Mumbai: Leading management Guru Prof. C. K. Prahlad, visited the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) recently to lay out his vision for India@75.
The event was organized by NMIMS in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Yi.
Prof. Prahlad, while addressing faculty members and students of NMIMS and other distinguished academicians, corporate executives and members of CII and Yi, emphasized on acquiring Economic Strength, Technological Vitality and Moral Leadership of the country.
He said that, "India has a potential to lead the world in 2022 with its predicted largest pool of manpower consisting of 200 million college graduates and 500 million trained and skilled workforce.

This is possible in next fifteen years provided leaders focus on this goal as a priority."
He emphasized that this position is possible only when India works on all three fronts- economic growth, technology development & moral leadership.
He said that, "As a country, India must have high and shared aspirations like it had in 1929 when the leaders of the then Congress party declared their ambition as Poorna Swaraj. Since then, India has never had a national aspiration which every Indian could share."
Prof. Prahlad, while speaking about his vision, also shared the key drivers of the developmental context for India to achieve the above goal in next 15 years.
"They relate not to abject poverty but income inequality, changing life styles, urbanization and emergence of universal aspirations, a dramatic change in price-performance relationships, economic development and ecological crisis and finally the role
