This funding opportunity seeks to influence business leaders and policy makers toward more favorable regulatory policies by leveraging successful U.S. businesspeople, especially notable Indian-Americans, to engage senior business leaders and members of indigenous Chambers of Commerce. By facilitating the speaking engagements of business leaders, the program will offer key local audiences with credible third-party voices on how open market reforms can bring tremendous economic benefits to Indian stakeholders.
The proposed project aims to flood the information space with expert opinions targeting Mumbai’s most influential members of the business community. Free trade experts from the United States will engage these influencers in small forums at regular intervals, providing anecdotal, quantitative, and qualitative data that can be used to convince policymakers why the business community, banking and financial officials, and other advisers desire an opening up of both U.S. and Indian markets to two-way trade.

Project Goal: Government and elected officials begin publicly pushing for and taking action toward economic regulatory reforms favorable to U.S. interests.
Project Objectives: Over the course of a year, bi-monthly (one every two months) expert speaker engagements reach 100 or more well-placed, highly-influential trade and industry insiders with compelling anecdotes and data. The target audience then shares these facts across the media landscape and engage in private conversations urging reforms with established policymakers, resulting in: reforms favorable to U.S. industry; publicly expressed openness to further negotiation on specific reforms; and a shift in tenor of media coverage toward the U.S.-India trade relationship, especially those media closely aligned with the ruling party.
