MOSCOW / Russia, 8 October 2025: Sberbank showcased its comprehensive suite of business and financial solutions aimed at strengthening Russia-India trade relations during the World Food India 2025 international exhibition held in New Delhi.
The bank’s stand was visited by a Russian delegation led by Dmitry Patrushev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, who discussed avenues for expanding bilateral trade, particularly in the agro-industrial sector.
At the event, Ivan Nosov, CEO of Sberbank PJSC’s branch in India, briefed the delegation on the bank’s integrated financial offerings—including products in rubles and rupees, as well as trade facilitation tools designed to help businesses in both countries enhance their turnover.
Patrushev emphasised the need to intensify bilateral efforts in promoting Russian exports and expanding business operations in the Indian market, underlining agriculture as a key focus area.
Through its Business Development project, Sberbank enables Indian and Russian companies to shorten the time spent identifying business partners, streamline trade processes, and foster mutually beneficial collaborations. The bank also offers financial instruments such as letter of credit discounting and post-shipment loans, allowing Indian exporters to receive payments without waiting for contract deferral periods to end.
“We greatly appreciate the attention and support from the Government of the Russian Federation,” said Ivan Nosov. “Sberbank sees immense potential in Russia-India trade and is investing in creating a seamless financial infrastructure to support businesses in both nations.”
In addition to its participation at the exhibition, Sberbank organised a business mission for Russian agricultural clients, featuring key industry representatives. Delegates held discussions on expanding export cooperation and toured production facilities in India, noting the high standards of product quality and technology.
World Food India is one of the country’s largest exhibitions dedicated to food processing, agriculture, and allied sectors, bringing together domestic and international stakeholders, investors, and government representatives to promote global trade partnerships.
