"Huge Opportunity For...": Former NITI Aayog CEO On 'The India Century'

Published On: October 27, 2024 | Duration: 1 MIN, 17 SEC

India's G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant spoke at the NDTV World Summit in Delhi where he mentioned that this will be "India's century".

Mr Kant highlighted how the world is mired in conflicts - both in Europe and in West Asia. While this is sad and unfortunate, he explained that it also presents India - a largely peace-loving and ambitious nation - with an opportunity to set up manufacturing hubs and encourage innovation.

"When you look around the world, there are 3 big challenges," he said, adding that conflict is the first.

"Europe was responsible for World War I, it was also responsible for World War II, and now we have had a war there for the last 3 years. 45,000 people have died in Europe," he said.

"Similarly, 350.000 people have died n the Middle East. The region is up in flames," he added, going on to say that because of these wars, "global value chains are disrupted."

As the Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi settles into his third term, India's global influence continues to expand, reshaping both geopolitical dynamics and economic landscapes. Amidst ongoing conflicts in Europe and West Asia, India has emerged as a responsible global power, adeptly navigating complex international relations and offering leadership.

In this transformative era, the world turns to India for guidance. It is within this context that NDTV proudly presents its flagship event, NDTV World Summit 2024 – The India Century, scheduled for October 21st and 22nd.

Continuing NDTV’s legacy of pioneering media, we will also launch NDTV World at the summit, with the tagline: "Seeing the World from Where India Stands." NDTV World aims to be a leading voice from Asia and India on the global stage.
