Sammy Kotwani, President of the Indian Business Alliance, emphasized the strength of the 25-year strategic partnership, noting that despite shifting geopolitical dynamics, the India–Russia bond has remained resilient and mutually beneficial.

The experts also pointed to rapidly expanding bilateral trade, which has now crossed $70 billion, driven primarily by energy cooperation, defence supplies and new investments. Looking ahead, the panel highlighted vast opportunities for collaboration in innovation, technology, digital ecosystems, and high-skill manufacturing, areas expected to shape the next phase of the partnership.

The conversation sets the stage for President Putin’s high-profile visit, where discussions on defence, energy, technology and long-term strategic alignment are expected to take centre stage.
