He also met with Chintu Patel, co-founder and co-CEO of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, to discuss investment opportunities in India’s pharmaceutical sector and ways to strengthen the country’s innovation landscape.
In a meeting with Warburg Pincus Chairman Chip Kaye, Goyal discussed the global investment environment and India’s role as a major driver of growth and innovation.
“Highlighted that with scale, talent, rising domestic demand, and a steady policy push, India continues to create new opportunities across sectors for global investors,” Goyal said.
Goyal also met with Morgan Stanley Chairman and CEO Ted Pick. The discussion focused on strengthening long-term investments and institutional partnerships in India, as well as exploring opportunities across sectors in the country.
During his U.S. visit, Goyal also participated in a roundtable with more than 50 global business and industry leaders in New York. The event was hosted by the Consulate General of India in New York in collaboration with the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum.
Goyal highlighted India’s economic growth, reform-driven business climate and expanding opportunities for global investors under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. He said the discussions focused on deepening India-U.S. trade, investment, innovation and supply chain partnerships.
