New Delhi [India], June 26 (ANI): Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal held key meetings with senior leaders of global companies to discuss ways to boost exports from India, enhance investments, and promote skill development in key sectors.

In a recent meeting, the minister interacted with Aseem Kaushik, Managing Director of L'Oreal India, and Krishna Vilasini Bharadwaj, Director, Corporate Affairs & Engagement at L'Oreal India.

In a social media post on Wenesday the minister stated, 'Met Mr. Aseem Kaushik, MD, and Ms. Krishna Vilasini Bharadwaj, Director, Corporate Affairs & Engagement at L'Oreal India.'

The discussions focused on the company's expansion plans in India and explored new opportunities to boost exports of beauty and personal care products from the country.

The meeting also covered the potential of strengthening the skill development ecosystem in India by training professionals in the beauty and personal care industry.
