Ambassador Rahul Chhabra

As geopolitical competition intensifies & supply chains realign, the India-U.S. partnership has emerged as one of the most consequential bilateral relationships of the 21st century.

The talk explores how democratic values, economic complementarities, and shared security interests are reshaping global prosperity. It also addresses policy friction tariffs, market access, regulatory regimes and how mature partnerships navigate complexity. Ideal for business leaders, policymakers, & academic audiences seeking clarity on how India-U.S. ties influence global markets, innovation ecosystems, & geopolitical stability.
