Yesterday, top leadership from Invest India met with some of NICCI’s corporate tier members in Oslo. In light of the EFTA desk opening three days ago, we discussed collaboration to boost investments in India. How to ease India entry for Norwegian companies. Good for our member companies, good for India.
So, what are the typical win-win sectors? Green energy, digital services, AI, shipbuilding and Aero are great examples where Norwegian expertise meets exceptional growth in India.
Did we discuss areas of exponential growth opportunities? Yes, we did. How about AI-driven industrial expansion, a rapidly growing EV market, and private equity driving innovation in startups and SMEs?
…We believe the time to act is now.
A big thanks to Nivruti Rai, CEO of Invest India, Sidharth Narayanan, Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy Officer at Invest India, and Acquino Vimal, Ambassador of India to Norway, for all the enthusiasm and energy. Also, a special thanks to our member DLA Piper for hosting this impactful roundtable.
Representing NICCI: Board members Erlend Sannes Hadland (NHO), Avanish Verma (Pixii), and CEO Trond Skundberg (session moderator) – along with representatives from NICCI corporate member companies as DNV, Larsen & Toubro, DNB Bank, Simplifai, DLA Piper, Tata Communications and ICICI Bank.
NICCI takes a multi-step approach to its activities, driving concrete programs that combine various initiatives. Plans were discussed, and actions set in motion.
So… to be continued!
