The MoU envisions structured collaboration across multiple fronts, including establishment of joint working groups with relevant government ministries and regulators to address trade-related bottlenecks faced by digital services exporters; coordinated participation in global trade shows, delegations and bilateral forums to create international market access for Indian startups and digital businesses; organising capacity-building initiatives to support export readiness among emerging digital sectors; and promotion of key high-potential verticals including AdTech, FinTech, HealthTech, SaaS, Digital Entertainment, Edutech, Agri Summit, and Cross-Border E-commerce.
