Times Internet chair praises Modi for decade of stability

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.
