when the World Economic Forum attracts leaders from India from several states, several thought leaders as well several young leaders as well. One of those who is a young leader Over here, the World Economic Forum in Davos is Raghav Chandra of the Aam Aadmi party. Thanks very much for being with us. You are of course here not just as the young leader speaking, but also somebody who represents after Delhi, Punjab as well. So let's talk a little bit about Punjab and investment opportunities in the state. And to what extent have you been able to attract potential investors and sort of say that you know Punjab is a place to invest in. Thank you Asian first for life. Come here as a young global leader and therefore I have my by JAL engagements that our schedule or throw today. But I am on the sidelines having pair two pair or one on one meetings with people from industry. And the focus, of course, is to talk more about the deli growth storey and the Punjab's development dream and the sectors that I have been quite frankly, focusing on visibly Punjab are agro and food processing, mobility and logistics travel in tourism, textiles These are largely my focus areas and I mean, what does an investor want? And Investor warned that it should be a good business in my month. There should be availability of labour, good logistics, connectivity, Internet and I think Punjab has it all. I think in terms of logistics we have one of the strongest logistical bag months in the country where dp it just very recently came out. The report which said In terms of ease, of doing safe logistics, Punjab is number one. We have given statutory backing not just in speeches but actually legislating ease of doing business by coming out with Punjab and T right A Pact and Punjab right to Business Act one of a kind and above all, an honest government. Rolling the red carpet, cracking down on corruption and rolling the red carpet for industry by giving incentives, whether it's stamp duty waivers, GST in centres, access to subside, land facilitating PPS even going to the extent of giving the viability gap funding. I think Punjab, the land of green revolution, the food been able to interesting over here. I mean, are you looking at mus are there any which are potentially being signed this time they're they're been, Let me put a like this that there have been nice conversations, which which which are a starting point which could possibly lead to an investment. And I think I tried my level best to convince investors to come to Punjab. And it's it's phenomenal to see that Raja, so many states from the country there are chasing investment and have a healthy competition among themselves, with only one objective to make the state stronger. As a result, to make the country's India being a union of states, it's important for the states to come and also fend for themselves at the global arena. You been doctor about Mahala Clinic, something you can be well in Delhi. How is that worked? Our menu spoken in the context to being a young global leader on so no So there was a very interesting panel discussion where it was moderated by the former British Prime minister, Mr Blair, a Tony Blair and in which, you know, a bunch of health ministers from different parts of the world participated and they discussed sustainable healthcare, healthcare financing and, you know, the post financing of health care and in that they I had the wonderful opportunity of talking about Mahala clinics of the Arvind Kejriwal model of governance That got a lot of attention and you know, it's we will. Usually when we speak of healthcare, we speak of the tertiary level that is a super specialty hospitals. But what is most critical for early detection, prevention and giving access to healthcare to even the underprivileged rights, the primary healthcare tear. And that is what the Aam Aadmi party has demonstrated and mastered in the city of Delhi, which is now going into Punjab, where, you know, on the 27th of January, a big bank inauguration of 500 more likely nexus is supposed to happen. What about the education model of Delhi? Is that something that's also come up? While in my last visit it came up, this time is largely been about investments is largely been about conversations around the economy. How the world is moving towards the low growth but high inflation high debt economy and how geopolitical sort of a competition as well as the sustained economic downturn, is impacting the global fiscal health. And that's been largely my area of focus because I come from the world of finance so that when I have been keenly attending the one final question zero This is largely a political Davos. I mean, it's at one level, not just state with its the India Storey deuce and you've been here before His well, how do you see doubles this year? Well, I do certainly feel that India has a strong presence. Have said this of cameras Well, that India has a fantastic presence. If you go to walk through the promenade, UC shall is of state governments. UCC shall ease of the government of India, you see, shall is of Indian Corporates or you see shall is of, you know, foreign Corporates headed by people from the Indian. So you can probably take more than 10 steps and not witnessed or not see are not feel an Indian element on the prominent. That that makes me feel that there is a dominance of India at the International forum and Shelly and not yet. But very soon I am hoping that there will be a Punjab Shelly and a deli. Shall I two separate chalice, While God willing, as hopefully why not well, that's interesting. And I think that would possibly generate a great deal of business and certainly interest as well. Great speaking to and hopefully things will work out. Thanks. Bye. Marcia Raghav Chadda of the Aam Aadmi party Talking a little bit about the storey over there, the potential of bringing in investment. And I think the takeaway in a sense, is that coming to the next World Economic Forum sessions and the Davos meets, they would have shall ease of Punjab and Delhi over here, possibly to try and bring in more investment.
