#10YearsOfStartupIndia

Union Minister of Commerce & Industry and MP, North Mumbai Lok Sabha.

Our states are set to reap big benefits from the #IndiaEUTradeDeal

Visited the Hilti Group headquarters and met their CEO, Jahangir Doongaji, in Liechtenstein. 

With the group's presence in India's construction sector for over 25 years, discussions focused on advancing localisation, increasing value addition, and scaling global shipments from India, aligned with our manufacturing and export growth objectives. 

Also discussed technology collaboration for safer, smarter infrastructure supported by expanding investments, rapid innovation, and strong domestic capacity building.

Congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and President Donald Trump, as well as to the people of India and the United States, on the landmark trade agreement. This reflects the power of two like-minded, fair-trading democracies working together for shared prosperity.

Grateful to PM Narendra Modi ji and President Donald Trump for their visionary and decisive leadership, and strong commitment to strengthening India–U.S. ties.

This unlocks the power of two large democracies working together for the shared prosperity of their people. Both India and US are natural allies and our partnership will co-create technologies, co-develop solutions, and work together for peace, growth, and a brighter future for India and US.

This agreement unlocks unprecedented opportunities for farmers, MSMEs, entrepreneurs, and skilled workers to Make in India for the world, Design in India for the world, and Innovate in India for the world. It will help India get technology from the US.

It is not just a trade deal - it is a historic turning point that will reshape India–U.S. relations and accelerate our journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047. 🇮🇳🇺🇸

Chaired a Business Roundtable with leaders from prominent Liechtenstein companies.

Highlighted that the India-EFTA TEPA is not just a trade agreement, but a framework to promote investment, technology collaboration, skill development, and resilient value chains.

From precision engineering and clean energy to smart infrastructure, advanced materials, digital manufacturing, and financial services, the opportunities for India and Liechtenstein to grow together are immense.

I invited Liechtenstein businesses to engage with India, explore opportunities offered by the $100 billion commitment to invest in India by EFTA nations, and make it a long-term home for their ambitions, deepening our partnership and working together to unlock the full potential of India–Liechtenstein economic cooperation. 🇮🇳🇱🇮

Had a productive meeting with David Eby, Premier of British Columbia, Canada.

Discussions focused on strengthening the India-Canada economic partnership, advancing trade & investment cooperation, and exploring collaboration across sectors such as critical minerals, manufacturing, clean energy, technology, education, defence & innovation. 

We reaffirmed the importance of sustained engagement to unlock new opportunities & deepen the ties between both nations. 🇮🇳🇨🇦

A truly great moment to see 5 lakh MSMEs adopting quality as a critical enabler of competitiveness through ZED certification. Heartiest congratulations to each one.

This reflects how India's quality framework is strengthening with each passing day. 'Zero Defect, Zero Effect', the initiative introduced to enhance national quality standards, has truly become a guiding principle.

As MSMEs, businesses and industries place increasing emphasis on quality, 'Made in India' products will not only gain popularity but become the most trusted choice globally.

Looking ahead, my mission is clear: to Connect > Ideate > Collaborate > Inform > Empower > Motivate. Whether it’s inspiring budding entrepreneurs or working alongside experienced changemakers, I want to create a space where ideas thrive, people grow, and possibilities multiply.

A quick Run......

In July 2011, I took a leap I never thought I would — I stepped into the world of entrepreneurship. What began as an unexpected trigger moment quickly turned into a defining choice, reshaping the way I thought, acted, and saw the world. That single decision gave birth to Salt Glocal — my boutique agency built on passion, creativity, and the belief that ideas can connect the global with the local.

At Salt Glocal, I set out to create more than just another agency. For me, it has always been about bringing fresh energy into advertising, marketing, retail, digital, media, and technology — crafting experiences that resonate deeply with brands and their audiences. Every project is a chance to add that “salt” — the essential spark that enhances ideas and makes them unforgettable.

This journey has demanded that I wear many hats — strategist, creator, networker, and sometimes even risk-taker. But more than anything, it has given me the privilege to meet, interact, and collaborate with people who are as passionate about ideas as I am. These connections have fueled not just my work, but my growth as an entrepreneur.

Looking ahead, my mission is clear: to Connect > Ideate > Collaborate > Inform > Empower > Motivate. Whether it’s inspiring budding entrepreneurs or working alongside experienced changemakers, I want to create a space where ideas thrive, people grow, and possibilities multiply.
