00:00See, as I mentioned in my speech, foundations have, particularly research foundations, have a lot of responsibility,
00:10particularly when you're doing research and particularly when you're doing evidence-based research.
00:16See, the Chintan Research Foundation is going to focus on two or three very important pillars.
00:22One is on climate change, like I mentioned.
00:25Second is on geopolitical issues and do a lot of research on that.
00:29And third is economy and trade.
00:31These are the three things that we are going to initially focus on and then take up other research-based verticals.
00:39Sir, in your speech you mentioned that we have to move out of Delhi and focus on different areas.
00:43What do you have to say?
00:44See, the reason why I said that is because with the vision of our Honorable Prime Minister by the year 2047,
00:52when we have to move out of Delhi and the capital cities, but India really lives in the heartland,
01:02which is why I said in my speech that whether it is Raipur, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar or the Northeast,
01:08what really matters is this is where the real India lives and this is where we want them to come in into our focus,
01:14into our central economy.
01:15So, with that in mind, I think that is where the real India lives.
01:18How is India's growth story looking for you right now?
01:21We have a plan for the 24-7 survey.
01:24See, I think India is right now in a very great situation.
01:28I think this 1.4 billion people that we have is our real asset.
01:32Like we heard in one of the speakers, he said that 50% of the economy is really engaged in the growth of the GDP
01:39and the other 50% is passive.
01:42Now, that has to really come into the focus and I think that's when the real Indian growth story will happen
01:49and I'm very optimistic.
01:50We as a group are very optimistic.
