Pleased to meet Shri @sanghaviharsh, Dy CM of Gujarat, along with representatives from FICCI & Ahmedabad's sports sector. A valuable exchange on Gujarat’s vision for integrated sports ecosystems, international sporting events & partnerships that can further strengthen 🇫🇷🇮🇳 ties.

FICCI Gujarat facilitated high-level engagements during the visit of HE Mr @thierry_mathou, Ambassador of France to India, to Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, focused on strengthening cooperation in sports infrastructure, policy, innovation, and global sporting partnerships. The visit and discussions were accompanied by Mr @GokulJaykrishna, Chair, FICCI Gujarat State Council, and Mr Sanjay Adesara, Co-Chair, FICCI Sports Committee, reflecting FICCI’s continued commitment towards enabling international collaboration in the sports sector. The discussions with senior Government representatives and industry leaders reflected Gujarat’s growing ambition to emerge as a globally recognised sporting destination and a leading “sports city” model integrating world-class infrastructure, urban development, tourism, technology, and economic growth. A key highlight of the visit was the tour of the Narendra Modi Stadium and the broader Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave, showcasing the scale of India’s sporting ambitions and the transformative vision being pursued by Gujarat. The engagement also builds upon the growing Indo-French partnership momentum ahead of RIGES in France, where India will be the Country of Honour, and FICCI TURF 2026, where France will be positioned as the Partner Country. FICCI remains committed to enabling meaningful partnerships that strengthen India’s sports economy and deepen international cooperation through sport.

At Narendra Modi Stadium, an iconic venue to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. Under the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave project, it reflects India’s ambition to host major events, and opens new avenues for 🇫🇷🇮🇳 cooperation.

Inspired by @SabarmatiAshram, a place carrying the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi. French company Chargeurs Museum Studio is contributing with Ecofirst Services Ltd, a subsidiary of Tata Group, to the restoration of the Ashram’s historic bungalows for its redevelopment project.

At @NID_India, which plays a central role in the history of design in India, with very innovative teaching methods and its high-quality equipment. NID shares long-standing ties with several institutions in France.

Glad to be at @CEPTUniversity1, a long-standing partner of France in architecture and urban planning. Through student exchanges, young Indian architects gained valuable experience with French firms, strengthening 🇫🇷🇮🇳 coop in sustainable urban development.

Visited Kanoria Centre for Arts in Ahmedabad, an important space for exhibitions, performances and artistic dialogue. Glad to see its collaboration with Alliance Française d’Ahmedabad helping strengthen cultural exchanges and creative ties between France and India.

A moving visit of Studio Sangath in Ahmedabad. Remembering Dr. B.V. Doshi, visionary architect of landmark sites & 🇫🇷🇮🇳 ties through his close collaboration with Le Corbusier in Paris, Chandigarh & Ahmedabad. His legacy continues to inspire generations across our two countries.

Congratulations @PSG !
