Around 1700 India was the worlds leading economy with about 12cr. Population, this was the time when Aurangzeb ruled the country from Delhi. At that time in Europe, the first industrial revolution started with the invention of the steam engine, and then you have the electricity which propels the second industrial revolution. We were the leading economy, 25% of the economy was India, and then suddenly you have this all European companies coming and wading all Asian leading economies like India and China. In just 250yrs India became a very poor country.
Today we are 18% of the global economy but we contributing just 3% of GDP. We are just a consumer of global products and services. How do we make a Lanka par Challang? How to take a giant leap? To do that we need 3 things in life. Why do we need to do that? Why because we need to take a lead in the 4th industrial revolution. We want to live a better life for our children. To reclaim the position again.
How to make India the world's most leading economy?
To make India the world's most leading economy we need to understand a few things. Are we leaders or followers? Well, we are followers of those European big Brands. We don't use Indian products and services.
How can we become leaders?
In 1893, Gandhi Ji talked about Swadeshi at that time but it is more relevant today. The point is how we can lead today. Do we want to be leaders or followers? What is the solution?
The solution is, It can happen only when we generate wealth and consume it locally. Hope to lead the global economy again. It can only be done by dreaming and doing big.
What is PQ?
PQ is pride. Pride for what they are doing, Pride in favoring Indian products on merit, pride in pushing products globally, Pride in being Indian.
The next industrial revolution is going to be led by highly skilled professionals working on automation, artificial intelligence, robots. How we are going to be prepared for tomorrow. And if we don't do this, the productivity of employees will severely be impeded. For that, we need 3 'C' in our life. This is, you can create in company clarity of responsibility, Competence improvement, and Culture enhancement.
Conclusion:
Start dreaming big, Use Swadeshi products and services. Your small step will help India to reclaim its position again. And then India will become the world's most leading economy.
