He argued that India too must shape a virtuous consequence for itself rather than merely react to external developments.
Mahindra in his post laid out two key policy imperatives. First, he emphasised the urgent need to radically improve India’s ease of doing business. He proposed creating a truly functional single-window clearance system for investments. Speed, simplicity, and predictability in approvals, he argued, would make India a magnet for global capital in search of stable alternatives.
Second, Mahindra urged India to unlock the untapped potential of tourism as a foreign exchange and employment generator. He called for accelerated visa processing, high-quality tourist facilitation, and the development of secure, sanitary tourism corridors around existing hotspots to international standards.
Beyond these, he proposed a broader action agenda: enhanced liquidity and support for MSMEs, faster infrastructure development, a deeper manufacturing push through expanded PLI schemes, and rationalised import duties on manufacturing inputs to improve competitiveness.
