Moreover, he said that “From a US perspective, it is required to leverage India on vaccination diplomacy. Indian factories produce these vaccines so they can provide it to the rest of the world, and they can make this vaccine much, much cheaper than anybody else can get.

Last week, USISPF now has 300+ Fortune 500 companies as it’s celebrated its fourth anniversary. Four years ago, Aghi and several top American corporate leaders established USISPF. At that time, Aghi was the head of the US-India Business Council or USIBC, and he left along with the entire board member of USIBC to establish and set up USISPF.
