# Times Internet chair praises Modi for decade of stability 2026-08-24T02:58:59+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Satyan Gajwani, chairman of Times Internet, told the ET World Leaders Forum that India has benefited from over a decade of political stability under Prime Minister Narendra Modi as global crises reshape the world economy. Comparing the current era to Homer's Odyssey, Gajwani said nations face simultaneous disruptions from wars, energy shocks, shipping route blockades, trade battles, nuclear threats and an AI capital surge. Gajwani said India's stable leadership had given the nation unity, security and confidence to face challenges. He cited India's position as the fastest-growing large economy for much of the past decade, the expansion of digital public infrastructure, improvements in ease of doing business and manufacturing push. He also pointed to Indian startups working in space technology, rocket engines, cancer drug research and nuclear fusion. Gajwani credited Modi with navigating challenges including energy security during global turmoil and protecting more than a billion people during Covid-19. He concluded that with Modi's leadership and collective effort, no challenge is insurmountable. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Satyan Gajwani's speech mirrors a pattern where business leaders publicly endorse the ruling party's continuity thesis ahead of general elections. The World Leaders Forum itself is a platform convened by the Times Group, which owns the Economic Times, giving Gajwani's praise unusual corporate salience. India's growth story under Modi has certainly produced macro-level gains like a formal GDP growth averaging 7% over the last decade, but critics point to stagnant private investment and jobless growth. The real test of this confidence narrative will come when the government releases April, June GDP data in August, which will show whether post-election policy momentum has translated into actual economic activity. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com Leads with Gajwani's praise for political stability and economic growth, omits any critical perspective or dissenting voice This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
