Now more than ever, it is critical to bring the best of government and the private sector together to address today’s challenges and move forward with tomorrow’s solutions. USISPF creates a peer-to-peer environment that fosters the dialogue, collaboration and commitment to move our great countries forward by emphasizing the greater good.

Having served on the USISPF Board, I always welcome the opportunity to engage with USISPF. I want to recognize John and Mukesh—they have done a fantastic job at USISPF.

When USISPF was founded, our goal was to go beyond traditional policy issues and into new areas that would form the foundation of a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership between the United States and India, including cybersecurity, data, agriculture, and healthcare. Going forward, we have the unique focus and expertise to advance these critical areas and, ultimately, strengthen the bonds of friendship and commerce between two of the world’s leading democracies.

USISPF is creating a new model for collaboration between not just the United States and India, but the rest of the world. From mentoring startups, to advocating for ease of doing business and forming consortiums on some of the most pressing challenges that governments and citizens face today, USISPF has been able to achieve what we set out to do.

The work that USISPF has accomplished demonstrates the possibilities that can emanate from the prominent connections between two globally strategic powers.

USISPF is uniquely positioned to help the United States and India continue to forge a strong and lasting strategic cooperation which will benefit the businesses and economies of both countries for years to come.

The US and India share a unique bond, rooted in shared democratic values and strong economic and cultural ties. As a member of the USISPF, I look forward to finding ways for our two nations to use the power of technology to drive economic growth, create opportunities for all, and address the unique challenges of our time.

The US-India Strategic Partnership Forum considers both the commercial and strategic components of the bilateral relationship, and constructive ly works to identify opportunities and address challenges in a manner that supports a strong and enduring relationship between both countries.

USISPF’s relationships, expertise and commitment to a strategic partnership between the U.S. and India are unparalleled.

We at the USISPF are proud to be well positioned to bridge the relationship between the countries-- across administrations and generations.
