Report on Panel Discussion on The Great Financial Convergence & Inclusion: India, Europe, and the Path to Viksit Bharat

Overview

The Council of EU Chambers of Commerce in India, under the aegis of its BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) Committee, partnered with the British Business Group Delhi to host a high-impact panel discussion titled “The Great Financial Convergence & Inclusion: India, Europe, and the Path to Viksit Bharat.” The session brought together senior representatives from prominent financial institutions, business organizations, and industry stakeholders from India and the European Union. The event served as a collaborative platform to explore trade-linked finance, regulatory frameworks, and cross-border cooperation to accelerate India’s development aspirations under the national Viksit Bharat vision.
