In a significant move to deepen US-India relations, the US Consulate General, Mumbai, in partnership with Amcham India, announced the launch of the Amcham India Pune Chapter. The launch event gathered prominent figures from diverse sectors, including policymakers, business leaders, technocrats, and entrepreneurs, all with a shared goal of promoting collaboration and innovation across industries.
US Consul General Mike Hankey emphasized the importance of US-India economic partnerships. "India and the United States are witnessing a dynamic and resilient trade relationship. With the right partnerships and a focus on innovation, we expect this relationship to reach $500 billion by 2030. Amcham India’s Pune Chapter is ideally positioned to contribute to this shared goal by fostering collaboration and innovation across industries,” Hankey stated.
The chapter aims to stimulate growth in key sectors, including sustainable manufacturing, academic partnerships, and women’s economic empowerment. The event showcased the critical role US businesses play in empowering India's growth, particularly through technology and innovation.
One of the chapter’s key initiatives will focus on enhancing women’s participation in the workforce. “To fully realize India’s potential as a global partner, it is essential to develop an economy that includes all citizens. US companies are setting the bar for women’s economic empowerment, particularly through initiatives in Pune led by firms like John Deere and Cummins, which are driving positive change through skilling and workforce development,” Consul General Hankey added.
The chapter will also emphasize fostering academic and industry partnerships to drive innovation in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and sustainable technologies, which are seen as critical growth areas for both nations.
Hankey also underscored the importance of collaborative policymaking in driving innovation. “Bilateral trade should thrive unburdened by unnecessary regulations. We encourage businesses to be vocal in shaping policies that protect our citizens while allowing industries to flourish,” he remarked.
The establishment of the Amcham Pune Chapter signifies a focus on inclusivity, technological advancements, and sustainable development. By prioritizing innovation and collaboration, the chapter is expected to play a vital role in furthering strategic goals and fostering mutually beneficial partnerships between the two countries.
