India-US trade and investment partnership. The optics could not be any better – a first-of-its-kind and largest mass rally for a foreign leader in the southern American state of Texas, with President Donald Trump seen hand-in-hand with the visiting Indian [...]

The recent Lockheed Martin deal illustrates how the new defence policy is changing common perceptions and paving way for India to become a strategic defence partner for the US. In early April, the US State Department approved the sale of 24 Sikorsky MH-60R multi-mission helicopters to India in a $2.6 billion deal that will significantly improve India’s naval firepower. These Lockheed Martin-built helicopters are designed for hunting submarines as well as knocking out ships and conducting search-and-rescue operations at sea. [...]

Trump’s US vs Brexit-hit UK: Indian professionals can take control

The US imposing increasingly stringent visa norms is in stark contrast to moves across the Atlantic, with the UK gradually moving towards a quota-free system for skilled professionals. The ease of movement of skilled professionals across borders lies at the heart of globalisation but remains one of the most contentious issues when it comes to striking trade deals or any cross-country alliances. Indeed, it was the concept of free movement of people that is believed to have swung the vote [...]

There is now unprecedented alignment on security between India and the US, the same needs to happen on trade, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. The unprecedented US support for India and its right to self-defence following the Pulwama terrorist attack last month, has highlighted how far the relationship has come between the two previously wary partners. There has been significant strategic alignment on defence and geopolitical matters. This is hugely encouraging. But the picture changes quite dramatically [...]

An immigration expert runs through some of the hurdles in the path of skilled Indians planning to work in the US and looks beyond the H1-B visa to some lesser-known schemes. Most highly skilled Indians looking to move to the United States are familiar with the H1-B visa for specialty workers. Yet fewer know about another more reliable and less time-consuming pathway: the EB-5 Investor Visa programme. Nearly three quarters of all the H1-B visas set aside for highly-skilled migrants [...]

A strategic expert looks back at the first-ever India-US 2+2 Dialogue to analyse its long-term impact on bilateral relations. In the end, it was the strategic logic of the bilateral partnership that was on display at the Indo-US 2+2 talks. The ‘transactionalism’ of the Trump Administration, of much concern to many in India, was relegated to the margins, and for good reason, and at least for the time being, Washington and New Delhi can hail the upward momentum in the [...]

The US-India economic relationship is built on bilateral investment, writes an American investment strategist. The economic partnership between the United States and India is a blueprint for economic prosperity. Expanding bilateral trade and investment between the United States and our allies is a top priority of the Trump administration, and few countries exemplify this better than India. Together, our two countries are forming the foundation of the global economy in the 21st century. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross recently announced [...]

The US President's high stakes game of global poker threatens to derail some of the hard work done on India-US relations, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. It was only last week that US President Donald Trump praised India in glowing terms, calling it a free society of a billion-plus people that has successfully pulled millions out of poverty. A week later, India is the “tariff king” that imposes high import duties on US products and, having been caught out by [...]
