Mahindra highlighted India's remarkable evolution, emphasising its growing self-reliance and influence on the global stage.
"India is well positioned to more than fend for itself. It is no longer the 99-pound lightweight on the beach. It can demonstrate military might. It can boast of political stability, anchored by its raucous and robust democracy that was on full display in the central elections, when a nation of over a billion people voted seamlessly, peaceably, and effectively," he wrote.
