The panel featured Jeyakumar Janakaraj, Board Director of SICCI, alongside representatives from Macquarie Group, CapitaLand, and NTT DATA. Discussions centred on digital infrastructure, including data centres, energy systems, and connectivity platforms supporting economic growth.
Participants noted a shift in global investment sentiment, with India increasingly recognised as a strategic destination for long-term infrastructure investment. The discussion highlighted ongoing large-scale investments, including capital expenditure by the Adani Group in digital and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Speakers also emphasised the role of international capital in supporting India’s infrastructure expansion, particularly in sectors such as energy transition, digital platforms, and data centre development. The panel referenced the importance of integrating global partnerships and technological capabilities to sustain long-term growth.
In remarks during the session, Neil Parekh, Chairman of SICCI, noted that Singapore-based ecosystems could play a catalytic role in supporting India’s infrastructure development through investment and collaboration. The discussion further highlighted India’s position as a key market for digital infrastructure outside major global economies.
The forum also addressed broader trends, including urbanisation, sustainability, and the expansion of digital infrastructure capacity. Platforms such as AdaniConneX were cited as examples of large-scale developments supporting future demand in data and connectivity.
The engagement underscored SICCI’s role in facilitating collaboration between Singapore and India, particularly in connecting businesses and investors to emerging opportunities in infrastructure and technology.
