India on the Global Stage
Annual Industry Forum, Mumbai
What we're living through isn't merely growth. It's recomposition.
The world is shifting. Single centre of gravity to many. India's role: not mimic the West. Build institutions and industries that reflect its own scale. Its own constraints. Its own possibilities.
India 2047. The centenary. The next chapter. In the footsteps of Kalam—the fire latent within India. Youth are the power of the nation. Governance, not politics. The right words. Awakening citizens.
No projections. Numbers are for annual reports. A posture: build long term. Build in systems. Build with the assumption India will be a principal. Not in opposition to the world—in collaboration. India as foundation. World as arena.
Firms that define the next chapter—designed today. By people who think in decades. Who invest in infrastructure that pays off over generations. Who hold their nerve when the cycle turns. Open to trade. Open to partnership. Rooted. Sovereign. Globally engaged.
That's the work. Thank you.
