Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi positioned India as a reliable partner in an increasingly uncertain world, warning that the supply chains, trade and technologies that once connected countries are increasingly being used as instruments of coercion.

Modi made the comments in his welcome address at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi, which brings together investors, executives and government officials.

Bloomberg's The Pulse With Francine Lacqua presented special programming from New Delhi, discussing the global outlook and India's role as one of the fastest-growing major economies.

Today's guests: Mohamed Kande, PwC Global Chairman; Noubar Afeyan, Moderna Co-founder & Chairman and Flagship Pioneering Founder & CEO; Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Biocon Executive Chairperson & Founder; Connor Teskey, Brookfield Asset Management CEO
