AS WE CELEBRATE India’s 78th Independence Day, we find ourselves
at a pivotal juncture in our nation’s economic journey. India’s dream
of becoming a $10 trillion economy is not just an ambitious goal but a
significant milestone on the global stage. Achieving this vision requires
more than just robust policies; it demands stability, discipline and the
unwavering commitment of those who safeguard our financial systems –

essential to ensuring that India’s growth is sustainable and resilient
