Coming on the day Donald Trump would be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States (US), Birla, 57, said that he saw the Trump factor reshaping geopolitics.

"The Trump factor has significant implications for the global economy and business. I remain confident the strength of the India-US relationship will continue to grow in the years to come," Birla said while adding that it was wise to "Never bet against America", a point made by investor Warren Buffet.
