India Unstoppable

India's digital economy is on track to contribute a fifth of the GDP by 2026 and help the country reach the goal of a $5-trillion economy

It is certainly that time of the year or life of the government when you start looking forward, after looking back, and start engaging in conversations about what the future will look like based on the effort and progress made in the past 10 years. It’s a legitimate question, something that most Indians must ponder. Because, over the past 10 years, even the worst cynic on the planet will agree that India has certainly transformed in multiple ways.

There is a new political culture that is visible—a culture of performance, one that delivers. There is a governance framework that is extremely visible. It’s responsive and connected to almost every citizen using technology and innovation. And there is ambition. And, therefore, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the nation is aspiring to even more growth and greatness.

So, looking at the past 10 years and forward to this dream that was never imaginable in our lifetime before—of achieving the status of first the third-largest economy in the world and then becoming a developed nation within 100 years of independence—it is certainly something that we should understand and talk about.
