“As we bid farewell to 2023 and welcome a new year, the global economic stage remains unpredictable. While the world faces slowdown and uncertainties, the Indian economy stands resilient, steering toward a sustainable future with intensified decarbonisation efforts and a 500 GW renewables target by 2030. In the midst of geopolitical turmoil and financial market volatility, India emerges as a beacon of stability. As we navigate these uncertainties, we should also be mindful that every action must be calculated to ensure macroeconomic and financial stability in the face of potential fickle conditions. Despite the challenges, India offers compelling opportunities for foreign investment, especially in sustainability, environmental, and clean energy sectors. At the same time, women empowerment should also be emphasized. There is a need to increase the number of women in various services in India. Doing so will give huge financial benefits, it will take time; But it will be beneficial, it is certain. Standing on the threshold of 2024, I believe that India has all the ingredients we need to deliver on our promise and potential as the world’s 5^th largest economy.”
