US and Japan Commend Indian Lateral Entrant Aashish Chandorkar at WTO Meetings
Aashish Chandorkar, a lateral entrant in India's WTO delegation, received rare personal praise from the United States and Japan during the Trade Policy Review meetings in Geneva. Both countries highlighted his private sector experience as enhancing India's trade discussions. Chandorkar's role exemplifies the Narendra Modi government's approach to incorporating external talent into governance beyond traditional bureaucracy. Such individual recognition in multilateral diplomacy is uncommon, underscoring the significance of this endorsement.
