As one of the world's fastest growing economies, India offers some remarkable opportunities for American and Indian businesses alike

Richard Verma: US businesses eager to partner with India

Business Standard

We face a formidable set of international challenges, from the freedom of access to shared maritime and air routes, humanitarian crises in an increasingly interconnected world, and the continuing threat from non-state actors and extremist groups.  Moreover, as India rises and becomes more influential, a stable and just international system becomes more important for its prosperity than ever before. Maintaining and expanding this global order will require our collective efforts and our resolve. As I have said before, when India and the United States cooperate, we are stronger together.This idea of "stronger together" is not new to India - one could argue that it was in fact developed in India. I am sure that many of you are familiar with the stories of the Panchatantra, which some scholars argue influenced Aesop's Fables. These amazing stories provide life lessons to children, but also offer sound advice to sophisticated strategic thinkers. One story, which I have recounted to my kids,

As a parent, I look forward to the day when I will watch my children graduate - although we just had a fourth grade graduation last week for our 10-year old, which was pretty emotional, so I'm not sure I can handle thinking about college just yet - but what I do know is how much work, time, sweat and tears are put in by the parents and the families and friends. I know that first hand.The truth is, we need your leadership now more than ever. It's a cliche to say the world is changing rapidly, but it is. You will simultaneously confront huge opportunities as well as tremendous challenges. When I graduated from college, a "tweet" was something a bird would do, a tablet was something you wrote on with a pencil - not an electronic device that could connect you to millions of others. We did not recycle our trash, the world was just awakening from its Cold War slumber, and there were no direct flights from India to the US. Fast forward to today, and you embark from here into a truly inte

The first pillar of our shared democratic values surely is our shared belief in the importance of self-rule and in its offspring, free and fair elections. Everywhere in the world, as citizens united against oppression ultimately gain their freedom, they face a choice about the government they want. The choice they make is rooted in their values. As we know, not all choose democracy.But when the people of India and the people of the US gained their freedom, they designed liberal representative democracies that put freedom of conscience and self-rule above all else. Our peoples both entered into a social contract with one another that said they would be governed by the same set of rules. They agreed to rules-based systems that would be created by democratically elected representatives, enforced by accountable administrations, and interpreted by independent judiciaries.Their choices were not surprising. The American Revolution was steeped in the quest for liberty from tyranny. Our foundin

Delhiites continued to breathe toxic air as the air quality on Friday remained in the severe category, with the 24-hour average Air Quality Index (AQI) of 429.
