It’s commendable that beyond the usual politics of caste and religion, we are focusing deeply on development. However, achieving this rapid pace of growth won’t be easy.

Therefore, we need to generate an additional $14 trillion in GDP growth by innovating and creating novel products, intellectual property, and businesses. Even more challenging is the…
