AIIB in talks with India on sovereign infrastructure project pipeline
New Delhi: Beijing-based Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), in which India is the second largest shareholder after China, is holding discussions with the Central and state governments as well as Indian industry to finance a robust pipeline of sovereign and private sector projects, AIIB vice president Ajay Bhushan Pandey said on Tuesday. The development bank is working towards stepping up annual project financing from about $10 billion last fiscal to $17 billion over the next few years. Pandey, who is on a visit to India, said AIIB finances projects not only in traditional infrastructure, but also in digital public infrastructure, data centres, digital communication, affordable housing, health and education. AIIB already has deployed $12 billion in India, of which $1.8 billion is in the private sector. It has a loan book of about $60 billion and is aiming to step this up. 'We will closely engage with government of India, the state governments and the private sector in India,' Pandey, who had previously served as India's finance secretary and as the chairperson of audit regulator National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA), told reporters on the sidelines of an interaction with industry leaders organized by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). 'We will work with all line-ministries to create a very sound pipeline of sovereign projects. Similarly, we will work with private sector players to create the pipeline of the projects where we can finance through all the options that are available". Pandey explained that AIIB's message to the Central ministries and state governments is this, 'This is your bank and you must make optimum use of the resources available.' 'Yesterday we had a detailed meeting with the secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, and secretary, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation on the water sector, including revival of many dams, the Namami Gange project and the inter-linking of rivers. We are going to have discussions with the ministries of health and power and then with the Honourable chief minister Maharashtra and state officials to discuss building a pipeline of infrastructure projects both in public andprivatesector,' said Pandey. Besides China and India, the other leading shareholders in the banks set up a decade ago are Russia, Germany and South Korea. The multilateral bank with 110 member-nations is making a strong foray into development financing as emerging economies need to invest heavily for development, especially to transition to less-carbon intensive economies. According to a Deloitte India report released earlier this month, titled 'The climate response: Tapping into India's climate and energy transition opportunity,'India would require a $1.5-trillion investment by 2030 across key areas to address the climate challenge at scale. The investments will be driven by India's efforts towards renewable energy, biofuels, decarbonization and sustainable infrastructure to combat climate change, the report said. In 2021, India committed to achieving net zero emission by 2070.

Proctor and Gamble picks IIM alumnus Shailesh Jejurikar as CEO, putting him 'Head&Shoulders' above US executives
File photo: IIM alumnus Shailesh Jejurikar TOI correspondent from Washington: Procter & Gamble (P&G), the storied consumer goods company that put Gillette and Old Spice, Crest and Vicks, Head&Shoulders and Pantene, Olay and Oral-B, Pampers and Tampax, among other products on the world's store shelves, has named Mumbai-born Shailesh Jejurikar as its next CEO. Jejurikar, 58, an alumnus of Hyderabad Public School (and a classmate of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella), Mumbai University, and IIM Lucknow (1989), will succeed Jon Moeller, who will transition to the role of Executive Chairman, the company said in an announcement. He will be the first Asian and Indian CEO minted entirely in the Indian education system to helm the 187-year old company, whose founding pre-dates Abraham Lincoln. Company man: P&G is also the only company Jejurikar has worked at in a 36-year career that began when he was recruited from IIM Lucknow in 1989 as an Assistant Brand Manager, skin care, going on to become marketing director for India a decade later. His transition to the global workplace began in 2010 when he was appointed Vice President for Home Care, North America, before being named CEO of P&G's Fabric & Home Care, the company's largest business sector, in 2019. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo It includes iconic brands like Tide, Ariel, Downy, Gain, Febreze, and Swiffer. In 2021, he was appointed P&G's first-ever Chief Operating Officer to oversee a broad portfolio including P&G's Enterprise Markets (Latin America, India, Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe), as well as critical company-wide functions such as sales, market operations, purchasing, and manufacturing. Founded in 1837 by candlemaker William Procter and soap maker James Gamble, P&G currently has global revenues of around $84 billion, ranking it 51st in the Fortune 500. About 48 per cent of its revenue is from the US market and 52 percent spanning the rest of the world. More than 20 P&G products have global revenues of more than $ 1 billion each. Its India revenues have been growing fast and topped $2 billion recently, among the many reasons the board appears to have chosen him to lead the company even as sales in the US is slowing down. While India-born CEOs in the tech sector is now a familiar story (Microsoft, Google, IBM, Adobe Systems, YouTube, Micron all have Indian CEOs), less well-known is "desi" CEOs in the broader market beyond tech. Among them: Raj Subramaniam leading FedEx, Vivek Sankaran helming the grocery chain Albertsons, Vasant Narasimhan at Novartis AG, and Leena Nair, picked to lead France's global luxury brand Chanel. Jejurikar's elevation comes at a time of rampant nativism in Middle America, where he currently lives (in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is P&G's headquarters). While 90 per cent of P&G products sold in the US are made in America, allaying President Trump's rage about cheap foreign products, many in his MAGA base are resentful of foreign-born CEOs like Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai despite their critical role in growing the US economy and their ties to India, providing an opening to a fast-growing market. Jejurikar is married to Sankhya, a visual artist, and they have two sons, who, the dad once revealed while talking up Tide pods (a P&G product) and promoting gender equality, do their own laundry. His brother Rajesh Jejurikar is the Executive Director and CEO of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd's Auto & Farm division. News of Shailesh's elevation triggered delight in the Indian corporate sector, now positioned as a global crucible for leadership. 'Shailesh Jejurikar's appointment as CEO proves yet again that Indian-American leaders can navigate not just tech, but the hearts and minds of US consumers. And this news has special meaning for us at @MahindraRise because Shailesh happens to be the younger brother of our very own Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO (Auto & Farm Sector) M&M Ltd,' the business patriarch Anand Mahindra noted.

India-US trade deal: American delegates to visit New Delhi to hold sixth round in August. Details here
Representatives from the United States are set to visit India on 25 August 2025 for the next round of negotiations for the proposed India-US trade deal, news agency PTI reported on Tuesday, 29 July 2025, citing officials aware of the development. 'The US team is visiting for the sixth round of talks,' the official told the news agency. He also mentioned that the two nations will continue to negotiate an interim trade deal as US President Donald Trump's 1 August tariff deadline nears. Trump's tariffs on world nations will be imposed on 1 August 2025 after the end of the suspension period, which means exports from India to the United States will witness the effect of a 26 per cent tariff rate on top of the existing 10 per cent baseline duty. Indian and US delegations finished their fifth round of trade talks last week in Washington. India's chief negotiator and special secretary of the Department of Commerce, Rajesh Agrawal, and Assistant US Trade Representative for South and Central Asia, Brendan Lynch, discussed the trade deal ahead of the tariff deadline. According to the report, both nations are looking to finalise an interim trade deal before the August tariff deadline. The reciprocal tariffs were imposed on 2 April 2025 and were supposed to take effect from 9 July 2025. However, the deadline for the imposition of the import duties was later extended to 1 August 2025. India, in its trade negotiations with the US, has hardened its position on the US's demand for import duty cuts on agriculture and dairy products. However, the country has not given any import duty cuts on these products to any of its trading partners, as per the agency report. Farmer associations across India have also requested the government not to include any issues related to agriculture in the trade deal. India aims to remove the additional 26 per cent tariffs, along with the 50 per cent rates on steel and aluminium and 25 per cent tariffs on automobiles. The nation has also reserved its rights under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to impose retaliatory tariffs on the Western nation. India also wants tariff cuts on textiles, gems and jewellery, leather goods, garments, plastics, chemicals, shrimp, oil seeds, grapes, and bananas. In exchange, the United States is seeking tariff cuts on industrial goods, automobiles, especially electric vehicles, wines, petrochemical products, agri goods, dairy products, apples, tree nuts, and genetically modified crops.
