Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises, stressed on Thursday that a significant scale of transformation is essential for India to achieve its full potential and become a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047. Speaking at the inaugural Foundation Day of the Chintan Research Foundation (CRF) in New Delhi, he stated, “To realise the vision of 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047, as outlined by Prime Minister Modi, India must undergo a profound transformation.”

Highlighting the role of CRF, Adani noted that the foundation is dedicated to addressing key global and national challenges, including climate change, a just energy transition, the shifting global economy, critical supply chains, evolving trade dynamics, and geopolitics that will shape the future. "For three decades now, the Adani Group has been driving growth and accelerating innovation by entering the toughest and most critical infrastructure sectors of our nation. We see the Chintan Research Foundation working on the same lines, entering critical areas of research, deliberation, recommendation and impact while upholding independence and editorial integrity," Adani said.

Speaking on the economic growth of India, Pranav Adani told ANI, "I think India is right now in a very great situation. I think these 1.4 billion people that we have are our real asset, like we heard in one of the speakers, he said that 50 per cent of the economy is really engaged in the growth of the GDP, and the other 50 per cent is passive. Now that has to really come into focus, and I think that's when the real Indian growth story will happen, and I'm very optimistic. We as a group are very optimistic," Pravav Adani told ANI.

Expansion Of Research Centres

Stressing the importance of inclusiveness, the Director of Adani Enterprises emphasized that CRF’s work and research should extend beyond the national capital to ensure that remote and underserved regions also benefit.

"Let us move beyond Delhi. India is not just one city or one region. It is a chorus of diverse voices across geographies. The time has come to be inclusive by reaching out to Ranchi, Raipur, Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, the northeast, the coastal areas, and the heartlands. Our work must extend to wherever our people are... The Chintan Research Foundation must deepen its presence across regions, conducting ground-level research, engaging with local policymakers and arranging events nationwide. This will help regional priorities to surface, and then our job is to bring them to the nation's attention," Adani opined.
