India's New Trade Calculus
Give feedback
How should businesses navigate a global trading order if the old rules no longer apply?
The rules of global trade that Indian companies have lived with for decades are being rewritten. US tariff policy has shifted sharply. The WTO is no longer the backstop it once was. At the same time, India is in the middle of its most important FTA moment in years, with major agreements with the EU and UK, smaller ones with Oman and New Zealand, negotiations with the US, and a wider bilateral architecture beginning to reshape how Indian companies compete.
For CXOs, this is no longer a distant macro issue. It now sits inside sourcing decisions, market strategy and pricing, Companies that understand the shift early will be better placed to protect margins and build resilience. Those that treat it as a policy debate may find themselves exposed.
In this session, Professor Deepanshu Mohan will explain what is driving this reset in global trade, from the weakening of multilateral rules to the China+1 opportunity and the political economy behind India’s policy choices. He will look at FTAs as practical business questions. Which sectors benefit? What does FTA-readiness actually mean for a company? Where are the risks for firms that are unprepared?
This is an essential session for CXOs because trade policy is now directly linked to competitiveness. It affects where companies source from, where they sell, how they price and how they manage compliance. The session will help participants move beyond awareness to judgment.
