World now sees India as a hub of innovation: Times Group MD Vineet Jain

Times Group managing director Vineet Jain said India's economic ascent doesn't just mark a national milestone but shows that it's a global force. The country is shaping global economic conversations and is today defined by its performance.

"We stand at a critical inflection point in our history... the global economic order is undergoing rapid recalibration," Jain said at the summit. "The rules of the game are changing, and those who evolve, emerge, and expand will define the future."

The Times Group MD said the world is in transition-the US is making policy shifts, Europe undergoing difficult adjustments, and China is navigating economic recalibration. "Against this backdrop, India offers what few other major economies can-high growth, macroeconomic stability and a thriving investment climate," he said.


Jain congratulated PM Narendra Modi on his successful US trip, saying it would go a long way toward resetting relations across trade, investment and energy security. The launch of the US-India COMPACT will spur opportunities for military partnership and accelerate commercial and technology ties.

"Your mantra-of MAGA plus MIGA, which is Make India Great Again, is equal to a MEGA partnership between two economic powerhouses, and the world's biggest democracies-has resonated very well," Jain said.

PM's leadership has ensured India is not just an economy of scale, but also an economy of impact. "The world today looks at India not merely as a market, but as a creator of opportunity, a hub of innovation, and a key pillar of global economic stability that is shaping the future," he said.
