NITI Aayog Vice-Chair Shri Suman Bery expands on the country’s outlook and aspirations.
India’s presidency of the G20 will be an opportunity not only to represent the interests of the global south at the ‘top table’ but also to explore how economic development can continue to be achieved within the constraints of decarbonisation and the net zero target, according to the economist and academic Shri Suman Bery, Vice-Chair of NITI Aayog, the public-policy think-tank of the Government of India.
Bery was speaking at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, on 10 February 2023. In a conversation with Dean Soumitra Dutta and Visiting Fellow Lord Bilimoria, he discussed India’s target of becoming a developed country by 2047 (100 years after independence) and expanded on the country’s distinctive strengths in an increasingly complex global economy.
