Our Partner Sanjay Notani writes for moneycontrol.com in the latest article “India’s diplomacy and FTA negotiations – A turbulent path

In this insightful piece, Mr. Notani explores the politically charged dynamics shaping the India–US trade negotiations including critical issues like data flows, patents, and India’s insistence on preserving its regulatory sovereignty.

He unpacks the core sticking points—from India’s resistance to US demands on digital trade, intellectual property, and investment protection, to its broader emphasis on maintaining policy space and regulatory autonomy. The piece also reflects on how geopolitics, domestic priorities, and global supply chain shifts continue to influence trade diplomacy between the two largest democracies.

A must‑read for anyone tracking global trade policy and economic diplomacy.
