US-Russia Talks and what’s the possible future of Indian Exporters? The recently concluded US-Russia talks may carry huge importance for Indian exporters. For months, exporters feared an additional 25% tariff that could have raised duties to nearly 50%. Such a steep rise would have been unsustainable for industries working on thin 5–7% margins, thus making exporters anxious about the future of their US trade. And to avoid losses, many exporters rushed their shipments earlier this year. It is predicted that this strategy might help exports to the US grow 7 times faster than India’s overall exports. Some businesses even offered discounts to retain long-term buyers, though carrying such losses was never a long-term solution. Despite the uncertainty, July export numbers brought encouraging signs. Gems and jewelry exports jumped 28% in July, even though they had declined in the April–July period. Pharma exports also rose 14% in July compared to 7.4% earlier. Engineering goods showed 13.8% growth in July against 6% for April–July, and plastics recorded 4.4% growth versus 2.6% earlier. These numbers show how the US market provided a strong push. Now, with fears of additional penalties might ease after the talks, Indian exporters, especially MSMEs, might have some breathing space. The focus ahead will be to build on the momentum, safeguard jobs, and keep strengthening India’s position in the US market. What are your thoughts, how the US-Russia talks can reshape the future of Indian exports?

CXOToday asked me to share my perspective on how Warehousing 2.0 is reshaping India’s supply chain. Over the years, I’ve seen this sector undergo a remarkable shift and my own journey has shown me how quickly things can evolve. When I first began working with warehouses, the focus was largely on infrastructure and compliance. Today, the sector has shifted into a more advanced phase; powered by data, technology, and stronger regulatory frameworks. The real measure of progress will be not be how big warehouses are, but how well they perform and 3PLs will continue to shape that requirement.

The authors description of India’s logistics sector as connected, competitive and confident reflects the results of deliberate policy, digital integration and infrastructure investment. The National Logistics Policy, ULIP and Multi-Modal Logistics Parks are not isolated reforms. Together, they are creating an interoperable ecosystem where stakeholders can share trusted data, optimise multimodal routes and track consignments in real time. Embedding these principles into every link of the supply chain will lower costs, improve predictability and strengthen India’s position in global trade. The momentum is here and the task ahead is to sustain and deepen it.
