NEW DELHI, 16 December 2022: Mr N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons Private Limited today said that we not only need smart cities but cities that are built for the future.
Addressing the 'FICCI's 95th Annual Convention & AGM', Mr Chandrasekaran stated that ensuring interoperable digital health records will be the key, as will reimagining the health workforce to make more efficient use of the limited resources. "The scope and scale of economic reform has been fast-paced and this will drive productivity improvements and continued growth in capital accumulation," he added.
Reform he said, will be a key pillar that will propel fundamentals of India's performance in the coming decades, which have a major growth opportunity for the country. While the country can look forward to becoming a $25-30 trillion economy in its 100th year of Independence, it is also crucial to spread the gains of the future to everyone, including informal workers, agricultural labourers, and women, said Mr Chandrasekaran.

strength-to-strength. Acknowledging, Mr Chandrasekaran's address Mr
