In a resounding endorsement, top executives from India and the European Union have labeled the fresh India-EU trade pact a pivotal milestone amid global uncertainties.

The buzz was palpable at the Indo-EU Business Forum, where Frank Schlodder of Hapag-Lloyd India hailed the FTA as the culmination of protracted talks. ‘It’s historic, especially as the world grapples with disruptions in international trade norms,’ he remarked, vowing to leverage every advantage the deal offers.

For Italian company Artisana India-Chicco’s CEO Rajosh Vohra, the agreement spells relief and opportunity. ‘Imports and exports will become far less cumbersome, paving the way for innovative business ventures,’ he enthused.

Reflecting on decades of experience, Dixon India Electronics’ Vinod Sharma sees boundless potential. ‘This isn’t merely about market access; it’s about importing advanced tech from Europe and attracting fresh capital into India,’ he said.

Elsevier’s Chairman YS Chi pointed to eased collaborations in trade, skilled talent exchange, and IP protection. ‘The ripple effects will strengthen economies on both sides and contribute to worldwide growth,’ Chi observed.

Business Europe’s Frederik Persson called it perfectly timed. ‘Uniting India’s talent pool with Europe’s tech edge creates immense opportunities in a vast combined marketplace governed by fair rules,’ he said. As optimism swells, industry voices unite in predicting transformative economic synergies from this strategic alliance.
