‘Mother of all deals’: Piyush Goyal on proposed India-US trade pact
Friday, 21 February 2025 Union Minister Piyush Goyal calls the proposed India-US bilateral trade pact the 'mother of all deals.' At the Invest Kerala Global Summit, he emphasized strong economic ties, mentioned the India-UAE CEPA, and ongoing talks with Bahrain and other nations. Prime Minister Modi aims to double commerce to USD 500 billion by 2030. Recent bilateral trade figures underscore the significant partnership benefits.
In New Delhi, Union Minister Piyush Goyal’s remark labeling many Indian startups as mere “dukaandars” has sparked intense debate. Startup founders, tech leaders, and citizens voiced their take on whether India’s startup ecosystem should focus on consumer delivery apps or pivot to deep tech innovation. Zepto's Aadit Palicha, Ashneer Grover, and others have weighed in. While some support Goyal’s vision of India as a tech leader, others argue that consumer platforms also drive growth and jobs. Oneindia News captures diverse opinions from India’s capital.
