US Commerce Secy visits Mahindra World City, Jaipur [28 Mar 2012]

The US Secretary of Commerce, John Bryson, who is leading an Infrastructure Trade Mission to India on a three city tour (New Delhi, Jaipur and Mumbai), visited Mahindra World City, Jaipur on 28th March. The delegation comprised top level management personnel representing US firms from energy, transportation and infrastructure sectors.
Speaking on the occasion, the US Secretary commented, “It’s clear that the US – India trade and investment relationship has grown significantly in recent years, and places like Mahindra World City in Jaipur show opportunities for that relationship to grow even more. From urban planning to energy conservation, American businesses, including those joining me on this trade mission, are engaging in a range of sectors to help build the economic potential of places like Mahindra World City. If American and Indian businesses work together, we can build India’s infrastructure in a way that brings inclusive growth, greater prosperity, and more jobs to people in both of our countries.”
Arun Nanda, Director, Mahindra & Mahindra said, “The visit of this high level delegation from the United States will help us in facilitating exchange of ideas, best practices and experiences in sustainable infrastructure development, especially for the Mahindra World Cities. Their help in building our infrastructure will signify inclusive growth for all”.
Anita Arjundas, MD & CEO, Mahindra Lifespace Developers said, “The growth trajectory of India now lies in developing cities other than the metros in order to maintain a sustainable growth. We, at Mahindra World City, believe that the concept of “live, work, learn, play” has to come to the fore, if holistic development of not just infrastructure but of people too has to occur. The exchange of thoughts and ideas with the US Infrastructure Trade Mission should help us in that direction”.
