Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) has captured the attention of global financial institutions, investors, and technology firms at the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos. The discussions highlighted the confidence in GIFT City’s regulatory framework and operational environment, offering global companies a competitive platform within India’s jurisdiction for long-term growth opportunities, according to Sanjay Kaul, GIFT City’s MD and Group CEO.
India is increasingly seen as a strategic hub for sophisticated financial and technology operations by global institutions. GIFT City showcased India’s first International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) as a scalable and regulation-ready destination for various financial services, including banking, capital markets, insurance, fintech, and digital operations during the four-day forum.
The engagements at Davos underscored the global recognition of India’s IFSC framework as a reliable platform for international business expansion. Key discussions were held with prominent global financial institutions like Euroclear, Marsh McLennan, Invesco, Visa, and Nasdaq, focusing on India’s capital markets evolution, cross-border fund flows, and the operational benefits of the IFSC ecosystem.
GIFT City’s unified regulatory environment, ease of capital movement, and the deepening of financial markets garnered significant interest during the meetings. Additionally, strategic dialogues with global advisory and institutional stakeholders emphasized GIFT City’s growing appeal as a destination for long-term institutional investments and innovation initiatives.
Exclusive sessions hosted by the Swiss Embassy, Swiss India Chamber of Commerce, and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) were also attended by the GIFT City delegation, further enhancing its global outreach.
