DAY 1 — 19 November 2025
Connecting Markets: India–Mexico Business Evening
Hosted by the Embassy of India in Mexico City
The Exchange opened with a high-level diplomatic evening titled “Connecting Markets: India–Mexico Business Evening”, attended by government leaders, trade bodies, Mexican corporations, and the full visiting delegation of Indian exporters.
This evening set the strategic agenda for the three-day engagement, offering a panoramic view of the rapidly evolving India–Mexico economic corridor.

The most widely quoted statement—featured prominently on Excélsior’s national coverage—came from
H.E. Dr. Pankaj Sharma, Ambassador of India to Mexico, who emphasized:
“La diversificación de las exportaciones y las asociaciones de producción ya no es un lujo, sino una necesidad estratégica.”
This message—amplified by Imagen Radio and Excélsior—became the thematic anchor of the Exchange: global supply chain resilience must be co-built by India and Mexico.
