The return of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a third term has buoyed expectations for continued economic reforms within the American corporate sector, according to Mukesh Aghi, head of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF). Despite a slightly smaller majority in the Lok Sabha, Modi's BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has secured enough seats to form the government.

According to Aghi, the election results, which saw the BJP winning 240 seats against the Congress's 99, are unlikely to destabilize ongoing US-India relations. He noted that both nations are poised to work closely, especially on strategic initiatives like the Quad, which underscores economic and defense cooperation among the US, India, Japan, and Australia.

Furthermore, Aghi emphasized that the Indian economy, nearing a USD 5 trillion mark by 2027, remains an attractive opportunity for corporate America. He dispelled concerns about Modi's image as authoritarian, stating that the election results enhance his global standing, and reaffirm India's commitment to democracy.
