Unstoppable or Untenable? Unfolding India's Growth Outlook | Global Conference 2025
Maneet Ahuja, Anjula Acharia, Alok Agarwal, John Chambers, Vinod Giri, Atul Keshap
Driven by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of inclusive growth and the "Three Cs" framework, India targets becoming the world's third-largest economy by 2025 and the number one economy by 2047 through strategic expansions in manufacturing, semiconductors, and digital infrastructure. This transformative trajectory is bolstered by a $450 billion startup ecosystem, a surge in electronic exports under "Make in India" schemes, and a deepening U.S.-India partnership that prioritizes critical technology collaboration and a potential free trade agreement. While facing execution challenges across its 28 states and environmental risks, the nation's leadership anticipates scaling per capita income to $10,000 to sustain its ascent as a dominant global hub for AI, luxury branding, and innovation.

Andy Serwer, John Chambers, Denise Morrison, Tim Sloan, Mark Weinberger, Devin Wenig
Leaders from Cisco, eBay, Wells Fargo, Campbell's, and EY convened to establish that aligning workforce strategy with core social values is essential for navigating rapid technological shifts and a changing demographic landscape. These executives detailed specific outcomes, such as Wells Fargo's lowest turnover in thirty years following its listening campaign and compensation adjustments, and EY's record female retention rates driven by inclusive policies and a "better working world" mission. The panel further emphasized that addressing the critical skills gap through education reform, flexible work cultures, and continuous reskilling is necessary to sustain engagement and profitability in an era where traditional company lifecycles are shrinking.
