Economic transformation in India is no longer restricted to large metros but is steadily unfolding in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. Startups and MSMEs are the new growth drivers. This notable shift represents a broader vision for Indian business growth – one that moves beyond imitation and establishes a framework of innovation rooted in Indic wisdom.
This is the spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat: advancing not as a copy, but as an original. When combined with Make in India and Digital India initiatives, a fertile ecosystem is created to foster the growth of enterprises that are uniquely Indian. In a world obsessed with aping the West, these concepts help explore the potential of businesses in Bharat.
The philosophy of Bharat-led development emphasizes economic transformation in India that is both global in reach and authentically local in character. Indigenous business models in India highlight the importance of collaboration, ethical responsibility, and sustainability. By drawing from shastra to strategy, enterprises can move with clarity, discipline, and cultural authenticity.
The future belongs to enablers who can shape a corporate culture rooted in Indic wisdom. Drawing from discipline, community-driven models, and dharma-driven leadership is needed. This approach not only strengthens the foundations of India's economy but positions Bharat as a leader in shaping non-western corporate innovation. After all, Japan didn't become a Japanese version of the US, it advanced as Japan. Similarly, we too must advance as Bharat.
