New York, Consulate General of India in New York is organizing a webinar to provide comprehensive information to Indian exporters on bringing their products into the United States.
A webinar titled “Exploring Pathways for Indian Exporters and MSMEs to Export to the US”, organized in partnership with Walmart, will be held on May 29.
It is expected to provide Indian exporters and suppliers with detailed information on supply chains and other compliance requirements to help them bring products into the United States, especially on the shelves of the US retail giant.
Last month, the Indian Consulate in Seattle, in partnership with the Consulate in New York, held a similar webinar with Costco Wholesale. More than 200 Indian exporters attended.
The Indian Consulate in New York said in a statement to PTI that through a webinar next week, US giant Walmart will interact with Indian exporters, mainly to help understand export routes to the United States.
These exports are mainly aimed at Walmart, which has more than 10,750 stores in 19 countries and numerous e-commerce websites.
Last month, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri launched the India-US Trade Facilitation Portal at an event organized by the Indian Mission in New York during his visit to Washington.
The portal has been developed to further enhance India-US trade and commercial engagement by promoting greater interaction between businesses, investors, institutions and stakeholders of both countries.
According to the Ministry of External Affairs, it aims to “unlock” new trade opportunities, improve ease of doing business, support MSMEs and start-ups, and accelerate efforts to achieve the $500 billion trade target between the United States and India by 2030.
The consulate statement added that the portal is focused on creating awareness among Indian exporters across different sectors on ways to enter the US market.
At the virtual launch of the portal, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal urged Indian and US industry bodies to leverage the platform to boost bilateral trade. He termed the portal as a “runway to the United States of America” that will bring about comprehensive development, growth, local empowerment and global opportunities.
