India needs a scale of transformation to become 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047: Pranav Adani

Adani Enterprises Director Pranav Adani emphasizes India's need for large-scale transformation to become a developed nation by 2047, aligning with PM Modi's vision.

"The scale of transformation is required for India to realise the full potential and become 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047 as envisioned by PM Modi. – Pranav Adani"

New Delhi, June 19

Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises, on Thursday said that the "scale of transformation" is required for India to realise its full potential and become 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047.

Speaking at the first foundation day of Chintan Research Foundation in New Delhi, Adani Enterprises Director said, "The scale of transformation is required for India to realise the full potential and become 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047 as envisioned by PM Modi."

Speaking on the activities of the Chintan Research Foundation (CRF), he said that the CRF focuses on crucial issues like climate change, equitable energy transition, the evolving global economy, crucial supply chains and dynamic trade relations, and geopolitics that shape the world's future.

"For three decades now, the Adani Group has been driving growth and accelerating innovation by entering the toughest and most critical infrastructure sectors of our nation. We see the Chintan Research Foundation working on the same lines, entering critical areas of research, deliberation, recommendation and impact while upholding independence and editorial integrity," Adani added. Separately, speaking to ANI on the economic growth of India, Pranav Adani said, "I think India is right now in a very great situation. I think these 1.4 billion people that we have are our real asset, like we heard in one of the speakers, he said that 50 per cent of the economy is really engaged in the growth of the GDP, and the other 50 per cent is passive. Now that has to really come into focus, and I think that's when the real Indian growth story will happen, and I'm very optimistic. We as a group are very optimistic."

Emphasising inclusiveness, Adani Enterprises' Director stated that CRF's work and research should be diversified beyond national capital so that other regions get the benefit of the remote areas.

"Let us move beyond Delhi. India is not just one city or one region. It is a chorus of diverse voices across geographies. The time has come to be inclusive by reaching out to Ranchi, Raipur, Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, the northeast, the coastal areas, and the heartlands. Our work must extend to wherever our people are... The Chintan Research Foundation must deepen its presence across regions, conducting ground-level research, engaging with local policymakers and arranging events nationwide. This will help regional priorities to surface, and then our job is to bring them to the nation's attention," Adani said.

He further added that the foundation "must offer policy narratives" to other developing countries.

"At the same time, our ambition must also cross borders and oceans. As the Global South rises, we must offer policy narratives to other developing countries based on our growth experience," he added. Speaking to the media after the event, Adani also spoke about the safety and security of the projects of the Adani group, given the tensions in the Middle East, adding, "all our assets abroad are safe."

"There are concerns, but luckily, all our assets abroad are safe. We shouldn't worry about it," he added.

Adani makes valid points about regional inclusion. For 'Viksit Bharat', we must focus on tier-2/3 cities and rural areas. But I hope this isn't just corporate speak - actual implementation is what matters. The Northeast especially needs more attention in national development plans.

Exciting vision! 🇮🇳 But transformation must be sustainable - climate change research is crucial. Happy to see private sector thinking long-term. However, wish they'd mentioned education/skill development more prominently. That's the real foundation for 2047 goals.

Good to see focus on Global South leadership. India's development model could inspire many nations. But we must ensure our own house is in order first - infrastructure gaps, healthcare access etc. need equal attention along with global ambitions.

The 1.4 billion people comment resonates! Our demographic dividend is both opportunity and challenge. Hope CRF researches how to create quality jobs at scale. Mere GDP growth numbers won't make India developed - it's about per capita income and living standards.

While the vision is commendable, I'm skeptical about corporate-led development narratives. Public-private partnership is good, but policy must prioritize common citizens over business interests. Hope this foundation maintains true independence as claimed.

Inclusion of coastal areas in research is much needed! As someone from Odisha, I've seen how climate change affects fishing communities. Hope CRF works with local universities and doesn't just impose Delhi-centric solutions. Jai Hind! 🙏
