VFS Global CEO, Zubin Karkaria applauds India’s potential for investments and travel, mentions “I believe this is India’s decade.”
As one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, India is propelling forward with key sectors such as investment, tourism, agriculture, and beyond, marking the new India in making and paving the way for the accomplishment of the Viksit Bharat @2047 objectives.
Building on the same, VFS Global CEO, Zubin Karkaria, recently applauded India’s global positioning for investors and visitors, during his interview with PTI. According to him, this is India’s decade for investments and travel that stems from its vibrant and diverse economy, substantial young population, and rich cultural heritage.
Karkaria said that India is undergoing a rapid economic and social transformation, creating new opportunities for business, trade, tourism, and culture. “I truly believe this is India’s decade. In VFS global, we are very optimistic about the prospects of India as a global destination, as a source, both for inbound tourism and outbound travellers. India has a vibrant and diverse economy, a large young population, and a rich cultural heritage. These factors make India attractive, both for investors and visitors,” he told PTI.
He further added, “VFS Global is a truly Indian success story that has gone global. I mean truly global. I conceptualised and launched VFS Global in India, one of the first made-in-India unicorns to become a global leader in its field. We remain committed to supporting India’s growth story by providing seamless and tech-driven visa services to events, to secure cross-border mobility for people and trade. This is to and from India, thereby contributing to India’s economic growth,” he said in response during interaction with PTI.
In the US recently for meetings, Karkaria, said there is a lot of excitement and interest by global CEOs in India. “India has been a land of opportunities. It’s expected that India will be the fastest-growing major economy in the next three years. I concur with our Prime Minister’s vision and statement when he says that India will soon be the third-largest economy in the world,” he said. “
“The government has also introduced several reforms to improve the ease of doing business, and the ease of living which are very important. Two basic requirements. But it’s very important for people who want to invest and live in India. This is attracting more investors,” he asserted.
Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the ‘Chalo India’ campaign to promote tourism and motivate people to travel to India, the CEO of VFS Global said meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions are a major growth driver for the travel sector and economy in India. India today offers many options across the economic spectrum for travellers with the investments that India has made in its infrastructure and in terms of connectivity around the world. Super optimistic about India’s future, he said: “I am committed to Prime Minister Modi’s Viksit (developed) Bharat’s vision, which is the government’s action plan to transform the country into a developed nation by 2047.”
