Authored and edited an analysis on India's strategic autonomy, multi-alignment approach, and its evolving role in a multipolar world. By leveraging its civilisational wisdom, democratic credentials, and economic ascent, India positions itself as a reformist rather than a revisionist power — one that seeks to improve existing systems rather than dismantle them. The sophisticated interplay of pragmatism, strategic autonomy, and a vision for a multipolar world is well demonstrated by India amidst global turmoil. India's foreign policy, guided by the timeless principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, offers a refreshing perspective; its commitment to dialogue diplomacy and global governance reform signifies not only a strategic shift but a moral vision for the world.

It remains critical for India to focus extensively on demand generation to attract further investment. The partnership underscores responsibility and opportunity to associate for a climate solution, paving the way for the energy transition.
