Royal scion Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma announced today that he recently met with Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, and Harshavardhan Neotia, Chairman of Ambuja Cement, during the Rising Northeast Investors Summit 2025 in New Delhi.
Several investment proposals were discussed, many of which are expected to be made in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).
Pradyot emphasized the historic inclusion of TTAADC in the summit.
“Had a very productive meeting with Mukesh Ambani and Harshavardhan Neotia. Quite a few investments have been proposed, and many of them will focus on the tribal areas,” he said.
Highlighting the economic potential of Northeast India, Pradyot added, “If the Northeast can be developed positively and the summit realizes even 50% of its potential, this region will emerge as a key economic zone—not just within India but globally.”
He further contrasted India’s western and eastern borders, stating, “India’s western border—with Afghanistan and Pakistan—remains hostile and stagnant. But to the east, countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand in the ASEAN region are experiencing tremendous growth. If the Northeast is connected to this dynamic region, it will benefit not only the Northeast but the entire country.”
Pradyot reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Act East’ policy: “It’s about actively engaging with the East, not merely looking eastward.”
