Ambassador Rahul Chhabra Speaking Topics

  • India-U.S. Relations in a Shifting Global Order: Strategy, Trade & Technology

    As geopolitical competition intensifies & supply chains realign, the India-U.S. partnership has emerged as one of the most consequential bilateral relationships of the 21st century. Drawing on first-hand experience engaging policymakers in Washington and New Delhi, this session examines strategic convergence, trade tensions, energy security debates (including Russian oil), & the expanding role of technology and diaspora diplomacy. The talk explores how democratic values, economic complementarities, and shared security interests are reshaping global prosperity. It also addresses policy friction tariffs, market access, regulatory regimes and how mature partnerships navigate complexity. Ideal for business leaders, policymakers, & academic audiences seeking clarity on how India-U.S. ties influence global markets, innovation ecosystems, & geopolitical stability.

  • Geo-Economics & the New Power Matrix: Trade, Supply Chains & Strategic Technology

    Power today is exercised as much through markets, technology platforms, capital flows, and data governance as through traditional military strength. This session unpacks the rise of geo-economics and how states deploy trade policy, investment screening, sanctions, industrial strategy, and digital regulation as tools of influence. Drawing on experience in multilateral negotiations and global economic diplomacy, the talk explores supply chain resilience, critical minerals, Big Tech’s growing geopolitical role, and the regulatory challenges posed by AI and emerging technologies. Participants gain insight into how governments and corporations must navigate a fragmented yet interdependent global economy and what strategic foresight means in an era of economic statecraft.
