Date: November 21, 2017
Consulate General of India (Atlanta), in association with KPPB LAW and KNAV recently hosted the ‘India-US Manufacturing Partnership,’ a meet-up of high-powered executives in Atlanta, that explored synergies between Prime Minister Modi's vision of ‘Make in India’ and President Trump Administration’s ‘America First’ policy.

While technology companies have dominated the Indian business presence in the United States, Indian business investments continue to increase in the area of manufacturing.
