MUMBAI:  N. Chandrasekaran, the chairman of Tata Sons, has been named the chair of Business 20 India and will oversee the business agenda during the nation's G20 Presidency,  an official statement said here on Wednesday.

The Confederation of Indian Industry, India's apex industry body, has been named the B20 India Secretariat by the government to lead the B20 India process, from December 1, when India's terms as G20 President began.

The B20 was established in 2010 and serves as the official G20 conversation platform for the international business community. It is one of the most well-known engagement groups in the G20 and welcomes participation from businesses and business organisations.

With a single voice on behalf of the whole G20 business community, it drives the process of mobilising top business executives around the world for their opinions on matters of global economic and trade governance.

"The involvement of businesses in global economic decision-making has never been more crucial as India begins its leadership of the B20 amid numerous global events and transformations. We think that a refreshed business approach to bolstering international partnerships will promote economic stability, advancement, and growth that is inclusive and sustainable "said Chandrasekaran on his appointment.
