As India looks ahead to its 100th year of independence, Business Today multiverse is gearing up to host the BT India@100 Summit on August 8 in the national capital. Themed ‘India@2047: Blueprint for a Developed Nation’, this high-profile summit will bring together India’s most influential minds from governance, business, public policy and research, to chart the country’s path to becoming a global powerhouse.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari will headline the day-long summit today in New Delhi with a keynote on India’s long-term economic trajectory, setting the stage for deep, solution-oriented dialogues on India’s development roadmap.
A major highlight of the event will be the official unveiling of ‘100 Ideas for India@100’, a strategic reform blueprint developed by Business Today through months of rigorous research and expert consultations. Spread across 10 key sectors—from GST 2.0, land and labour reforms, to urban safety, digital infrastructure, and climate action—the document aims to offer actionable, future-facing solutions that address both structural inefficiencies and emerging opportunities.
Top contributors to the initiative include TeamLease’s Manish Sabharwal, economist Rajesh Shukla, and insights from institutions like ICRIER, ASER, CSIS, and former policymakers like Anil Swarup and Subhash Chandra Garg.
Joining Gadkari on the speaker roster are Dr. Arvind Panagariya, Chairman, 16th Finance Commission; Dr. Arunish Chawla, Secretary, DIPAM; NK Singh, Former Chairman, 15th Finance Commission and Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia, ex-Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission.
These luminaries will weigh in on themes like economic resilience, institutional reform, AI innovation, sustainable growth, global trade realignment and India’s urban future.
The BT India@100 Summit will serve not just as a thought leadership platform, but also as a call to action—emphasising the shared responsibility of policymakers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and citizens in building a resilient and inclusive India.
With less than 25 years to India’s centenary of independence, the BT India@100 Summit 2025 offers a rare opportunity to be part of a transformative dialogue.
