India at 75 has evolved as a significant global actor with commensurate expectations from the world regarding its choices, actions, and its dynamic evolution. From responding to climate change and humanitarian crises, to global peace and security, to technology and digital frontiers, India’s actions will shape the 21st century world. This panel seeks to engage with the roads India has travelled, and the pathways that lie ahead. What will shape India’s decisions for the future? What is driving global expectations from a resolute India that is increasingly focused on creating favourable outcomes for its people and the world? How will India’s transformation contribute to global well-being?
