Participating through video conferencing in an event organised by the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM), Porter said Indians want to be successful and they also want to be prosperous.

“India is one of the most important countries in the world. India is a democracy, it is not China, it is not Russia. It is not trying to take over another nation.

“It is a country which is trying to create prosperity for its citizens and it has a lot of strength and energy and making this work is of utmost importance in the evolution of the world economy right now,” the economist said.

Also, speaking at the event, Christian Ketels, professor at HBS, said India is one of the countries that have the greatest potential for increasing its growth opportunities for all its citizens.

Institute for Competitiveness Chairman Amit Kapoor said if the world has to succeed, India has to be a success story.
