G20 Summit LIVE updates: India and its role in ensuring global south is not affected by the global fragmentation
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - these two words are not just a catchline for Bharat's G20 Presidency but reflect aspirations of a nation strongly coming out of the colonial age in ways not many would have imagined even a few decades back. According to Himanshu Sikka, Lead - Health, IPE Global, it is not just the hope of the 1.4+ billion Indians but reflects the collective desire of the global south, much of which is still grappling with its past and sees India as the 'North Star.'"All this is not happening overnight but results from efforts brewing for a long time. All the stars are lining up nicely: BRICS, G20 Presidency, Chandrayan 3, and Aditya L1!!" Sikka said.

G20 Summit LIVE updates: How India G20 Summit will be the path to global leadership
G20 represents a significant portion of the global economy, accounting for around 85% of global GDP and two-thirds of the world's population. India, as one of the world's largest economies, benefits from being part of this influential group. According to Ashwajit Singh - Managing Director, IPE Global (international development consulting firm) - G20 provides the country an opportunity to share its success stories with the world and learn from the experiences of the rest on a wide range of economic, financial, and developmental issues.
"It allows India to assert its interests, seek support for its development goals, and participate in global governance and policy discussions that impact its economy and society. Taking up the Presidency amidst widespread polarisation and geopolitical rigidities, G20 is an opportunity for the world’s fifth largest economy to steer the conversation towards human-centric development that aligns with the priorities of the global south while also addressing its six priority areas (Green Development, Climate Finance, LiFE, Accelerated, Inclusive & Resilient Growth, Accelerating progress on SDGs). Hosting the G20 Summit is a milestone moment which can potentially change the way the world sees India which stands firm on advancing peace, stability to build a shared future together," Singh said.

India's G20 presidency will improve India's involvement in the global economy and increase its impact on global economic, environmental, and social policies. India will be able to influence global policies in ways that will benefit our economy and attract investors. Additionally India would reap significant benefits, including increased foreign direct investment (FDI) across sectors. Electric vehicles are likely to grow fast in the future, with favorable regulations and incentives on the horizon to propel the sector forward. Auto sectors as well as start-ups working on green technologies, are set to gain from this program. Finally, India is likely to capitalize on new trade opportunities as its renewable energy, defense, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries expand," Kochar said.
