PUTTING THIS EDITION of BW Businessworld together has been a unique
experience for me, as we brought in stories of resilience, reinvention and
bold ambition, the very qualities shaping India’s growth narrative today.
These are not merely corporate milestones, but markers of the nation’s
progress toward its vision of a Viksit Bharat 2047. From legacy business
houses to technology disruptors, the stories here reflect how India’s growth
journey is being written across regions, sectors and tiers, from Nagpur’s
manufacturing floors to the boardrooms of global technology giants.
At the heart of this edition is Anil Ambani’s remarkable resurgence.
His journey, from grappling with debt to executing a Rs 17,600 crore
capital raise that transformed his group’s balance sheet, is a case study in
vision, strategy and grit. Ambani’s audacious partnership with Dassault
Aviation to build Falcon 2000 jets in Nagpur is more than an industrial
collaboration – it represents India’s growing capability in aerospace
and advanced manufacturing. It speaks of the nation’s determination
to not only ‘Make in India’ but to innovate and lead, aligning with our
broader national aspirations. But this is not a story in isolation. Across
this issue, we spotlight on how Indian businesses, in cities large and small,
are embracing technology, sustainability and innovation to future-proof
their growth. Whether through the rise of digital-first enterprises or
the transformation of traditional industries, what is clear is that India’s
growth is increasingly inclusive and multi-tiered.

INDIA'S ECONOMIC ENIGMA: GROWTH WITHOUT INCLUSION

IN THE HUMMING TECH corridors of Hyderabad and the crowded alleys of Benaras, two Indias jostle for space. One speaks the language of unicorns, private equity, and digital payments. The other is still tethered to subsistence farming, informal jobs, and fragile health systems. Together, they constitute an economic paradox: a nation that has raced to become the world's fourth-largest economy, and yet over 60 per cent of its citizens earn less than $5,000 a year.

The Rare Earth Materials Conundrum

HAVING SEEN SOME clip or the other - about rare earths - almost every day in the leading national dailies, I was curious to understand the importance of these and also the way forward as China continues to ‘ration’ out the same. After reaching out to some scientist/techie friends in the USA and browsing through the usual suspect ‘uncle G’ I think, I have a simple and cogent story to share with the readers.
