Heartbroken by the loss of my dear friend and creative genius Piyush Pandey. He was the best storyteller one could ever meet. Piyush believed in and cultivated the power of branding with an indigenous twist, flavour, and creativity that put India on the global map. He had a golden & generous heart as reflected in these touching words about me. His spirit will continue to inspire us. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

“The Raisina Dialogue is a forum that is even better than the World Economic Forum in Davos,” says Prof Emeritus at Stern & renowned global economist Nouriel Roubini Roubini. It has greater representation, including from the Global South, not just the US & Europe. The conversations are much more open, transparent, & deal with issues of the present and the future. Congratulations Dr. S. Jaishankar Randhir Jaiswal ORF Samir Saran for creating such an inclusive and effective platform for dialogue.

From 80 GW in 2015, India has almost tripled its renewable capacity to 220 GW in 2025. Commendable work by GOI & all the states! To get to 500 GW by 2030, we need to: -Scale T&D infrastructure -Rapidly integrate short- and long-term energy storage -Ramp up installations of smart meters -Embed integrated resources planning at the heart of state energy transition plans 500 GW demands bold moves from every state government.

PM Narendra Modi has a phenomenal memory. On 16th Jan, 2016, when we launched Startup India only Startup founders were seated with PM on the dias. Suchi Mukherjee, founder of Limeroad had shared her mother's apprehensive reaction to her startup ambitions, encapsulated in the word "sarvanash," meaning disaster. This anecdote was recounted by the PM today at Startup Mahakumbh. From a modest beginning with around 150 startups in 2016, India has burgeoned into the world's third-largest startup ecosystem, boasting over 125,000 startups, including more than 115 unicorns with a combined valuation exceeding $350 billion. Steered by PM Narendra Modi's foresight & vision and fueled by the innovative spirit of India's youth, this growth marks a departure from skepticism to an era where entrepreneurship is celebrated and pursued by the nation's brightest minds. This journey from "sarvanash" to “safalta” (success) encapsulates the essence of India's startup revolution.

India's incredible pole vault in Digital Public Infrastructure: We achieved in 9 years what would have taken 50. Today, phones are banks, facilitating 46% of global real-time payments. We are far advanced in terms of digitisation. Watch the interview on The Neon Show:
