  • India’s triumphs amidst 21 century challenges

    India’s triumphs amidst 21 century challenges

    Mumbai:  The India Today Conclave is back, with its theme of ‘Brand Bharat: An Assertive Nation in an Uncertain World. The 21 editions of the conclave is all set to redefine India’s narrative on the global stage on 15-16 March 2024 in New Delhi. The India Today Conclave presents a symphony of influential voices converging from various sectors, expressing India’s dynamic evolution amidst the ever-shifting currents of global challenges.

    In the wake of significant global disruptions, including the financial crisis of 2008 and the more recent COVID-19 pandemic, India, that is Bharat, has consistently demonstrated resilience and leadership to emerge stronger than ever. From spearheading the fight against the pandemic to highlighting diplomatic prowess on the world stage, Bharat has emerged as a nation ready to navigate through uncertainties.

    The post-pandemic world is caught in several unending wars, including those in the Ukraine and Gaza. In an increasingly polarised environment, where rules of engagements have changed, Bharat, despite its own unstable neighbourhood, walks the talk confidently, practising the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family) but never losing sight of its own interest and position in the emerging world order.

    From leading the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic to providing decisive leadership to the G20 nations to navigating its way out of two wars with a fine blend of pragmatism and diplomacy to standing its ground against developed nations on climate change, Bharat has branded itself as a nation ready to lead any mission for the global good without compromising its own convictions. From spirituality to the knowledge economy, from yoga to Chandrayaan, Bharat’s global imprint is ever-expanding.

    The 21 editions of the India Today Conclave will host thought-provoking discussions, exploring how India, with its political stability and unique social vibrancy, can ascend to the forefront of geopolitics and business. The event promises a concise yet impactful debate on India’s role in shaping the global landscape.

    The distinguished speakers at the conclave include prime minister Narendra Modi, home minister Amit Shah, External Affairs minister S Jaishankar, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Sadhguru – founder Isha Foundation, Egyptian comedian & TV host Bassem Youssef, Member- Rajya Sabha G V L Narsimha Rao, MLA from Mizoram Baryl Vanneihsangi, vice president RP Sanjiv Goenka Group Shashwat Goenka, Author & Historian Hindol Sengupta, among others. The line-up also features renowned figures from the entertainment industry, including Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Orhan Awatramani (Orry) and others. This diverse group of speakers is set to provide insights into the nation’s future trajectory.

    The India Today Conclave 2024 promises to be a catalytic moment in shaping the narrative of “Brand Bharat.” This gathering of influential minds, spanning politics, business, sports, and entertainment, is set to illuminate the trajectory of India’s role on the global stage.

  • Big Picture at India Today Conclave

    Big Picture at India Today Conclave

    MUMBAI: The second session of the India Today Conclave 2018, The Big Picture, saw politicians Jayant Sinha and Sachin Pilot, economists Mohan Guruswamy and Arvind Panagariya and industrialist Uday Kotak debate the case of the missing jobs. While the politicians countered each other on job creation, Kotak discussed suggestions on how to create new jobs with a focus on the service sector. They stressed on the need to focus on education and link academics with education for imparting skills that make people employable. The debate threw up some startling figures—that demonetisation killed 20 million jobs in the construction industry, 57 per cent of the rural youth cannot do mathematical division.“We need a refocus to look at services. Manufacturing is a game that was played well in earlier times,” Kotak said. Some of the jobs of the future would be in leisure and wellness industry such as physical trainers and dentists.  

    The panel also debated on the role of the government and the private sector in job creation. Sinha was of the view the issue to be debated was not about missing jobs, but about missing data. He cited a recent report that suggested 6 to 7 million jobs are being created every year, if one goes by data mined from the EPFO. A number of jobs are being created in the informal sector, which is sometimes not captured in mainstream data.

     Panagariya stressed that while jobs were there, the main problem was of people not being employed at full productivity and potential. “Talking of jobless growth is nonsense,” he said. The economy cannot grow at a robust 7.3 per cent if not for the contribution of new employment. The real problem is underemployment, and not unemployment, he added.  While Pilot insisted that a government must create an environment that is conducive and positive where industry believes that its investments are safe, Kotak offered suggestions on how to transform the system to create more employment—a “deep rooted correction” in the education system, transforming the banking system to have a more efficient financial system and refocusing the approach to look at the services industry. Guruswamy agreed that skilling is key to creating more employment. An important sector, he said, was construction which employed around 55 million but was hit because of demonetisation. A unanimous point was on the need to skill the youth to make them more employable.

  • Ambani advocates ‘Keep in India’ agenda for PM

    NEW DELHI: Industrialist and Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, has made a strong pitch for “Keep In India” – an addition to the to-do list of the Modi government after Make in India, and Digital India

    Speaking at the India Today conclave in Mumbai over the weekend, Ambani spelt out a vision for how technology can provide solutions to the most challenging problems that India is facing –from education, financial inclusion, healthcare to job creation and entrepreneurship.

    But, he said, there was need to protect Indian data as India emerges as one of the leaders in steering the fourth industrial revolution. “As we enter the digital age, we must remember data and information is power. If the benefits of the Indian technology revolution are to be fully captured –we need to ensure that data remains in India…like Digital India, Make in India, we need Keep in India initiative to ensure data remains within India.”

    He said: “We cannot be arrogant about technology, it has to always serve the common man and we have to learn from the common man.” Apart from connecting 99 per cent Indians digitally, Ambani will be focusing on the education sector, along with his wife Nita Ambani in 2017.

    In his wish list for the prime minister Narendra Modi, Ambani said the challenge is now for execution. He said that India’s lack of existing physical, digital infrastructure is a boon. It takes away the burden of replacing or upgrading existing technology. The most challenging problems facing humanity in India will be solved using technology.

    He felt that India could be a leader in the fourth industrial revolution but the time was now to seize the opportunity to make India a prosperous nation.

    The real impoverishment he said is the denial of opportunity. “We should not allow any Indian to suffer from that poverty.”
