Davos Shapes India's Long-Term Investment Strategy

India's HRD, IT & Electronics minister argues in a Jan. 19, 2026 op-ed that Davos functions as an ideation platform that seeds long-term investments, citing last year's Swiss meetings that led to a $15 billion Google AI hub in Vizag and subsequent projects including a 6-GW solar wafer facility and a Cognizant development centre creating nearly 25,000 jobs. The minister says Davos' cross-sector dialogue builds trust and strategic alignment, urging policymakers to prioritize patient, technology-driven capital over transactional MoUs.
