"Even if there is re-globalisation, the demographic unevenness is beginning to bite the world. The global workplace does not mean that the talent alone has to move. Businesses can move as well. Even the US under Donald Trump will make a distinction in immigration and mobility," he said while addressing CEOs and business leaders in Sydney.

Mr Jaishankar said India sees a potential acceleration and disruption in the re-ordering of supply chains as an opportunity in the wake of Mr Trump's reelection in the presidential election.

He identified four to five important consequences of the US-India relationship following US election results, including the reordering of supply chains, geopolitical hedging, digitisation, and mobility of talent and skills.
