Abstract
The Indo-Pacific has emerged as the world's most consequential geopolitical theater, where the strategic interests of India and the United States are increasingly aligned against China's assertive rise. This article examines the future trajectory of India-U.S. relations in the Indo-Pacific, analyzing the drivers of cooperation in defense, economics, and technology, while addressing persistent challenges. It evaluates the impact of initiatives like the Quad, defense technology transfers, and supply chain resilience partnerships on regional stability. The study argues that while structural factors favor deeper strategic alignment, divergences on Russia, trade, and climate policy could constrain the partnership. The article concludes with policy recommendations for strengthening this critical bilateral relationship in an era of great power competition.
