Gov. Ned Lamont is on a trip India with state officials and business leaders.

The trip aims to increase economic ties with Indian companies and to bring business growth to Connecticut.

"There are several notable Indian companies that have expressed interest in expanding their operations to North America," said Lamont. "And we plan on meeting with them to let them know why Connecticut is an excellent place for them to select as their base of operations."

Lamont's business trip ends March 1.
