India's Presence Registered Effectively

Highlighting the learning opportunities at the forum, the Maharashtra Chief Minister said, "India's presence in Davos is being registered very effectively. The participation of ten different states reflects the spirit of cooperative and competitive federalism that Prime Minister Modi has instilled in us.

If you want to remain relevant in this connected economy, you have to come to Davos. It's a place where businesses meet and where you learn about innovation, technology, and business processes. You learn many new things here. We also learn about how the world is changing, and importantly, one of the outcomes is that when businesses connect, there are benefits for us. Some investments also come in. As far as Maharashtra is concerned, this time we have focused on large-scale strategic collaborations.
