PM Modi’s economic vision lifts spirits of entrepreneurs like Jignesh Shah

After taking office in 2014, Indian Prime Minster Narendra Modi, standing below an immense logo of a lion, unveiled an economic vision for India to be a global manufacturing power. Investors should rush to “make in India,” he said. He claimed that his strong leadership would usher in economic revival by increasing the share of manufacturing in the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) to 25% by 2025 and creating 100 million new jobs by 2022. He vowed India would train apprentices by the hundreds of millions to service that manufacturing boom, reduce bureaucracy and improve infrastructure, paving the way for foreign investors.

This initiative has been one of the most significant, structured and outcome-oriented policy initiatives by any Indian government in recent years. It was, unlike many similar initiatives in the past, well structured, properly thought through, had an identified set of priorities and focussed on the key issue dogging all inbound foreign direct investments in India — the ease (or rather, the lack of) doing business in India.

These developments have lifted the spirits of seasoned entrepreneurs and innovators like fintech czar Jignesh Shah who dreamt and worked on the Make in India model in the mid-1990s. Jignesh Shah’s entrepreneurial journey has excited and inspired millions of young entrepreneurs of India provoking them to work for India's growth through start up models. Start-up Industry has a lot of potential, but it will be able to see long term success, if the first-generation entrepreneurs like, Jignesh Shah is able to provide the desired impetus and momentum to this industry with his strong leadership skills.

His intellect and expertise in IT sector along with his deep passion for providing jobs to millions of Indians there by helping the Govt led into founding Financial Technologies (now known as 63 moons technologies) and a string of many world-class exchanges across India and abroad.
