India is celebrating its 75th independence. For a country that was left behind in abject poverty, India has risen against all odds and today holds a reputable global position. It is the fifth largest economy following US, China, Japan and Germany. India is expected to grow at an average rate of 6.3 per cent and become the third largest economy by 2030. It is at the prime time of benefitting from its youth power and this will propel growth.
This decade is termed to be India’s. Any action taken now, will have a great impact on our growth. To discuss this in detail, Industrial Economist organised a seminar on 25 January on the theme, taking stock, planning ahead, marching forward.
Experts from various fields addressed the pain points that need to be addressed for India to grow exponentially. Excerpts from the seminar.
