Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal told Reuters that PM Modi had suggested bringing states together to showcase unity at the gathering of business and political leaders at the World Economic Forum.
Bright colours and bold logos proudly signal where India has set up base on the main street in Davos this year, as the country trumpets its pro-business and foreign investment drive.
Inside a pavilion on the Swiss Alpine resort's Promenade street beneath an "India @ Davos 2022" logo, the federal government served up treats including 'masala chai' tea, 'samosa' snacks and other spicy delicacies.
Clustered around it are six Indian states with their own lounges, housed in what are usually high street shops.
"It's an Indian street, it should be called 'Little India'. It shows the country is open for investments," said Samir Saran of India's Observer Research Foundation.
