| | SEPTEMBER 20254Current global business leaders originally from India continue to make remarkable strides, leading some of the world's most influential companies. This year, at least 11 Indian-origin CEOs helm Fortune 500 companies collectively valued at over $6.5 trillion. However, the on-going global trade war is posing significant challenges for leaders across the world. In truth, the Trump administration has been batting for pressure politics in global trade ever since he returned to the White House. The new tariff hikes by the US have created significant uncertainty for business leaders in Asia. This geopolitical climate has greatly amplified the significance of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit held in Tianjin, which united key leaders including Narendra Modi, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin. This gathering highlighted a critical shift in global business and trade relations, especially as President Trump recently raised tariffs on Indian imports to 50 percent in response to India's discounted purchase of Russian oil. The summit underscored the leaders' shared commitment to countering unilateral economic pressures led by the United States. It provided a platform for India, China, and Russia to discuss new trilateral cooperation initiatives in energy, technology, and cross-border trade as alternatives to their traditional reliance on Western markets. China and Russia advocated for a more inclusive, multipolar global order, while India emphasized strategic autonomy in the face of Washington's punitive measures. The outcomes of this summit are poised to have substantial implications for the global business landscape. The timing is ideal for this special issue, which dives into the ecosystem of Indian Global Leaders.
