The Entrepreneurial Engine Powering Viksit Bharat
Entrepreneur magazine
|September 2025
As India marches towards its centenary of independence in 2047, the vision of Viksit Bharat—a developed, equitable, and globally competitive nation—has become a shared national aspiration. Entrepreneurship today forms the fulcrum of India's growth engine. The government's vision is to empower both next-generation, family-led entrepreneurs and first-generation startups across industries.
These entrepreneurs are not just building businesses—they are creating jobs and positioning India as the skill capital of the world. This entrepreneurial surge is fueled by favorable government policies, a robust talent pool, and cutting-edge technological advancements. From fintech pioneers and AI innovators to agritech disruptors, India's entrepreneurial jugaad spirit is rewriting the narrative of economic leadership. Together, they are propelling the nation toward its vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat by 2047.
