Prime Minister Narendra Modi is at the center of everything.India has assumed the spotlight. How, too. India, through its G20 chairmanship this year, has emerged as the driving force in a wide range of fields, holding significant influence in determining the course of the world’s future as the world’s top leaders prepare to gather in Delhi for the G20 Heads of State and Government Summit in September.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, under whose leadership the G20 presidency carries an undeniably Indian stamp, is at the center of everything. Take a look at the variety of sectors where India is having a significant impact. The nation is actively participating in the multilateral development banks’ much-needed reform, which aims to make them better suited to solving current and future global concerns. The India Stack, India’s digital public infrastructure, is the talk of the world, promoting financial inclusion and innovation while demonstrating to the rest of the world what technology is capable of. The Startup20 project is reviving the world’s startup ecosystem.
And one of the most crucial actions—something the Prime Minister personally thinks would significantly alter the situation—is the one taken by India to advocate for the African Union’s permanent seat in the G20. We are pleased to share with you the G20 Special Issue of Business Today, which explores many of these topics in great detail. The cherry on top was our private, over 40-minute discussion with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is currently the man of the moment.
As a means of bridging the gap between wealthy and poor countries, Modi and India’s G20 have also become recognized as the voice of the Global South. “We have made progress,” claims Modi, “by putting the G20 agenda with the priorities of the Global South.” This G20 presidency has proven to be the ideal launching pad into the future as India advances toward 2047.
