Baba Kalyani, CMD, Bharat Forge, said: "I am really happy that we had the opportunity to have a high powered delegation from Sweden to come to Make in India. If this can be catapulted into a process, this will be a wonderful start for Sweden India Business Leaders Roundtable initiative."

Sweden-India Business Council and the Confederation of Indian Industry, CII will hold a joint Secretariat to facilitate SIBLERT.

"CII is indeed pleased to partner with the Sweden India Business Council and be the Secretariat from the India side for the Sweden India Business Leaders Round Table which has been constituted as an outcome of the recent India visit of the Swedish Prime Minister. This Round Table would seek to enhance business to business linkages between the two countries and truly take the economic relationship between the two countries to its next level," said Chandrajit Banerji, Director General, Confederation of Indian Industry.

"With SIBLERT we will actively contribute to the collaboration of top industrialists and CEOs in a fashion in line with the traditions of SIBC. Having the SIBLERT secretariat with us is of course a great honour, as is partnering with one of our founders in CII," added Robin Sukhia, Secretary General and President of SIBC. [SIBC was founded by the Swedish Confederation of Enterprises and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).]
