India will grow to be among top 3 economies in 2 decades: Mukesh Ambani

Reliance Industries’ Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Tuesday said that India will grow to be among the top three economies in the world in the next two decades and per capita income would more than double.

At a fireside chat with Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg, he said India’s middle-class, which is about 50 per cent of the nation’s total number of households, will grow 3 to 4 per cent per year.

Speaking on the importance of technology, especially amid the pandemic, Ambani said that Reliance is working closely with authorities to provide technology tools and backbone for vaccination.

“The sheer magnitude of the Covid-19 pandemic, like everybody else in the world, did startle all of us in India… Every crisis presents an opportunity for new growth, and India has faced the Covid crisis with enormous resilience and resolve,” he said.
