He underscored the nation's transition from being one of the "Fragile Five" economies to “Top Four” now competing with the most developed nations on key global indicators.
Dr. Singh highlighted India's dramatic improvement in the Global Innovation Index, rising from Rank 80 to 39 in just a few years. "This index is a universal parameter - not developed by us, but by the global community," he remarked, adding that this reflects international confidence in India's innovation ecosystem.
