Darden Emerging Markets Podcast, Episode 1: Talent, Tech, and the Future of U.S. - India Relations

In this inaugural episode of the Darden Emerging Markets Podcast, we sit down with Ambassador Atul Keshap, President of the U.S.-India Business Council and former U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Chargé d'affaires to India. A career diplomat and proud UVA alum, Ambassador Keshap shares a compelling view of the U.S.-India relationship - what he calls “unlimited” in potential.

Co-hosted by second-year MBA students Siddarth Jain and Giriraj Heda, under the supervision of Assistant Professor Gaurav Chiplunkar, the conversation covers high-skilled migration, digital innovation, and the expanding economic and strategic opportunities linking the world’s two largest democracies.
