In a compelling address in San Francisco, SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey positioned India as a beacon for international investment, citing its solid economic foundations and investor-friendly reforms. Speaking at a CII-CGI joint interactive forum attended by venture capital heavyweights and global investors, Pandey outlined how India’s dynamic policies and growing domestic participation are magnetizing foreign funds.
‘India stands tall as an accessible and attractive investment hub,’ Pandey asserted, detailing SEBI’s tech-enabled, consultation-based regulations aimed at easing FPI onboarding and maintaining market integrity. Streamlined re-KYC and digital tools have revolutionized access, complemented by a buoyant IPO landscape and expanding AIF ecosystem.
Pandey painted a picture of economic resilience: moderated inflation rates, fortified foreign exchange reserves, and equilibrium in external accounts propel India among the fastest-expanding major economies. Consul General K. Srikar Reddy reinforced this, spotlighting India’s startup boom and digital prowess, with bilateral trade crossing $240 billion en route to a $500 billion goal by 2030.
CII’s incoming President Ramakrishnan Mukundan called for tripartite partnerships between governments, industries, and investors to drive future growth in innovation and sustainability. The session sparked candid exchanges on regulatory streamlining, cross-border clarity, deep-tech investments, and digital acceleration, signaling robust India-US collaboration ahead.
