He helped curate talks at the India Engagement Center, India’s official pavilion, highlighting the nation’s emergence as a significant global economic and innovation hub.

Collaboration was a central theme, with Mr. Meghdut RoyChowdhury championing partnerships as drivers of growth and innovation. The partnership between the PhD Chamber of Commerce, edge entrepreneurs, and Invest India highlighted this focus and presented India’s new age energy and potential to the world.

Significantly, the discussions at the World Economic Forum also highlighted the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping the global economic landscape. With India at the forefront of this revolution, Mr. Meghdut RoyChowdhury emphasized the critical role AI plays in enhancing business operations, governance, and societal welfare. He pointed out successful AI initiatives in India that are setting benchmarks in healthcare, agriculture, and smart cities, showcasing how technology can be harnessed to solve real-world problems efficiently. The forum served as an excellent platform to demonstrate how Indian innovations in AI are not only technologically advanced but also socially inclusive, further reinforcing India’s position as a global hub for cutting-edge technology and innovation.

Looking ahead, Mr. Meghdut RoyChowdhury wants to see increased representation from West Bengal at Davos, like the strong presence of other Indian states promoting their achievements. He believes that a larger, more focused effort will further amplify New Age India’s dynamism and optimism on global platforms.

Mr. Meghdut Roy Chowdhury concludes that India’s success at Davos depends on collaborative efforts and a unified commitment to advancing the nation’s interests on the international stage.
