One Globe Forum is the equivalent of Davos for India & South Asia and brings thought leaders from government, business, academia, non-profit and multilateral sectors from around the world each year to New Delhi. The forum focuses on the ideas, issues and impact of the new government’s ambitious agenda to transform India into a 21st century knowledge economy through its initiatives like “Digital India,” “Make in India,” “Smart Cities” and “Entrepreneurship.”
Mr. Kumar, besides being a successful global entrepreneur with an installed base of a billion-plus dollars of electronic products in every corner of this world, is also a prodigious inventor with 22 US patents in electronics to his name. He invented the first microprocessor-based French Fry computer for McDonald’s as well as the Programmable Limit Switch (PLS) for the automation industry. He has also served as president or CEO of Circuit International Incorporated, Microfast Controls Corporation, Electronic Support Systems, PEC Reliance, Lika Tandy Corporation, Mc Technologies, and Hi-Tech Systems Corporation.
From being a business prodigy to delving into politics, Mr. Kumar is a familiar face in the US and India as a major political donor and activist for President Donald Trump. He was also a member of Trump’s finance and transition teams. Mr. Kumar is uniquely endowed to foresee transformational events and executes his vision with indefatigable energy and lots of flair. He displayed political prescience and dexterity by supporting President Trump through his presidential campaign, facilitating the famous ‘Ab Ki Baar Trump Sarkar’ campaign inspired by Modi’s famous campaign slogan, and is now poised to play a major role in the expansion of the Indo-US trade relationship. During his keynote address at the event, Mr. Kumar expressed his vision to increase trade between India and the US from USD 100bn to USD 300bn over the next 4 years.
