The Chair on India and Emerging Asia Economics focuses on strengthening the economic relationship between the United States, India, and other Asian partners. According to CSIS, the program conducts research on state-level political and economic developments in India, business engagement, and issues related to U.S. economic security. It also publishes the India States Weekly newsletter, which tracks regulatory and policy developments across India's 28 states.

The program is led by Richard M. Rossow, Senior Adviser and Chair on India and Emerging Asia Economics, who has headed the initiative since joining CSIS in 2014.

Before joining CSIS, Goswamy founded the Washington Forum on India (WFI), a student-led research and advisory organization focused on U.S.-India relations with chapters at four American universities. He also served as an analyst in the office of Lokesh Nara, a state minister for information technology and electronics in India.

His previous experience includes research positions with the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) in its Foreign and Defense Policy Studies department and the Hudson Institute, where he worked on foreign policy and strategic affairs.



Goswamy earned a bachelor's degree in international affairs and history from The George Washington University. His undergraduate thesis examined India's political and military strategy around the Malacca Strait, earning him the university's Sigelman Research Award.

A CSIS job listing for the position described the role as combining policy research, program management, strategic communications, and engagement with Indian states. It also sought expertise in areas including power grids, energy efficiency, energy storage, and electric mobility, along with proficiency in Hindi and prior fieldwork experience in India.

The Chair's recent work has included research on India's economic reforms, state-level policy developments, and discussions on the Quad, reflecting CSIS's broader focus on the strategic and economic dimensions of the U.S.-India partnership.
