As the “Amrit Kaal” – the period between now and 2047 when India will celebrate 100 years of independence – unfolds, the country will experience an unprecedented burst of economic growth and opportunity. , he said.
“Three revolutionary revolutions will govern India’s growth in the coming decades,” he said. “The Clean Energy Revolution, the Bioenergy Revolution, and the Digital Revolution.” Ambani’s oil-telecommunications conglomerate, Reliance Industries Ltd, has a finger in each pie as it invests billions of dollars in building a clean energy value chain, from solar panels to hydrogen. Son Jio has disrupted the telecommunications sector, offering free voice calls and cheap data which has acted as a catalyst in the digital revolution in the country.
“While the clean energy revolution and the bioenergy revolution will produce energy in a sustainable way, the digital revolution will allow us to consume energy efficiently,” Ambani said. “The three revolutions together will help India and the world save our beautiful planet from the climate crisis.”
