When Geopolitics Hits the P&L
Give feedback
How do geopolitics impact your business?
From the return of Trump-era tariffs and their ripple effects across Asia, to escalating tensions in the Gulf involving Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE, geopolitics is once again reshaping the global economic order. In this session, Pramit Pal Chaudhuri unpacks the geopolitical forces that matter most to Indian business leaders today. The discussion will examine India’s foreign policy posture, including the strategic implications of recent FTAs and India’s evolving relationships with Japan and Canada. It will also assess how developments in India’s immediate neighbourhood—particularly Pakistan and Bangladesh could influence labour mobility, supply chains and regional stability.
