Invest India
The US India Chamber of Commerce works closely with Invest India, the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency of India. Invest India acts as the first point of reference for investors in India.
Invest India focuses on sector-specific investor targeting and development of new partnerships to enable sustainable investments. In addition to a core team focused on sustainable investments, Invest India partners with subnational investment promotion agencies and multilateral organizations.
Invest India also actively works with several Indian states to build capacity and bring in global best practices in investment targeting, promotion, and facilitation.
Make in India
In 2014, the Indian government launched a manufacturing initiative to provide foreign companies with access to Indian labor markets and manufacturers while simultaneously accessing Indian and other South Asian markets through the Make in India program.
Seeking to increase India's technological expertise and manufacturing abilities, this program was envisioned and launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to encourage global markets to work with India in 25 different sectors, from food processing to leather manufacturing.
Through the systematic process laid out in the Make in India initiative, US-based companies can access Indian opportunities. The Chamber works with member companies to access Indian and South Asian markets through this initiative.
