competitiveness. Rohit Kansal underscored the textile-focused Union Budget’s
investment and employment push, while Neelam Shami Rao emphasised new free
trade agreements expanding export opportunities. Interactive discussions led to
practical recommendations on approvals, financing, skilling, and green
manufacturing. The consultation concluded with a shared commitment to position
