Washington D.C., April 11, 2025 — Strategic expert Ashley J. Tellis stated at the Carnegie India Summit that U.S.-India tech cooperation should be led by market forces rather than solely by government initiatives. He emphasized the importance of creating a competitive environment that encourages innovation and private sector participation.
Tellis noted that while state support can provide the foundation, long-term progress in areas like AI, semiconductors, and defense tech depends on strong commercial engagement. He also highlighted the need to streamline regulations and reduce bureaucratic obstacles to unlock the full potential of the tech partnership between the two countries.
