        The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UK between April 17 and 20 was billed as an “unprecedented” affair within diplomatic circles. Modi went on to hold not just one but two meetings with his British counterpart, Theresa May, before they went into the formal deliberations as part of the multilateral Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). The Indian PM, who arrived in the UK from Sweden after the first-ever India-Nordic Summit, was among only a handful of [...]

              2018-12-31T12:00:37+00:00September 19th, 2017|2018/2017, India Investment Journal September Edition, State Focus: Karnataka, Year|

              With its tremendous untapped potential, Karnataka is an appealing locus for French companies. France and India have always been very close. The ties between our two countries have nevertheless been strengthened over the years: whether it be culture, defence, the economy, education, politics or science, our relationship has now grown into a full-scale partnership. While our bilateral trade in goods is expected to come near the $10 billion mark this year (€8.6 billion in 2016), it bears reminding that our [...]

                Brexit: The Dawn of ‘Globalisation 2.0’

                2018-12-31T13:33:46+00:00July 17th, 2017|2018/2017, Guest Columns, India Investment Journal July Edition, Year|

                The notion of globalisation is not under threat as a result of Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, writes a senior academic. A day after the crucial Brexit Vote, it seemed the world had opened its eyes to a new world. An island within Europe had willingly decided to split from the European Union (EU) forever. Soon after, while there was opposition and emotional outcry by people who were not observant of current realities. Brexit isn’t as surprising as [...]

                  India-Israel: Past tense, future perfect

                  2018-08-02T10:16:51+00:00June 15th, 2017|2017/2018, Cover Story, June 2017, Year|

                  When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Israel in July, not only will he be bringing the otherwise warm relationship between the two countries out of the closet, he will also be marking the 25th anniversary of the establishment of formal and full-fledged diplomatic relations between the two countries. Modi’s visit, the first by an Indian Prime Minister to Israel, also marks the decisive de-hyphening of the relationship with India’s traditional support for the Palestine cause. Modi will not be [...]

                    India-Israel relations on a very good wicket

                    The Indian Ambassador based in Tel Aviv, Pavan Kapoor, is well-placed to provide some context to Narendra Modi’s historic visit to Israel in July – the first by an Indian Prime Minister. Please give us an overview of where Indo-Israel ties stand. I think India-Israel relations are on a very good wicket, at the political and economic level and also the cultural and people to people level. We have not had this scale of high level contact between the two [...]

                      In defence of a strategic Make in India policy

                      2019-01-02T07:28:07+00:00May 26th, 2017|2018/2017, India Investment Journal May Edition, Last Word, Year|

                      The Strategic Partnership Policy (SPP) could throw open deals worth over $20bn to six selected private sector companies in India. India’s defence forces will get their first fighter jets, submarines, helicopters and armoured vehicles made in India by the private sector within a few years. And it is entirely probable that friendly foreign countries could also be using some of these Made in India weapon systems. In a major boost to private sector participation in offensive defence platforms, the defence [...]
