How will the US CEO Forum enhance India-US tech partnership?

Technology collaboration, especially today, has become a cornerstone of modern bilateral engagement, shaping innovation strategies and driving economic outcomes. India and the US share one of the most vital and forward-looking tech partnerships globally and Nasscom has played a key role in advancing this relationship.

The launch of the US CEO Forum deepens the collaboration. Designed as a sustained leadership platform, the Forum brings together CEOs, stakeholders from government, industry, investment, academia and Indian diaspora to strengthen the India-US tech corridor. It supports the broader ambition of advancing trade and innovation ties. This further aligns with the $500 billion bilateral trade goal outlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump and highlights the Indian tech sector's critical role in achieving it.

Will it help position Indian tech as a vital contributor to America's growth story?
