DPM Gan kicks off India visit in Mumbai as Singapore firms ink investment agreements
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox – Kicking off his India visit aimed at deepening bilateral economic and business ties, Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong on Aug 12 witnessed Singapore firms inking agreements committing more than 200 billion rupees' (S$2.93 billion) worth of investments in Maharashtra state. In addition, DPM Gan, who is also Minister for Trade and Industry, visited PSA's port operations at Bharat Mumbai Container Terminal and inaugurated CapitaLand Investment's (CLI) first data centre in Navi Mumbai – touted as being two of the more significant investments by Singapore firms in Maharashtra. 'These investments underscore the growing bilateral economic partnership between Singapore and India and Singapore's confidence in India's long-term economic trajectory,' the Republic's Ministry of Trade and Industry said on Aug 12. DPM Gan was in Mumbai ahead of the third India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable to be held in New Delhi over two days from Aug 13. His visit also precedes Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's visit to the world's fourth-largest economy in early September as Singapore and India mark 60 years of diplomatic relations. Plans are afoot to elevate relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership following Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Singapore in 2024. India is set to follow Australia, Vietnam and France with this level of relations with the Republic. Both Asian nations have also been aggressively courting economic and security partners amid a fracturing world order, with the Trump administration upending longstanding US commitments to the post-Cold War order and imposing trade tariffs on its closest allies. The inauguration of CLI's new data centre in Navi Mumbai comes as the global real asset manager expands its data centre operations in key cities in India. Mumbai is India's financial capital and the capital of Maharashtra. The data centre sector is a growing area of cooperation between Singapore and India, which is looking to become a global hub for this business. Its data centre growth is fuelled by a large number of internet users, availability of land, and the adoption of cloud computing and artificial intelligence. At the inauguration of the data centre, DPM Gan and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for CLI to invest more than 192 billion rupees in Mumbai and Pune. CLI said the planned investments in Maharashtra will be in business parks, data centres, logistics, and industrial parks. This will add to the business parks the company has in Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune, on top of the 12 industrial and logistics parks it runs in India. The company added that the investments are part of a 'broader growth strategy for India' and that it aims to increase its funds under management from more than $8 billion to some $15 billion by 2028. DPM Gan also witnessed Singapore-based investment firm Mapletree Investments inking an MOU to invest 30 billion rupees to develop infrastructure in Maharashtra, including data centres, industrial parks and logistics parks. Additionally, he witnessed an MOU being signed between Manipal Health Enterprises and the Maharashtra government to facilitate a proposed investment by the former to construct and run a multi-speciality hospital in the city of Nagpur. DPM Gan and Mr Fadnavis toured Phase 2 of PSA Mumbai, a container terminal at Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Navi Mumbai operated by the international arm of PSA. The Phase 2 extension, when completed, would make PSA Mumbai India's largest single container terminal. DPM Gan will next head to New Delhi, where he will lead the Singapore delegation at the third India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable. He will be accompanied by Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs K. Shanmugam, Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo, Minister for Manpower and Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science & Technology Tan See Leng, and Acting Minister for Transport and Senior Minister of State for Finance Jeffrey Siow. They will meet Indian Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs Nirmala Sitharaman, Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar, Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal, and Minister of Electronics and Information Technology, Railways, Information and Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw. India and Singapore share close political, defence and economic ties, with a constant exchange of high-level visits. Singapore is India's top foreign investor and accounted for about 24 per cent of India's foreign direct investment equity inflows since 2000. Meanwhile, Indian investment in Singapore has grown from $481 million in 2004 to about $31.6 billion in 2023. The India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable is a mechanism that the Indian government has termed as 'unique' as it brings various ministers from both sides to explore how the two countries can expand cooperation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that the roundtable on Aug 13 'is an important ministerial-level platform between Singapore and India to drive cooperation in new and emerging areas'.

AI startup Perplexity makes bold $34.5 billion bid for Google's Chrome browser
Perplexity AI said it has made a $34.5 billion unsolicited all-cash offer for Alphabet's Chrome browser, a low but bold bid that would need financing well above the startup's own valuation. Run by Aravind Srinivas, Perplexity is no stranger to headline-grabbing offers - it made a similar one for TikTok US in January, offering to merge with the popular short-video app to resolve U.S. concerns about TikTok's Chinese ownership. Buying Chrome would allow the startup to tap the browser's more than three billion users for an edge in the AI search race as regulatory pressure threatens Google's grip on the industry. Google did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The company has not offered Chrome for sale and plans to appeal a U.S. court ruling last year that found it held an unlawful monopoly in online search. The Justice Department has sought a Chrome divestiture as part of the case's remedies. Perplexity did not disclose on Tuesday how it plans to fund the offer. The three-year-old company has raised around $1 billion in funding so far from investors including Nvidia and Japan's SoftBank. It was last valued at $14 billion. Multiple funds have offered to finance the deal in full, a person familiar with the matter said, without naming the funds. As a new generation of users turns to chatbots such as ChatGPT and Perplexity for answers, web browsers are regaining prominence as vital gateways to search traffic and prized user data, making them central to Big Tech's AI ambitions. Perplexity already has an AI browser, Comet, that can perform certain tasks on a user's behalf and acquiring Chrome would give it the heft to better compete against bigger rivals such as OpenAI. The ChatGPT parent has also expressed interest in buying Chrome and is working on its own AI browser. Perplexity's bid pledges to keep the underlying browser code called Chromium open source, invest $3 billion over two years and make no changes to Chrome's default search engine, according to a term sheet seen by Reuters. The company said the offer, with no equity component, would preserve user choice and ease future competition concerns. Analysts have said Google would be unlikely to sell Chrome and would likely engage in a long legal fight to prevent that outcome, given it is crucial to the company's AI push as it rolls out features including AI-generated search summaries, known as Overviews, to help defend its search market share. A federal judge is expected to issue a ruling on remedies in the Google search antitrust case sometime this month. Perplexity's bid is also below the at least $50 billion value that rival search engine DuckDuckGo's CEO, Gabriel Weinberg, suggested Chrome may command if Google was forced to sell it.
