Sweden-India Business Council is a people business. Here are the people.
From the CEO Forum to our Stockholm and Delhi teams, every relationship Sweden-India Business Council holds runs through a person you can meet.
The CEO Forum
Co-chaired leadership, reporting directly to the Prime Ministers of Sweden and India.
Marcus Wallenberg
Co-Chair, CEO Forum (Sweden)
Sweden and India don't just trade goods — we trade trust. That's the bridge I show up to build every year.
Anand Kapoor
Co-Chair, CEO Forum (India)
The best partnerships are the ones no government could mandate — this Council makes room for those to happen.
Reports jointly to the Prime Ministers of Sweden and India
Board of Directors
Karin Nyström
Chair · Volvo Group
Governance should be quiet and rigorous, so the Council's real work for members can be loud.
Sanjay Rao
Vice Chair · Tata Technologies
Every board decision starts with one question: does this make the bridge stronger for members on both sides?
Erik Berggren
Director · Saab
Defence, industry, energy — the sectors change, but the discipline of showing up for members doesn't.
Meera Iyer
Director · EKN
Risk isn't the enemy of trade — poor information is. My role on this board is to help close that gap.
Advisory Council
Lena Ahlberg
Advisor · KTH
The next generation of this relationship is being built in classrooms and labs right now.
Priya Nair
Advisor · Emirates NBD
Capital finds its way to trust. Sweden and India have built plenty of it — my role is to help it travel further.
Johan Ekström
Advisor · Business Region Gothenburg
A city's economic future is written in the partnerships it keeps. Gothenburg keeps this one close.
Arjun Malhotra
Advisor · Independent
I've watched this Council turn a handshake into a decade-long supply chain more than once.
The Sweden-India Business Council team
Sofia Lindberg
Managing Director · Stockholm
Members don't call us when things are easy. That's exactly when the Council should be most useful.
Rahul Deshpande
Country Director · Delhi
Half my job is translation — not of language, but of how business actually gets done here.
Emma Björk
Head of Membership
The first email a new member sends us is usually a question. My job is to make sure it never goes unanswered.
Vikram Chandra
Head of Events · Mumbai
A good event is just a well-designed room for the right conversation to happen in.
