The Swiss Indian Chamber of Commerce on Friday highlighted robust post-Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) momentum, announcing that it has facilitated USD 1.1 billion in Swiss investment commitments across India in recent months.
The update was shared at the 3rd Indo – Swiss Golf Tournament, hosted in Mumbai – an event that blended sport and strategy, creating a unique platform for networking and deepening bilateral collaboration.
The tournament brought together senior business leaders, diplomats, and industry representatives from both nations to strengthen relationship-driven engagement and explore new avenues of trade and investment beyond the boardroom.
Adding to this momentum, Swiss wines also made their India debut at ProWine Mumbai 2025, where ten wineries presented over 50 premium labels – a milestone reflecting Switzerland’s expanding cultural and commercial footprint under the TEPA framework.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Satish Rao, President, Swiss Indian Chamber of Commerce, said,
“TEPA has laid a strong foundation for a new phase of Indo–Swiss business collaboration. The growing engagement from Swiss companies reflects their confidence in India’s economic resilience, innovation capabilities, and expanding consumer market. Just as golf fosters connections built on trust and precision, platforms like this help translate shared intent into impactful business partnerships that drive value for both economies.”
Building on this momentum, The Chamber is expanding its multi-city engagement agenda, spanning business exchanges, academic collaborations, innovation showcases, and cultural initiatives designed to deepen Indo – Swiss partnerships.
As Swiss organisations increase their focus on India’s innovation, consumption, and supply chain strengths, The Chamber continues to play a pivotal role in transforming collaboration opportunities into actionable business outcomes.
Under TEPA, EFTA countries have committed USD 100 billion in investments and the creation of 1 million jobs in India over 15 years. Mr. Rao reaffirmed the Chamber’s role as an ecosystem enabler, accelerating this vision by focusing on high-potential sectors including med-tech and life sciences, clean energy, precision engineering, design and innovation, food and hospitality, and higher education collaboration.
The event was attended by senior dignitaries including the Swiss Consul General in Mumbai, and Bangalore leadership from the Swiss India Business Hub, C-suite executives from leading Swiss and Indian enterprises, industry associations, and noted golfing personalities – underscoring the link between relationships built on shared experiences and sustainable business growth.
