Speaking on the occasion, Mukesh Aghi, USISPF President and CEO said “one of the key priorities for this government has been to improve the ease of doing business environment in the country. In the past, foreign investors have found navigating the tax labyrinth in India to be complex. Our work at the US-India Tax Forum over the years has been to advocate for a business-friendly tax environment and help investors understand the nuances and frameworks that exist.”

Shweta Kathuria, Director, U.S.-India Tax Forum said, “US India Tax Forum’s Conclave is looking to get a deep dive into the global tax deal which global economies are looking to implement over the next few years. With negotiations on multilateral tax treaty now largely focused on a two-pillared approach taken by the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), it will be interesting to hear a global perspective and an Indian perspective from our esteemed line of speakers.” 

The US-India Tax Forum is USISPF’s specialized platform that allows Government of India policymakers, global tax experts, and the business community to engage and advocate for a tax environment conducive to making India an attractive investment destination.
