Global Business Summit 2025 : Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal took center stage on the second day of the ninth edition of the ET Now Global Business Summit 2025 on Sunday, February 16. In his keynote speech, he outlined India's ambitious vision for a better future for 140 crore citizens, emphasizing the country's remarkable progress, strategic partnerships, and expansion over the last decade.

During his address, Goyal highlighted five key pillars that are driving India's rise on the global stage.

India’s 5 Pillars of Development

According to Piyush Goyal, India's growth story is built on five essential pillars:

Global Leadership – Strengthening India's influence on international platforms and shaping global policies.
Economy & Investment – Driving economic expansion, attracting foreign investments, and boosting business growth.
Innovation & Entrepreneurship – Encouraging startups, fostering technological advancements, and supporting new business ideas.
Infrastructure & Consumption-led Growth – Expanding physical infrastructure and increasing domestic demand to sustain economic momentum.
Women-led Growth – Promoting women's participation in leadership roles, entrepreneurship, and workforce development.

These five pillars, Goyal emphasized, have positioned India on track to become the world's third-largest economy much sooner than expected—a vision that was once considered unrealistic just a decade ago.
