Mumbai, June 4 — Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Citi Chair and CEO Jane Fraser on Wednesday to discuss India’s economic growth, the country’s investment landscape and ways the global bank can continue supporting India’s key development priorities, Citi said in a statement on Thursday.
Modi outlined his vision for accelerating growth and economic momentum to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat 2047, the statement said. The discussion covered investment and capital flows into India, opportunities for Indian companies abroad, alternative energy and artificial intelligence.
“They explored how Citi can further support India’s economic agenda, help attract global investors to the country, and champion Indian companies around the world as they expand to new markets,” Citi said, adding that the meeting reflected the confidence global financial institutions have in the reform agenda led by the prime minister.
The conversation also touched on the build-out of alternate and green energy sources, including solar and green hydrogen. Participants discussed artificial intelligence, focusing on the role of regulation and areas where AI can be leveraged to support economic growth.
Fraser was joined by K. Balasubramanian, Chief Executive Officer of Citi India. They highlighted Citi’s nearly 125 years of support for India, outlined the bank’s recent growth in the market and reiterated the firm’s commitment to clients and the country.
As India’s leading international bank, Citi is hosting more than 1,500 clients and investors at its Citi India Conference in Mumbai from June 3-5 to spotlight investment opportunities and raise the India dialogue. The year 2027 will mark Citi’s 125th year in India.
