New Delhi, 17th Feb 2026 : Champions Group on Friday 14th Feb announced two major
country-wide growth initiatives at the Global Business Summit 2026, aimed at
accelerating India’s global trade integration and building next-generation
economic ecosystems across the country.
The announcements coincided with Shree Narendra Modi Prime Minister of India signing the landmark EU–India
Free Trade Agreement, a historic step expected to significantly boost bilateral
trade between India and the European Union.
Capitalising on the agreement, Champion Infometrics, the data
and trade intelligence arm of Champions Group, unveiled a first-of-its-kind “EU–India
B2B Growth Platform”, designed to double import-export volumes between
India and EU member nations.
The platform is positioned as a digital trade infrastructure
enabling Indian companies and MSMEs to identify verified demand, discover
buyers and suppliers, and transact seamlessly across European markets.
Speaking at the summit, Mr. Subhakar Rao Surapaneni,
Chairman, Champions Group, said,
“This is the right time to structurally transform EU–India
trade. We are onboarding former Prime Ministers and Presidents from European
countries to our board to enable smoother trade cooperation. The platform we
are launching is powered by a global intent engine that helps businesses
understand exactly which of their products or services are in demand across
markets, making it a significant trade enabler for MSMEs and large enterprises
alike.”
The company stated that the platform’s intent-based intelligence
layer will help reduce market entry friction and accelerate cross-border trade
execution. In a parallel announcement, Champions Group also revealed global
alliances for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and Data Centres across three
Champions Beach Cities planned in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh.
These developments will integrate crystal lagoon–based beach
communities, wellness-led urban planning, and sustainable building solutions
sourced from Belgium, Italy, and Sweden, as part of the Champions Beach Cities
rollout.
Ms. Hemamalini Nidamanuri, Managing Director, Champion Infratech, said,
“During the Global Business Summit, our team had several
meetings with the leadership of organisations including Motherson, Times Group,
CBRE, LOFT, JETRO, and the Government of Uttar Pradesh. These engagements are
translating into strong global and domestic alliances. We are excited to see
more world-class crystal lagoon beach community projects in India, enabled by
superior sustainable materials and global best practices.”
Champions Group stated that the twin initiatives—spanning
digital trade platforms and integrated economic cities—are aligned with India’s
broader vision of becoming a global trade hub and a preferred destination for
GCCs, data centres, and sustainable urban development.
