Strengthening the Bridge: Indo-Japan Investors Conclave to Facilitate Global Expansion for Indian Founders in Tokyo
What is the news?
The bilateral relationship between India and Japan is set to reach a new milestone this February with the commencement of the Indo-Japan Investors Conclave in Tokyo. Running from February 26 to 28 at the Funabori Tower Hall, this first-of-its-kind initiative is designed to move beyond exploratory dialogue and toward concrete deal-flow. The conclave is being convened by Karunanidhi Kasinathan, a prominent figure in the Indo-Japan business corridor and the Founder of K-KCCS India Pvt Ltd. With over eight years of experience in fostering linkages between the two nations, Kasinathan’s “Indo-Japan Bridge Organization” is positioning this event as a repeatable, institutionalized gateway for Indian innovation.
Why is it interesting?
The conclave targets high-impact sectors where Indian-origin founders are currently leading global trends, such as Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors, and renewable energy. By bringing together SMEs, project owners, and Japanese institutional stakeholders under a professionally moderated framework, the event seeks to provide Indian companies with direct exposure to Japanese venture capital and low-interest funding mechanisms. This effort directly supports the “Global Indian Alpha” mission by showcasing India not just as a talent pool, but as a sophisticated hub of intellectual capital capable of solving complex global challenges.
With support from the Embassy of India in Tokyo and major Japanese agencies like JETRO and JICA, the conclave serves as a strategic platform for Indian founders to scale their operations internationally. The focus on “zero-risk” models for participants highlights a commitment to reducing the friction often associated with cross-border market entry, ensuring that high-potential Indian startups have a clear pathway to becoming global leaders.
