In a recent episode of ‘Let’s Talk Bharat,’ host Anupam Kher engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Ashish Kumar Chauhan, a prominent figure in India’s financial and academic sectors.
As the head of the National Stock Exchange and chancellor of the University of Allahabad, Chauhan shared his insights on Bharat’s (India’s) promising growth prospects over the next four decades. He expressed optimism that India has the potential to become a global leader, driven by its large and vibrant young population. Chauhan noted that India’s demographic advantage stands in stark contrast to the aging populations witnessed in Europe and the United States.
Chauhan emphasized the importance of inclusive growth, ensuring that the nation’s progress benefits all segments of society. He highlighted the transformative impact of technological advancements, particularly the mobile phone revolution, which has empowered rural communities and improved their daily lives.
Chauhan believes that for the first time in his lifetime, India has gained control over its circumstances rather than being constrained by them. He is confident that the nation has the necessary ingredients to shape its destiny and emerge as a global economic powerhouse.
