As the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) gets underway in Davos, India is positioning itself for a prominent role among the forum’s global leaders and business elite. New Delhi has assembled a significant delegation of senior policymakers, business executives, and thought leaders to engage on themes ranging from international trade to technology and sustainability.
With global fragmentation on the rise, India’s push for greater influence at Davos reflects its continuing ascent as an economic and diplomatic force. Officials and corporate representatives from India are expected to participate in key discussions on inclusive growth, climate financing, digital transformation and geopolitical cooperation. The heightened presence signals India’s strategic intent to shape international discourse, attract investment, and expand partnerships across regions — particularly in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East — at a time when global powers are recalibrating alliances.
