Dhruva Advisors had the privilege of hosting an engaging discussion on the Indian Union Budget 2025-26 at the Park Royal Collection, Marina Bay, Singapore on 6th February 2025. The event brought together industry leaders, tax experts, and investors to explore the impact of the proposed tax reforms and their significance for foreign investors.

The session began with Aditya Hans, Partner at Dhruva Advisors, providing an insightful breakdown of the key budgetary changes, particularly the proposed revamp of the Income-tax Act, 1961. He highlighted how these reforms aim to streamline tax laws, reduce compliance burdens, and enhance investor confidence.

This was followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring industry experts Varun Kalsi and Arun Khanna along with Aditya Hans, who shared their perspectives on the budget’s macroeconomic and business implications. The discussion was moderated and impeccably steered by Dilpreet Singh Obhan, Partner, Dhruva Advisors.
