He further stated that it was a pleasure to interact with representatives of leading family-owned businesses in Singapore.

He also met Ritu Mehlawat, Head of Investments, India, at ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), and discussed investment avenues and collaboration opportunities, given India’s emergence as a preferred destination for data centres.
