Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla proclaimed India the most attractive global destination for entrepreneurs, emphasising the nation’s complete ecosystem for business success during a keynote address on Monday. Delivering his remarks at the ‘India@100: An Age of A New Dawn’ event—marking the launch of the Bharat Chamber of Commerce’s 125th anniversary celebrations—Birla stated that entrepreneurs worldwide are actively investing in India due to its unmatched combination of resources, infrastructure, and policy support. He described the country as having “every requirement for doing business”, from a vast talent pool to cutting-edge digital frameworks.

Birla credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and the government’s ‘minimum government, maximum governance’ approach for dismantling bureaucratic obstacles and slashing red tapism, which he said has catalysed unprecedented industrial expansion. He highlighted transparent governance and a vibrant democratic system as foundational pillars drawing global capital. “Under PM Modi’s vision, India has emerged as a global investment hub,” he declared, noting that policy stability and ease-of-doing-business reforms have elevated India’s ranking in international indices.

The Speaker also celebrated India’s cultural diversity and democratic resilience, asserting that the nation’s democracy—deeply rooted in public participation—has remained unbroken since independence. He linked this political continuity to economic momentum, pointing out that India recently marked the 75th anniversary of Azadi amid sweeping socioeconomic changes. Birla projected even more transformative growth in the lead-up to India’s centenary of independence in 2047, envisioning the country as a beacon of innovation, research, and sustainable development.

Positioning India as a global leader in startups and technology, Birla noted its status as the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, with over 100 unicorns and sustained foreign direct investment inflows surpassing $80 billion annually. He praised the role of institutions like the Bharat Chamber of Commerce in fostering eastern India’s industrial legacy while aligning with national goals of self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat) and inclusive progress.

Birla’s address served as both a tribute to India’s business heritage and a clarion call for accelerated growth toward a $5 trillion economy and beyond. By blending constitutional optimism with economic realism, he reinforced investor confidence and underscored that India’s democratic strength and entrepreneurial ecosystem will drive its ascent to global preeminence by 2047. The Kolkata event thus became a symbolic milestone in the nation’s journey toward a new era of prosperity and innovation.
