have U.S. and Indian co-chairs; the

International Economic Affairs, together
with the Deputy Chairman of the

and concerns about the creation of an
environment in which their respective
private sectors can partner, thrive, and

expand trade and economic links
between the United States and India.
The Committee will continue to build
on the work done by the Committee to
date, including the Forum’s April 2008
and November 2010 reports.

the Forum. Each candidate must be the
Chief Executive Officer or President (or
have a comparable level of
responsibility) of a U.S.-owned or

doing business in both India and the
United States. Each candidate also must
be a U.S. citizen or otherwise legally
