For many in Italy, India is perceived as a country, with areas of absolute excellence but with a modest political clout. That's not how things really are. India has seen for quite some time an accelerated economic and productivity growth, for which IT is one, but not the only crowning pinnacle. Italy, for its part, has played an important role from the early stages of indipendent India's agricultural revolution, and mass motorisation came to the country thanks to Italian industry. After a period in which this presence abted for various reasons, relations have entered a new phase of accelerated growth at the political and economic level.

Emma Marcegaglia, CEO of the eponymous group, is AIICP\u2019S President, Sajjan Jindal, Chairman of the JSW Steel Group, is its Co-President and Ambassador Antonio Armellini is Executive Vice President.<br \/>The natural empathy between the two countries does not always translate into an in-depth knowledge of each other's realities, on which stereotypes and generalizations play. For many in Italy, the perception of India is that of an interesting country, with still limited potential.<\/p><p><br \/>To Indian eyes, on the other hand, Italy appears often as a \u201clikeable\u201d country with pockets of excellence and a modest political clout. It was not always like this: India has since long taken the brink of economic and productive growth of which IT represents one, but not the only point of excellence. Italy, for its part, has been present since the early stages of the agricultural revolution during the early stages of India\u2019s independence and it is with the Italian industry that its two- and four-wheel mass motorization has developed. The presence abated in the following years for different reasons, however relations have entered a new phase of accelerated growth at the political and economic level. It is necessary to work so that the numerous Italian success stories in several areas can be translated into a critical mass.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-658a96f\" data-id=\"658a96f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2770ecd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2770ecd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"699\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/italindia-aiicp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/business-partners-P7X7WVM.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italindia-aiicp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/business-partners-P7X7WVM.png 699w, https:\/\/italindia-aiicp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/business-partners-P7X7WVM-300x263.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ca8f264 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ca8f264\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e9cd454\" data-id=\"e9cd454\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f8bb35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9f8bb35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><span style=\"color: #6e7c90; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;\">AIICP, India-Italy Association for Cooperation and Partnershipstarted its activity despite the limitations posed by the covid-19 pandemic, proposing itself as a useful Indo-Italian tool for soft power actions in both countries broadening the bases of mutual understanding, addressing misguided perceptions and offering the means for increased attention and influence in both directions. As an independent body, it cooperates in an open and flexible manner with other structures and institutions: its principal economic and commercial focus is accompanied by a particular attention for political, social and cultural dynamics, the positive combination of which is crucial to overcoming distorting stereotypes and setting the ground for the development of mutually advantageous relations.\n\nAIICPparticipation is open not only to all those who are already successfully engaged in India, but also and in particular to anyone who shares the view that it represents a challenge and an opportunity that cannot be left aside. India may not yet be the global superpower it aims to become but is moving fast in that direction; it looks at the world primarily in terms of force relationships and represents a market of fundamental importance for an industrialized exporting country like Italy.
