Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday participated in the celebration of the completion of 20 years of Indian School of Business (ISB) Hyderabad and the joint graduation ceremony of the PGP class of 2022 of Mohali and Hyderabad ISB graduates. In his address, PM Modi appealed to the graduating business and management professionals of the institution to follow the mantra of “reform, perform and transform,” while making business policies in their careers. The Prime Minister noted that India at present is the fastest growing Economy in the group of G20 countries. “In the case of Smartphone Data Consumer, India is at number one. If we look at the number of Internet users, then India is second in the world. India is also second in the world in the Global Retail Index. The world’s third largest startup ecosystem is in India. The world’s third largest consumer market is in India. India is emerging as a major centre of growth today,” PM Modi said. “Last year, the highest ever recorded FDI came into India. Today the world is realising that India means business,” he added. Attacking the opposition, PM Modi said that the need for reform was always felt in the country, but there was always a lack of political willpower. “Due to the continuous political instability in the last three decades, the country has seen a lack of political willpower for a long time. Because of this the country stayed away from reforms and from taking big decisions.” Don’t Miss:  'Biggest faces of corruption': PM Modi lashes out at KCR for promoting political dynasty in Telangana He further said that since 2014, India has been witnessing political will and also, reforms are being done continuously. “Public support and popular support is assured when reforms are undertaken with determination and political will.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also stressed on the need to give more opportunities to small businesses for their growth and helping them in connecting with the new local and global markets.
