css_animation=”none” css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nWhen the Auckland Business Chamber\, Deloitte and the Consulate General of India in Auckland surveyed New Zealand businesses earlier this year\, one finding stood out clearly: understanding India’s individual states remains one of the biggest barriers to invest and trade in the diverse market that is India.\n\nThat’s why we created India Unlocked—a state-by-state event series designed to help New Zealand businesses better understand where the investment opportunities are\, what makes each state unique\, and how to engage successfully. This time\, we bring the series into the room for Episode 3.\n\n\nOdisha and Andhra Pradesh are two of India’s fastest-growing state economies\, combining strong natural resources with rapidly expanding infrastructure and investment. Home to major ports\, competitive mineral and pharmaceutical industries\, and among India’s most investment-friendly regulatory environments\, the two states offer strong opportunities across mining\, pharmaceuticals\, chemicals\, food processing\, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing.\n\nHear directly from a panel that includes India’s Consul General in Auckland and Auckland-based business and community leaders with firsthand experience in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh\, sharing insights into each state’s business environment\, key industries\, investment ecosystem and practical advice for New Zealand businesses looking to establish partnerships or expand into the market.\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”5″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line”
