India must emerge as an innovation-driven economy: Baba Kalyani
Articles- Aug 14,24
In this message, on the occasion of India's 78th Independence Day, Baba Kalyani, Chairman & MD of Bharat Forge Ltd, emphasises on India's journey towards becoming a global leader and the manufacturing sector's role in Viksit Bharat 2047.
As we celebrate the 78th Independence Day of our beloved nation, as proud Indians, it’s our duty to contribute to our nation’s development and help establish India as a global leader.
I have been in the manufacturing business for more than five decades with operations spread across the world. Never in the past have I experienced the kind of confidence and positive impressions that India as a country is casting at the world stage today. Economic Growth, International Diplomacy and Relations, Business Opportunities, Science, Technology and Innovation, Healthcare and even Films, Sports and Culture - I think in every walk of life - India as a country is today at the forefront and has emerged as a major force to reckon with.
This year, we reflect on "Viksit Bharat 2047", a plan to transform India into a developed nation. Over the next 25 years, India is expected to accelerate its economic growth from $ 4 trillion to about $ 30 trillion which is 8 fold jump over a quarter of a century.
Representing the manufacturing sector, I have one key message to the young country men – several opportunities will come our way in the next few years. But, we cannot afford to be merely a ‘factory of the world’ – we must emerge as an “Innovation driven Economy” that manufactures and exports best-in-class products and solutions worldwide. Let us take a pledge to transform India into a "Products Nation".
At Bharat Forge and Kalyani Group of companies, we re-affirm our commitment to contribute to an AatmaNirbhar Bharat, a Sashakt Bharat and a Viksit Bharat!”
Jai Hind!
