Dear Readers,
ON 26 MAY 2023, the Narendra Modi government completed nine years
of office amidst a media blitz, as the Press and political pundits got about
speculating on the outcome of the 2024 general elections. We, here at BW
Businessworld look back at the high points of Prime Minister Modi’s nine
years in office too, but with insights from industry stalwarts on what has
changed in the spheres of business and the economy. We also map the
milestones of PM Modi’s leadership in a graphic illustration.
This issue of the magazine also features the winners of the sixth edition
of BW CFO World’s Best CFO & Finance Strategy Awards. The Best Chief
Financial Officers demonstrated their acumen by successfully steering
their firms through macroeconomic headwinds to ensure sustained
growth and value creation. As the line between the roles of the CFO and
CEO blurs, CFOs tend to play a more active role in realising the CEO’s
vision of the business. As they exhibit the vision and agility to prepare
their firms to tackle unforeseen economic challenges, the oft bestowed
epithet of the Chief Future Officer rings true.

Happy reading!

CUE FOR QUEUES

STAND IN LINE\" or \"wait for your turn\" were oft-heard instructions in my school days. These were an integral part of a norm or a cue to form a queue, in many - if not all - parts of the country. If this is yet so, one wonders why it is not imbibed as a habit to be carried forward in later life. In most instances, a queue is formed only when there is enforcement. Instances abound, as evidenced and experienced in daily life.

Food Security

IN two of my earlier columns for this magazine (Climate Change - 31 December, 2022 and Water Conservation - 17 December, 2022) I have written about the perils of our inadequate action on tackling the challenges posed by climate change and our lack of respect for water. One of the biggest issues that can confront our country -indeed the whole world - is insufficiency of food for the growing population.
