India-U.S. trade deal provides much-needed macro predictability: Nasscom U.S. CEO Forum 

Nasscom highlights the India-U.S. trade deal's impact on macro predictability and AI's evolving role in technology services.

The India-U.S. trade deal provided much-needed macro predictability at a time when technology, talent and trust are central to global competitiveness, said Rajesh Nambiar, President, Nasscom.

Indian technology companies are already delivering measurable outcomes for the U.S. economy — high-quality jobs, regional investment and innovation at scale,’’ he said at a Nasscom U.S. CEO Forum meeting held in Washington DC on February 4th (5th in India), 2026, shortly after the announcement of the India-US trade deal.

The Nasscom U.S. CEO Forum was focused on moving this partnership from collaboration to co-creation, anchored in data, accountability, and long-term value creation, Mr. Nambiar added.

Energy security also emerged as a strategic priority, with the United States scaling AI-critical energy capacity and India integrating green and nuclear energy to support next-generation data centres, the forum noted.

According to the forum, Indian technology companies are increasingly contributing to AI-driven energy optimisation, grid analytics, and digital infrastructure, reinforcing the resilience of the U.S. innovation ecosystem.

The meeting held at Capitol Hill brought together leading Indian technology business leaders and senior US policymakers to advance a shared agenda focused on enhancing innovation, AI, trusted supply chains, workforce development and local job creation across the United States, said Nasscom in a statement on Thursday.
