As the 1930s wore on, Adav recognized a fundamental shift in global power dynamics. While the British Empire slowly waned, a new economic and technological colossus was rising in the West: the United States of America. Unlike the European colonial powers, the US possessed unparalleled industrial might and a more open approach to technological collaboration. Adav saw America as a vital partner for India's accelerated ascent.
He began actively cultivating ties with the United States, utilizing Prime Minister Bose's diplomatic channels and Bharat Corporation's extensive international network. Bose, on Adav's instruction, made several high-profile visits to America, presenting India not as a newly independent nation seeking aid, but as a vast, stable, and rapidly industrializing market with immense potential. American industrialists, many grappling with the lingering effects of the Depression, were receptive to the idea of new markets and investment opportunities.
Adav, remaining in the background, orchestrated specific overtures. Bharat Corporation encouraged American investment in India's burgeoning industries, particularly in areas where American technology excelled: advanced manufacturing processes, mass production techniques, and early electronics. He facilitated joint ventures where American firms could establish factories in India, sharing profits and, crucially, transferring cutting-edge expertise to Indian engineers. These agreements were carefully structured to ensure genuine knowledge transfer, not just assembly line operations. India was positioned as America's preferred economic partner in Asia, a strategic counterpoint to British imperial influence, subtly shifting the balance of power.
