When I was in business school, the idea of India overtaking Japan in GDP felt like a distant, almost audacious dream. Today, that milestone is no longer theoretical — we’ve become the world’s fourth largest economy.

It’s no small achievement. Japan has long been an economic colossus, with legendary productivity and resilience. That we’ve caught up is a testament to the ambition and ingenuity of millions of Indians — across sectors, generations, and geographies.

But as we celebrate, we must stay dissatisfied.

Because India’s next leap must be in per capita GDP, not just overtaking Germany…

For us to keep Rising, India needs sustained economic reforms — in governance, infrastructure, manufacturing, education, and capital access.
