India’s rise in a fragmented world sets the stage for the Horasis India Meeting in Singapore

In an increasingly fragmented world economy, global alignment has become both an opportunity and a risk. Accelerating advances in artificial intelligence, strained supply chains, and persistent geopolitical tensions are redrawing the rules of international business. In this environment, developments in one market now reverberate almost instantly across borders.

Against this backdrop of uncertainty, India is emerging as a stabilizing force. The country has positioned itself as a long-term growth engine, backed by a surge in manufacturing capacity and a rapidly expanding consumer economy. Recent commitments totaling $52.5 billion from Amazon and Microsoft over the next five years underscore growing confidence in India’s role as a strategic partner in the global economy.

This context gives particular relevance to the Horasis India Meeting, scheduled for December 15–16, 2026, in Singapore. Organized in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Global Schools Group (GSG), the meeting will bring together senior business leaders, policymakers, and global thinkers to examine India’s evolving international footprint.

The choice of Singapore as host city is far from incidental. Long regarded as a financial and innovation hub, the city-state serves as a critical gateway between India and the ASEAN region. Its deep-rooted economic ties with India—across technology, infrastructure, and investment—make it a natural venue for strategic dialogue.

Recent remarks by Jamie Dimon, President of JPMorgan, who described Singapore’s economic leadership as “staggering,” highlight the city’s growing influence as a global business anchor.

A platform for global collaboration

The Horasis India Meeting has established itself as a leading forum for dialogue between Indian enterprises and the international business community. This year’s edition is expected to host CEOs from more than 250 Indian and global companies, alongside ministers, regulators, and policy architects.

Discussions will center on how India’s rise can reinforce global value chains, unlock cross-sector innovation, and support more sustainable growth models. Participants include senior figures such as Fahim Hashimy, former Afghan Minister of Communications and IT; Gulu Lalvani, Chairman of Royal Phuket Marina; Mike Bhaskaran, Group COO of DP World; Murali Krishna Gannamani, CEO of Fluentgrid; and Suruchii Suresh Gupta, Founder and CEO of GIANT Protocol.

As the world navigates a period of economic realignment, the Horasis India Meeting aims to position India not only as a success story, but as a bridge between regions—particularly between South Asia and Southeast Asia—shaping the next phase of global cooperation.
