AMCHAM’s Western Region hosted a high-level roundtable on June 2^nd at the Dun & Bradstreet office in Mumbai with a visiting delegation from Moody’s Ratings. The session offered an important platform for dialogue between senior representatives of Moody’s and AMCHAM members on India’s investment climate and broader global policy trends. The discussion focused on India’s evolving position as a key investment destination and how U.S. companies are navigating the increasingly complex landscape shaped by geopolitical shifts and emerging trade policies, including the proposed imposition of reciprocal tariffs by the U.S. government. Participants explored potential implications of such tariff measures on U.S. businesses operating in or trading with India, highlighting the critical need for policy stability, predictability, and transparent trade frameworks, especially for industries deeply integrated with global supply chains. Companies also shared how their organizations are responding to the shifting global trade environment by building operational resilience, diversifying supply chains, and staying strategically engaged with regulatory developments. Despite external uncertainties, there was strong consensus that India continues to offer long-term growth potential, owing to its large and dynamic consumer base, digital transformation, demographic dividend, and the government’s ongoing push for economic reform and ease of doing business. At the same time, participants flagged continuing concerns around regulatory clarity, taxation complexity, and uneven implementation of reforms across regions, suggesting that consistent progress in these areas will be key to sustaining investor confidence. The session, led by Mr. Avinash Gupta, Chairman – Western Region, AMCHAM and MD & CEO, Dun & Bradstreet, was attended by Mr. Christian de Guzman, Senior Vice President, Sovereign Analytical Team, Moody’s Ratings, Mr. Arjun Khaitan, Ratings Associate, Sovereign Risk Group, Moody’s Ratings, Ms. Nicky Dang, Senior Vice President, Credit Strategy & Standards, Moody’s Ratings, Mr. Liam Clarke, Senior Director & Head of Global Business Development, APCO Worldwide, Dr. Niranjan Pai, Director, APCO Worldwide, Mr. Siddhartha Ghoshal, Country Head & CEO, Dow Chemicals, Ms. Roma Nair, Head Corporate Affairs, Pfizer and Ms. Rakhi Sikka, Regional Director – Western Region, AMCHAM. The meeting provided Moody’s with meaningful, first-hand insights into the operational and strategic outlook of leading U.S. businesses in India, underscoring the importance of ongoing engagement between financial institutions and industry to inform global economic assessments and policy discourse.
