US-India Collaborative Corridor

Piscataway, NJ — September 16, 2025:

A 16-member business delegation from the Kanara Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI), Gujarat, visited the US-India Collaborative Corridor (USICC) at Entry USA in Piscataway, New Jersey. Organized in partnership with the Middlesex County Regional Chamber of Commerce and Choose New Jersey, and supported by the Consulate General of India, New York, the visit underscored New Jersey’s growing importance as a soft-landing hub for Indian companies.

“Our goal is to provide Indian businesses with a one-key solution for their U.S. expansion — from entity setup and visas to warehousing and first customers,” said Navin Pathak, CEO of Entry USA, who hosted and moderated the session.

The program featured practical guidance from experts:

• Ajay Kumar (CPA) stressed that proper company setup and compliance are critical for long-term success in the U.S.
• Geetha Rajavarapu (Immigration Expert) outlined how L1-A and L1-B visas can support leadership mobility and expansion strategies.
• Rena Sherman (Choose New Jersey) highlighted why the state is the most strategic location in the U.S., citing its proximity to New York and Philadelphia, competitive incentives, and skilled workforce.
• Dr. Kalindi Bakshi (Middlesex County Government) showcased Middlesex County’s strengths in life sciences, food innovation, and advanced industries, often referred to as “Gujarat outside of Gujarat.”

A lively panel discussion followed, with Jayanti Chandrasekar (Entry USA), Aditya Khurjekar (Investor & 2x Exited Founder), and Larry Richards (Founder, BEX Network) sharing insights on winning first U.S. customers, aligning investor narratives, and structuring enterprise partnerships.

Delegates also toured the US-India Collaborative Corridor, which provides office space, warehousing with pick-pack-ship, product display racks, and curated buyer-seller meets — all designed to accelerate India→US growth.

“The KCCI visit reflects the deep appetite at the company level — beyond policy — for India–U.S. partnerships. Businesses are eager to collaborate and explore opportunities together,” added Pathak.

The evening concluded with high tea and networking, building connections between KCCI members and New Jersey stakeholders across chambers, investors, and industry.
