Taking to X handle, Sarma wrote, “My meeting with Chairman of @TataCompanies Shri N Chandrasekharan was a fruitful one. In addition to topics relating to the upcoming #AdvantageAssam 2.0, we talked at length about the rich potential Assam offers to investors and entrepreneurs.”

The CM embarked on a three-day tour to Mumbai on Saturday to attract potential players for the investor summit. He met CEOs of various Tata group entities.

“Today in Mumbai, I had a productive meeting with CEOs from various Tata Group entities. We also invited them to participate in #AdvantageAssam2.0 which, in my opinion, will be an excellent platform to deepen the long-standing partnership between Assam & Tata Group,” the CM further stated.

Sarma said, “This summit is a platform to showcase Assam's rich traditions to a global audience in addition to attracting investors.” A spectacular Jhumur dance performance with more than 7,500 dancers and artists will be part of the event. It will be an extraordinary show, the CM said.
