India's Strategic Gains from G20 Presidency

India's presidency of the G20 has not only enhanced its global image but also positioned it as a key player in shaping international economic policies. The leadership role allowed India to showcase its strengths, opening doorways for attracting FDI, particularly from large multinational corporations looking for emerging markets. Hosting over 220 meetings across 60 cities with more than 100,000 participants demonstrates India's capability to manage large-scale international events.

Digital Public Infrastructure: A Key Theme

India's spotlight on digital public infrastructure (DPI) at G20 proved highly successful, and the world has taken notice. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has seen its implementation in Sri Lanka and Mauritius, and discussions with the US indicate the impact of DPI is being recognised by developed nations as well.

Future of G20 Amid Geopolitical Tensions

The future of the G20 depends on maintaining an inclusive, ambitious, action-oriented, and decisive approach. By working on unity among developed and developing economies, we can navigate geopolitical tensions and deepen cooperation, ensuring the G20 remains a relevant and effective platform.
