Times Group MD Vineet Jain declared "India does not ask whether it can rise. India declares to the world that it is rising" at ET NOW Global Business Summit 2026, addressing PM Modi. Jain highlighted India's decade of transformation: five major trade agreements in one year (US, EU, UK, New Zealand, Oman), 50,000km new highways, world's third-largest metro network, and 100 billion annual digital transactions. India achieved 50% non-fossil fuel capacity five years early, hosts 1,700 Global Capability Centers, and ranks third globally in startups with 100+ unicorns. He emphasized Atmanirbhar Bharat evolved from economic policy to vital strategy countering weaponization of global trade, calling this "India's moment."
