INDIA ECONOMIC CONCLAVE 2025: NAVIGATING GEOECONOMICS

In an era of shifting power equations and economic realignments, India finds itself not just participating in the global conversation but often setting it in motion. Its policy choices - from trade and technology to energy and geopolitics are creating ripples that major economies, including the US and China, must respond to.

This fusion of power and policy is what defines “geoeconomics.” And today, India is not merely reacting to global change — it is catalysing it. With its blend of economic dynamism, digital innovation, and diplomatic balance, India is shaping global reactions, redrawing alliances, and redefining the contours of global geoeconomics.
