India is rapidly marching towards its 100th year of independence in 2047

The government has set ambitious goals to make India a developed nation by then. Achieving these #Vision2047 goals requires dedicated efforts from all sections of society. Inspiring personalities like Ronnie Screwvala and HariChandana are leading the way with their transformative work. #HariChandana

Ronnie Screwvala is a first-generation entrepreneur and founder of the UTV Group.

After exiting UTV, he founded Unilazer Ventures and UpGrad – initiatives focused on supporting entrepreneurs and revolutionizing online higher education in India. Screwvala believes that fostering entrepreneurship is key to economic growth and job creation, which are integral to the #Vision2047 goals.

Similarly, HariChandana with her organization, has been tirelessly working at the grassroots in rural India.

HariChandana has trained women in vocational skills, helped them form self-help groups, and linked them to government schemes like #MudraLoans.

Such visionary leaders are vital for translating the ambitions of #Vision2047 into tangible outcomes. The government has laid the foundations through initiatives like #SkillIndia, #DigitalIndia, #MakeInIndia and #StartUpIndia. However, dynamic entrepreneurs like Screwvala and social workers like HariChandana can significantly complement these efforts through on-ground execution. They leverage grassroots networks and insights to create hyperlocal solutions, which is often the need of the hour.

HariChandana’s selfless commitment to empowering rural women through entrepreneurship makes her a shining example of #SheInspiresUs.

As India celebrates 75 years of independence, there is new energy and optimism around its future. With conscientious citizens like Screwvala and HariChandana leading the way, the vision of a prosperous, inclusive and developed India before the 100th Independence Day does not seem unachievable. Their work propagating entrepreneurship and women empowerment aligns well with the #Vision2047 goals. It is time for each of us to draw inspiration from them and act towards furthering India’s transformation.
