Demonstrating faith in collaborative progress, Thakur reiterated the mantra of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas" (Together, for everyone's growth, with everyone's trust), emphasizing teamwork as instrumental in India's transformation.
Looking ahead, Thakur rallied support for Prime Minister Modi's vision, expressing confidence in securing a third term in office. He urged industry stakeholders to engage with the government, facilitating a constructive dialogue to shape future policies conducive to sustained growth.
