Mr. Mohan Ramachandran

We were thrilled to welcome Mr. Mohan Ramachandran on 17th December 2024, Director – Engine Business, Cummins Technologies India, who shared valuable perspectives on India’s journey towards a $5 trillion economy. Here are the key takeaways:

1) Economic Growth Drivers: Digital transformation, fintech (like UPI), infrastructure development, and innovation are paving the way.
2) Infrastructure & Logistics: Investments in highways, DFCs, and data centres are critical, but improving logistics efficiency is key to unlocking potential.
3) Skill Development: Shifting from marks-driven education to practical skills is essential. EdTech is bridging this gap.
4) Family Business vs. Startups: Family businesses prioritise sustainability, while startups chase valuations.
5) Agriculture: Boosting farmer margins through better logistics can revolutionise exports.
6) Empowering Women: Education and workforce inclusion are improving gender ratios in industries.
7) The Future: Challenges are opportunities. Growth lies in underserved areas and tackling inefficiencies.

Thank you, Mr. Ramachandran, for an inspiring session!
