The US-India Business Council released an extensive report, Doing Business in India: The Guide for US Businesses and Organizations Entering and Expanding into India, at the launch event of its major initiative—“Accelerate to 500” series—in the presence of Invest India and US Department of Commerce. Through this series, the USIBC aims to help raise the US-India bilateral trade to $500 billion—a vision set by then-Vice President Biden during his India trip in 2013*.
