Just six months ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was grappling with multiple challenges on the global and domestic fronts — fending off sharp rhetoric from US President Donald Trump, seeking to reassert India’s strategic position against Pakistan after an armed conflict, and responding to growing questions about the future of India’s economy.
Today, the political and economic landscape looks markedly different. Within the first two months of the new year, India has clinched major trade agreements with both the European Union and the United States, reinforcing its position as a key player in global commerce. Several foreign leaders are scheduled to visit India in the coming weeks, many eager to finalise their own trade and investment deals with New Delhi.

At home, Prime Minister Modi is enjoying a renewed wave of popular support following decisive victories in key state elections. Adding to the upbeat mood, senior government officials say India’s economic growth is on track to exceed the government’s own projections, strengthening confidence in the country’s medium-term outlook.
The Prime Minister is set to highlight this resurgence on the world stage this week as he addresses a high-profile artificial intelligence summit in New Delhi. The India AI Impact Summit is expected to draw more than a dozen heads of state, including leaders from France and Brazil, along with some of the most influential figures in the global technology sector.
Among those attending are OpenAI chief Sam Altman, Alphabet Inc. CEO Sundar Pichai, and Anthropic PBC head Dario Amodei. Their presence underscores India’s growing importance in shaping the future of artificial intelligence and advanced technologies.
The summit will serve as a platform for India to showcase its expanding digital ecosystem, innovation capabilities, and ambition to become a global hub for emerging technologies. For Prime Minister Modi, it also represents an opportunity to cement his political comeback and project India’s renewed confidence on the international stage.
