Rai, a 29-year Intel veteran who received the prestigious Nari Shakti Puraskar, was initially given a three-year tenure upon her appointment. The extension was granted until January 2027. Invest India, a not-for-profit organization established under public-private partnership in 2009, is overseen by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade under the Commerce and Industry Ministry.",
