Uday Kotak stresses institutionalised approach for Indian businesses aimed at global scale

"You just need to look at what happened yesterday in the US, in one day. The movement in NVIDIA, stock price movement in NVIDIA, is larger than the largest group or the largest company's total market cap in India — that's the scale," Kotak said.

"If I've got to think about one country which does it better than anybody else, it's the United States," he affirmed, stressing the importance of free markets and strong institutions.

Sajjan Jindal, Chairperson of JSW Group, said he firmly believes in the prospect of Indian corporations becoming global leaders, stating, "Indian companies must become multinationals." He set a high bar for the nation's steel industry, positing, "I am in steel, can I be one of the leading steel companies in the world?"

"We just have to think that we want to be a global leader because we have to 'Think Big' — we have a very big market, one of the largest markets growing market. So we have to think big and think globally. And we have to think like we have to be number one in the world,"  Jindal added.

Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairperson and Managing Director of Bajaj Finserv, added a unique angle to this narrative, advocating for ethical business practices as the cornerstone of sustained global success. "Run your business ethically," he advises, "So you can go to sleep peacefully."
