The world’s business elite converges in Davos for the 2026 WEF, where 146 corporate chiefs—including India’s top CEOs—will huddle with President Donald Trump on Wednesday. This comes as India and the US edge closer to a transformative trade pact, injecting fresh optimism into global markets.
Key Indian participants include Tata Sons’ N. Chandrasekaran, Wipro CEO Srini Pallia, Bharti Enterprises’ Sunil Bharti Mittal, and Infosys’ Salil Parekh. Their roles in this forum amplify India’s voice amid high-level trade deliberations.
Expectations run high for sentiment uplift, with recent diplomatic thaws signaling an impending deal. This meeting could be the catalyst for announcements that redefine economic corridors between the superpowers.
Global luminaries dot the agenda: Canada’s Mark Carney, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, and Europe’s Ursula von der Leyen. Over 1,700 execs are present, including Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis, Palantir’s Alex Karp, and OpenAI’s Sarah Friar—heralding an AI-driven future.
Meanwhile, India’s renewable energy chief Pralhad Joshi made a compelling pitch to investors on clean tech frontiers like solar, wind, green hydrogen, and storage. In-depth sessions with La Caisse leaders Charles Emond and Sarah Bouchard focused on bolstering long-haul investments in India’s climate agenda.
Davos 2026 thus emerges as a nexus for deal-making, with Indian leaders driving narratives on trade, tech, and sustainability.
