On June 18-21, 2025, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF 2025) emerged as a pivotal global platform for economic dialogue, with distinguished participation from the Indian Business Council. Our
esteemed delegates, Mr. Farooq Mir and Mr. Pardeep Singh Dosanjh, engaged in transformative discussions and forged meaningful connections that promise to elevate India-Russia economic collaboration to new heights.
Mr. Pardeep Singh Dosanjh highlighted SPIEF’s exceptional networking value for accelerating business growth, while Mr. Farooq Mir emphasized the strategic advantages of direct engagement with regional leaders for fostering long-term partnerships.
One of the forum’s most impactful events was the plenary session with President Vladimir Putin and international leaders, where our members gained exclusive insights into Russia’s economic vision. Mr. Farooq Mir played an active role in opening the Roscongress International Business Networking Zone, while simultaneously cultivating strategic relationships with key African and Russian regional business leaders.
The event offered unparalleled access to Russia’s regional development landscape, with our delegation exploring promising prospects in Penza, Rostov, Krasnodar, Perm, Yaroslavl, Chechnya, Kemerovo, Samara, and Kazan. These substantive engagements with regional authorities have laid the groundwork for mutually beneficial partnerships across key sectors.
