By combining Tata Capital's local financial expertise with Resona Bank's strong network of Japanese enterprises, this non-exclusive collaboration creates a practical framework to support cross-border business expansion. Institutional commitments like the US$20 million fund investment further demonstrate long-term confidence in India's macroeconomic growth story." — Dr. Shishir Gupta, Founder & CEO, StartupLanes
