India's model of inclusive growth and digital revolution will be highlighted at the World Economic Forum 2025 in Switzerland's Davos.

Ahead of his departure to the WEF event, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw emphasised the global interest in India’s transformative digital journey under the leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“The world is keen to understand India’s economic policies, the digital transformation brought about by the Digital India programme, and the way technology has been democratised to empower citizens across all strata of society,” the minister stated.

India’s innovative digital architecture, developed as part of the Digital India initiative, has set a global benchmark for leveraging technology to drive inclusive development, a key focus of discussions at the forum.

India’s participation in WEF 2025 aims to strengthen partnerships, attract investment, and position the country as a global leader in sustainable development and technological innovation.

Vaishnaw also noted India’s significant strides in ensuring development for all sections of society, particularly those historically left out of progress.

“The Prime Minister of India has focused on inclusive development that brings transformative changes in the lives of those at the bottom of the pyramid. From financial inclusion through bank accounts to providing essential services like toilets, gas connections, tap water, and improving infrastructure in both rural and urban areas, this is something which the world wants to understand," he stated.
