From a new location in Davos, which once housed the famous Piano Bar, Team India has delivered a powerful message just before the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. The message is simple and direct: partner with Bharat and subscribe to the future.
India Pavilion Showcases Investment and Technology
The India Pavilion stands prominently on the snow-covered main promenade of the Swiss ski resort town. It strongly emphasizes investment opportunities and technological collaboration. This theme resonates across the event, with industry bodies and corporate India echoing the same call to action.
The Confederation of Indian Industry is pitching a similar line at its own pavilion. They urge global partners to team up with India Inc for a reliable and prosperous future, as reported by news agency PTI.
Indian IT Giants Highlight AI Dominance
As the five-day global conclave kicks off on Monday, Indian IT majors have established their own pavilions and lounges. Artificial intelligence emerges as the dominant theme across these setups.
Wipro and TCS have lounges facing each other across the promenade. Infosys, HCL Tech, and Tech Mahindra are located nearby. There is even a dedicated AI lounge, positioned alongside traditional tea and coffee stalls.
Wipro positions itself around the concept of "AI and beyond." TCS highlights its strategy of embedding AI across every service it delivers, according to PTI reports.
Strong Indian Delegation in Davos
More than 100 Indian CEOs are present in Davos this year. They are joined by a large government delegation, showcasing India's collective strength on the global stage.
Several Indian states have also set up pavilions to showcase their unique investment opportunities. These states include:
- Andhra Pradesh
- Karnataka
- Maharashtra
- Madhya Pradesh
- Jharkhand
- Uttar Pradesh
- Kerala
- Telangana
Senior Union ministers such as Ashwini Vaishnaw, Pralhad Joshi, and K Rammohan Naidu are expected to participate actively in the meeting. They will hold important bilateral discussions with global counterparts.
Chief ministers including Devendra Fadnavis, N Chandrababu Naidu, Mohan Yadav, Hemant Soren, and Himanta Biswa Sarma will promote their respective states to international investors. They aim to attract global capital and partnerships.
India Generates Considerable Interest
While US President Donald Trump remains the biggest draw at this year's summit, India is also generating significant interest among attendees. The country's robust economic growth and technological advancements make it a key player at the forum.
Overall, more than 3,000 global leaders are attending the 56th annual meeting in Davos. The event is being held under the theme "a spirit of dialogue," as per PTI. This spirit of dialogue aligns perfectly with India's message of partnership and collaboration for a shared future.
