In his remarks, Mathur underlined what the consulate described as the “strong growth potential” of the Indian economy and the “growing demand for foreign investment.”
He also stressed the scope for expanding business and economic ties between India and international corporate partners in ways that support sustainable development.
The discussions also touched on recent policy and economic developments, including the AI Summit and the India-European Union Free Trade Agreement talks, which participants said were helping sustain global investor interest in India and opening opportunities for sectoral cooperation and job creation.
The consulate said participation by major Chinese companies and global corporations made the conversations “fruitful,” adding that the engagement could help deepen collaboration for “mutual benefit and development.”
The outreach comes as India seeks to position itself as a key investment destination amid global supply-chain diversification and rising interest in sectors such as artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure and advanced manufacturing.
At India’s AI Impact Summit in New Delhi earlier this year, companies announced multi-billion-dollar investments in AI and data infrastructure, including commitments from Reliance Industries, Adani Group, Microsoft and Yotta.
Separately, India and the European Union moved closer to a trade agreement in February after finalizing a draft free trade deal aimed at reducing tariffs and expanding digital and economic cooperation, a step expected to boost India’s appeal to global investors.
