In a world driven by connectivity, India offers the most affordable access to data and the internet, empowering innovation at the grassroots. Our people are not just the largest consumers\u2014they are becoming the best paymasters. And with tourism contributing over 10% to global output, India\u2019s rich heritage, culture, and experiences are set to make us a global tourism powerhouse. This is Bharat\u2019s moment\u2014to lead, to inspire, and to deliver growth that is inclusive, resilient, and future-ready,\u201d said the Minister.<\/p>\n The YiFi Summit, initiated in Kolkata last year, has grown into a powerful national platform, showcasing the entrepreneurial energy and financial aspirations of India\u2019s youth. The 2025 edition continued its mission with expanded participation, a strong focus on rural enterprise, and thought leadership from across the country.<\/p>\n Reinforcing the theme of inclusive progress, Mr. Tarang Khurana, National Chairman, Young Indians (Yi), shared:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cToday, we come together to celebrate more than just success; we celebrate passion, inclusion, and the unwavering spirit of entrepreneurship that is fueling Bharat\u2019s rise. The presence of 15 inspiring rural entrepreneurs at this summit is a powerful reminder that sustainable progress begins at the grassroots. Their journeys reflect resilience, innovation, and the will to build solutions that matter.\u201d<\/p>\n Underscoring the link between economic empowerment and youth leadership, Mr. Rishi Kumar Bagla, Chairman, CII Western Region and Chairman & Managing Director, BG Electricals & Electronics India Ltd., said:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThrough Young Indians, we\u2019ve built one of the most vibrant youth networks in the country. The YiFi Summit is a powerful extension of this effort because financial independence is central to entrepreneurship.
