New Delhi,
The present government has started the disinvestment process but it is still very slow and needs to be accelerated for overall development of the country .
“Most of the countries including the United Kingdom (UK) have gone in process of disinvestment and helped these countries in economic development. The disinvestment process helps all . The judiciary in India should also understand and help in the disinvestment process. The disinvested companies should be run as a trust “ Said Anil Aggarwal, Founder and Chairman, Vedanta Resources while speaking at a webinar on ‘Vedanta of Business” organized by the FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) , the women business wing of the apex trade body FICCI.
“India is a land of entrepreneurship with the advantage of location, young talent , natural resources and sea on Three sides the country is moving towards a self-reliant economy . But the world always looked at India as a market and never wanted to see it grow. But presently the process of self-reliance has grown and youth and start ups with new ideas are taking the country to newer heights” said Mr Aggarwal.
“India has the largest deposit of oil gold , minerals, it is high time to explore them and especially the young and the women entrepreneur has to it. Worldwide an average of 44 per cent women are entrepreneurs and head various companies, In India it is still about 20 per cent. It is time for women to come up as they are convincing and deliver “ Mr Aggarwal.
‘philanthropy will be the cornerstone of entrepreneurship in the coming years ahead. Vedanata group has pledged 70 Percent of its wealth to philanthropic activities. The profit of business must help society where it matters the most and there is nothing more than securing the health and future of our women and children. Our experience of Nand ghars is showing the way in various parts of the country ” said Mr Aggarwal
“Vedanta group is too big to have family succession plan and no body from family is likely to succeed as no large company like Vedanta should have the family ownership” said Mr Aggarwal
