New York

Following the Canada leg of the visit, Minister Goyal travelled to New York, where he intensified efforts to attract global investment into India. He met several influential business leaders and corporate executives, presenting India as a dynamic market offering scale, talent, policy stability and expanding consumer demand.

Among his key meetings was an interaction with Michael Miebach, Chief Executive Officer of Mastercard. Discussions focused on deepening collaboration in digital commerce, cybersecurity and next-generation payment systems. Mr Goyal highlighted India’s rapidly expanding digital economy, world-leading digital public infrastructure and emergence as a trusted global centre for fintech innovation.

The minister also met Mr Chintu Patel, Co-founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, to discuss opportunities in India’s pharmaceutical sector and avenues for expanding innovation-led collaboration. Separate discussions with Mr Chip Kaye, Chairman of Warburg Pincus, centred on the evolving global investment landscape and India’s growing role as a driver of innovation and economic growth.

In another significant engagement, Mr Goyal met Mr Ted Pick, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Morgan Stanley. The discussions focused on strengthening long-term institutional investments in India and exploring how global financial institutions can participate more actively in opportunities emerging across multiple sectors of the Indian economy.

A major highlight of the New York visit was a roundtable interaction with more than 50 global business and industry leaders. Organised by the Consulate General of India in New York in partnership with the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), the meeting provided a platform for discussing ways to deepen India-US cooperation in trade, investment, innovation and supply-chain resilience.

Throughout the discussions, Mr Goyal underscored India’s strong economic performance, reform-oriented policy framework and expanding opportunities for international investors. His message remained consistent across both countries: India is not merely a fast-growing market but an increasingly influential economic partner capable of driving shared prosperity through deeper global engagement.

As India continues to strengthen its international economic footprint, Mr Goyal’s engagements in Canada and the United States reflected New Delhi’s determination to convert diplomatic goodwill into tangible trade, investment and innovation outcomes that can support the country’s long-term growth ambitions.
