“The goal is to raise awareness about India among students and the broader community,” Mr. Ramamurti told INDIA New England News. “Last time we focused on the extraordinary contribution of Indian Americans to the US economy. This time we want to take stock of where the Indian economy is headed, with Dr. Arvind Panagariya, who was a senior adviser to PM Narendra Modi with Cabinet rank from 2015-2017. It’s also a terrific opportunity for people interested in India to network with one another.”
