On January 14, Dezan Shira & Associates’ India team participated in the Indonesia–India Business Forum, following an invitation from the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in India .The closed-door forum reflected the accelerating momentum in India–Indonesia economic relations, particularly as both countries deepen cooperation across trade, manufacturing, and investment.
The session featured strategic briefings from H.E. Ms. Ina Hagniningtyas Krisnamurthi, Ambassador of Indonesia to India, Mr. Yudho Sasongko, Head of Mission, and other senior policymakers and business leaders. Discussions focused on priority sectors for Indonesian companies in India, including advanced manufacturing, renewable energy, financial services, and FMCG, alongside practical considerations for cross-border operations. The proposed India-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) was highlighted as a key enabler for deeper bilateral engagement, with emphasis on its potential to streamline regulatory processes and reduce compliance burdens for businesses operating across both markets.
The event brought together key members of the India-Indonesia business community, reinforcing dialogue on investment opportunities, sector-specific collaboration, and long-term commercial linkages.
Reflecting on the forum, Ankur Munjal, Country Director-India, noted that Indonesia continues to be one of India’s most important economic partners in Southeast Asia. He added that the discussions reinforced the significant potential for collaboration across manufacturing, trade, supply chains, and investment, particularly as businesses seek to diversify markets and build more resilient cross-border operations.
