Putting aside their party affiliations, the Centre and States came together in Davos, at least in terms of the space for their respective pavilions.
Two India pavilions, just a few blocks apart on the same side of the famous Promenade street, together house all lounges and meeting rooms for the Union ministers, Central government departments and State governments.
The first one has pavilions of Kerala, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh. Apart from the delegation from these States, the second one has pavilions of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
Both pavilions will also host five union ministers at different times, while the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and Invest India are also present — the two agencies handling most of the country’s presence here.
Industry body CII is also present with a large delegation of CEOs and other business leaders.
