 "News18 Rising Bharat Summit 2025: The Bharat Phenomenon. A New Era Begins")
As the nation surges toward becoming a $30 trillion economy by 2047, Bharat is paving an exemplary path. With a booming economy, cutting-edge innovation, and a bold new approach to governance, this nation of 1.4 billion is not waiting for opportunities; it is creating them.
In the midst of all this, the News18 Rising Bharat Summit 2025 arrives at a moment when every decision, every policy, and every breakthrough is defining Bharat’s destiny. The question isn’t whether Bharat will lead—it’s more about how far ahead it will be.
At the heart of this massive transformation is Bharat’s relentless pursuit for progress. Infrastructure is expanding at an unprecedented pace—expressways are turning into smart corridors, and rail networks are becoming high-speed lifelines, with India building over 37 km of highways per day, the fastest in the world.
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project is set to revolutionise high-speed rail travel, while India’s metro network has expanded to over 900 km, making it the fifth largest globally. Simultaneously, digital innovation is setting new global benchmarks, with AI, semiconductors, and fintech reshaping industries. India is a global leader in digital payments, with UPI processing over 14 billion transactions monthly.
However, no growth story is without its challenges. Infrastructure expansion must navigate environmental concerns, urban congestion, and sustainable resource management. The digital revolution faces obstacles like cybersecurity threats, data privacy issues, and the need to bridge the urban-rural digital divide. Meanwhile, shifting geopolitical landscapes present new complexities in supply chains, trade negotiations, and strategic alliances. The road ahead requires not just ambition but resilience and adaptability.
