He stated India is open to the world, and to new ideas. He nudged the global community to ‘come here, innovate here for India... for the world.’ 

He stated ‘The Indian economy is growing at a consistent clip at a very good rate. In the next 10 years, India will continue to see a 6-8 per cent consistent growth rate... I can say that with a high level of confidence.’ The building blocks for this are already in place and the results are visible, he said, outlining various initiatives taken by the government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Further, he said improvement in physical and digital infrastructure, education and skilling, as well as innovation and development, has bolstered the country's growth. The next five years will further lay the foundation for India to become a developed country by 2047. The focus over the next five years will be on the full spectrum of manufacturing, upliftment through education, and infusion of technology in the healthcare sector, among other priorities. Besides, he said that in the current global geopolitical backdrop, many old structures are getting revised, and added it is time to reposition the country.
