Union Minister Smriti Irani in an interview with NDTV said the "India story" is "setting Davos on fire" as four ministers, including herself, work to highlight the strengths of India's economy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's agenda. Ms Irani, the Minister of Women and Child Development and Minority Affairs, said India has made a strong "economic case" for gender justice in Davos, in line with what her ministry does. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a case very strongly that when you invest in women-led development, you invest in a stronger economy, you invest in a stronger purpose to fuel your country's healthcare sector, your country's education sector because it has been historically proven that when a woman's purchasing power, and consumption power involve a scale, then she tends to spend more of her money on these two important segments," Ms Irani said.
