The 21st Century India Center at UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy in Strategy (GPS) invites you to a timely discussion on the U.S. government’s recent decision to impose increased tariffs on key Indian industries, which are set to take effect on Aug. 27. This discussion will bring together leading voices from academia and business to unpack what’s at stake for both nations. Panelists will explore U.S. and Indian interests, incentives, and the likely responses in the coming weeks, drawing on lessons from recent trade events such as Brexit and the U.S.-China trade war. Academic experts, including Dean Caroline Freund and Professor Kyle Handley of GPS, will examine the potential impacts of the new tariffs on the private sector in both countries, on global trade patterns and on the broader U.S.-India relationship. From the business perspective, former Ambassador Atul Keshap (president of the U.S.-India Business Council) and Arun Kumar (managing partner at Celesta Capital) will share insights into how companies are reacting: near-term operational shifts, long-term adaptation strategies, and the risks and opportunities they see in a changing trade landscape. Both Keshap and Kumar will also draw on their diplomatic experiences to offer unique perspectives on the historical context and insights for navigating this critical moment in U.S.-India trade. Professor Achyuta Adhvaryu, director of the 21st Century India Center will serve as moderator. Join us for an informed, nuanced conversation to understand the economic realities and strategic choices shaping the future of trade between the U.S. and India. This webinar is organized by the 21st Century India Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). For more information on India activities, please visit india.ucsd.edu.
