The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) Doha Chapter, in collaboration with the Embassy of India, organized a forum on ‘Foreign Investments in India: Regulation and Protection’ at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Doha.

Inaugurating the event, India’s Ambassador to Qatar, H E Vipul emphasized the importance of foreign investments in India’s economic strategy. “India-Qatar relations are on a strong, sound footing, with ties that are historically deep and multifaceted. The Government of India has taken numerous steps over the past decade to attract foreign investment, and it is encouraging to see such efforts being actively promoted in forums like this,” he said.

The keynote address was delivered by CA Sreejith Kuniyil, Managing Partner at CAPITAIRE, who provided a detailed analysis of India’s regulatory framework governing foreign investments and the mechanisms in place to protect investors.

The event saw a large participation of ICAI Doha Chapter members and chartered accountants, reflecting the strong interest in foreign investment opportunities and regulations.

With the chapter’s longstanding presence in Qatar and the active involvement of its members, the event underscored the importance of continued engagement between India and Qatar in economic matters.
Chairperson of the ICAI Doha Chapter, CA Kamlesh Tibrewal, welcomed the attendees, highlighting two upcoming ICAI initiatives: a plantation drive and a startup surge which are scheduled to take place in the months of September and October 2024.
