We have seen progress in the Modi Government over the past year with the recent GST reforms and introduction of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. India will continue to see growth with economic reforms such as this one—it’s a virtuous cycle.”
John Chambers, Chairman of USISPF and Chairman Emeritus of Cisco, commented on the policy and said, “This amendment is a great move by the Modi Government and it makes India much more attractive to foreign investors. I applaud the Prime Minister’s leadership in recent reforms and look forward to watching both foreign and Indian companies benefit from this significant leap forward.”

Steps such as FDI reform will encourage foreign investors and allow India to realize its dream of becoming one of the world’s most powerful economies.”
