    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Aug 29 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; At the 20th CII India Africa Business Conclave in New Delhi on August 29, 2025, TVS Motor Company Chairman Sudarshan Venu highlighted the immense potential for long-term collaboration between India and Africa in the changing global economy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Venu stressed that Africas rapidly growing consumer base and expanding infrastructure projects provide significant opportunities for investment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;He pointed out that sectors such as artificial intelligence, healthcare, and financial technology are emerging as strong drivers of economic transformation across the continent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Moving beyond short-term trade arrangements, he urged businesses from both regions to focus on partnerships that create real value. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;According to him, customer engagement, product quality, and customisation for local markets must remain central for building trust and ensuring sustainable growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Drawing on TVS Motors two-decade-long experience in Africa, Venu shared how the company has developed a strong footprint by adapting to local mobility needs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;In FY 2025, TVS Motor exported 1.09 million two-wheelers globally, marking a 22.8% growth. A large share of this success came from Africa and Latin America, demonstrating the continents importance in Indias global trade strategy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;He reaffirmed TVS Motors commitment to further strengthen its presence in Africa through continued investments and innovation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Venu added that collaboration between Indian and African businesses should focus on long-term trust and mutual benefits, rather than transactional gains.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The conclave echoed this vision, with policymakers and industry leaders discussing how India and Africa can build partnerships that fuel economic growth, create jobs, and drive social progress. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Venu concluded that the two regions, working together, have the potential to shape a future defined by resilience, inclusivity, and shared prosperity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(KNN Bureau)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
