The executive will talk about commercial links between India and the MENA region.
The Georgetown University India Initiative will host Sunil Sinha, the resident director of the Middle East & North Africa region for Tata Sons, for a conversation about commercial links between India and the MENA region on January 24.
“Mr Sinha will discuss the political, economic, and social importance of these commercial partnerships and their impact on Indian businesses and civil society,” Irfan Nooruddin, the director of the India Initiative and Hamad bin Khalifa Professor of Indian Politics at the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown, told The American Bazaar.
Sinha has worked at the Tata Group for over 31 years, most recently as the CEO of Tata quality management services. The Tata Group, which consists of more than a hundred companies that are present in more than a hundred countries, has been present in the MENA region for nearly half a century.
