Introduction
Mint, in association with JSA Advocates and Solicitors, presents Mint Leadership Dialogues—a platform where India’s leading business figures, investors, policymakers, and thinkers converge to chart the path toward Vikshit Bharat.
This series examines the crucial role of investors and businesses across various sectors in building capacity and creating opportunities essential for holistic growth. It highlights how collaboration among businesses, legal frameworks, and policymakers can drive equitable distribution of opportunities, thereby advancing India toward its goal of becoming a developed economy.
To achieve Vikshit Bharat by 2047, we must focus on inclusive, holistic, and sustainable growth that benefits every Indian. The objective is to ensure equitable access to opportunities that allow all individuals to achieve higher incomes and contribute to national development.
Addressing per capita income disparities is key to this transformation. Each sector plays a vital role in creating the growth multiplier needed to realize India’s ambitious development goals.
