As India completes its 75th year of independence, it is important to set a higher standard in terms of aspirations and initiative. The 25 years leading up to India@100 are an opportunity to create the India of one’s dreams.
To find out what such an India could be, the Foundation has started a series of Fireside Chats called I Have a Dream, with people synonymous with excellence in their field. These conversations reflect on the personal journey of the speakers and their wish list for India@100. They also provide important insights into what could be the way forward in areas key to the country’s development.
