#First Opinion
“India is on the verge of becoming the third-largest economy, but that will only happen if we all play our part. Every year, 20 million young people enter the job market, but only 5 million find employment. It’s our responsibility to change that. Hospitality, for example, is a key driver of our economy, and this year, we’ve seen 13% growth in workforce absorption—this is good news, but we must keep pushing forward. The first step towards ‘Incredible India’ is unity. It’s time for us to take responsibility—government, industry, and each of us individually. If we want India to become an inevitable global leader, we must stop just talking about it and start acting.”
