Something remarkable has happened in the economic relationship between India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). UAE entities have invested over $22 billion into India since 2000, while Indian companies have invested more than $16 billion into the UAE. The corridor is becoming a platform not just for bilateral exchange but also for global reach. India this week hosts the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi (February 16-20, 2026) — the first global AI summit held in the Global South. The UAE and India are demonstrating what becomes possible when two countries align policy, capital, and execution around a shared vision.
