Good to see the emphasis on inclusive development. Reforms should not just be about GDP numbers but also about improving lives for farmers and small business owners. Hope the survey's roadmap translates into tangible benefits for them.

The infrastructure push is visible everywhere! New highways, airports, metros... it's changing the face of the country. This is the kind of foundation we need for a $5 trillion economy. Kudos to the pace of work! 🇮🇳

As someone working in the startup ecosystem, the boost to innovation and entrepreneurship is very real. The ease of doing business has improved, and there's definitely more global investor interest. The survey seems to capture that momentum well.

While the survey is optimistic, I respectfully hope the government also addresses the inflation that affects the common man's kitchen budget. Strong macro fundamentals are great, but price stability is what we feel daily.

The digital transformation is undeniable. From UPI to DigiLocker, services have become more accessible. If this 'Reform Express' can keep integrating technology with governance, it will be a game-changer for millions.
