INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP AND ENERGY AT THE CORE OF INDIA@2047
BW Businessworld
|Anniversary Special Issue, September - October 2025.
Clean energy, manufacturing scale and responsible leadership will define how Indian industry drives transformation on the road to Viksit Bharat
IN 2047, INDIA WILL COMPLETE 100 years as an independent nation. That centenary is going to be a test of what we have built, how we have grown, and whether we have truly transformed from a developing nation into a global force. The next two decades will decide whether our rise is linear or transformational. That outcome will not be shaped by policies alone, but by how businesses, institutions, and leadership step up in real terms. This is about character, which will shape the nature of India's rise.
Over the past decade, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has taken bold strides toward its Vision 2047 for a Viksit Bharat, a developed, resilient, and inclusive economy. With landmark reforms, the policy ecosystem is now more aligned than ever with the industry's aspirations. The recent milestone of achieving 50 per cent of the 2030 renewable energy target, well ahead of time, is a testament to the country's execution ability and commitment to global climate goals.
Indian businesses are no longer working in silos or confined to domestic relevance. We are building for scale, leading innovation, and engaging with the world on our terms. According to recent estimates, India can generate up to $2 trillion in annual revenue across 18 dynamic, future-facing sectors by 2030. This is a shift in our industrial DNA, which comes with responsibility. The role of business must evolve from being a growth engine to becoming a nation-building partner.
