| | | | India has begun formulating the Terms of Reference for a proposed bilateral trade agreement with the US, aiming to finalize the initial phase of negotiations by fall 2025. | | | | | India’s venture capital sector rebounded in 2024, with funding rising to US$13.7 billion. This resurgence was driven by economic strength, regulatory reforms, and tech sector growth, setting the stage for stronger deal activity in 2025. | | | | | India’s technology industry is undergoing a structural shift in hiring patterns. This change is driven by evolving business models, the growth of Global Capability Centers (GCCs), and the rising impact of artificial intelligence. | | | | | India’s service sector, contributing over half of the country’s Gross Value Added, saw a sharp growth surge in February 2025. This growth was driven by rising domestic and global demand, underpinned by advancements in technology, infrastructure, and workforce development. | | | | | The US's move to impose "reciprocal tariffs" from April 2, 2025, could significantly impact India’s key export sectors and ongoing trade deal talks. To counter potential trade disruptions and higher export costs, India is preparing improved tariff cut offers, while also exploring strategic diplomacy and market diversification to protect its trade interests. |
