Strategic Business Management for Viksit Bharat 2047: A Framework for Inclusive and Sustainable Development

Abstract

As India draws closer to celebrating 100 years of independence in 2047, the nation's journey toward becoming a developed economy is not just about numbers and growth rates—it's about people, communities, and the shared aspirations that drive progress. This abstract reframes the role of business management in this context, recognizing it as a cornerstone for innovation, sustainability, and inclusive growth. These elements are more than strategic buzzwords; they represent the hopes and dreams of millions who envision a "Viksit Bharat" (Developed India) where prosperity reaches every corner, and no one is left behind. By bringing together insights from current research and real-world trends, this paper lays out a framework that emphasizes leadership and governance as crucial to aligning business goals with the broader national vision. The need for adaptability is clear, as the challenges of tomorrow will require fresh thinking and renewed commitment. In the end, this isn't just about guiding businesses—it's about weaving their success into the very fabric of the nation's future, ensuring that as India steps into its centennial, it does so as a nation where development is synonymous with opportunity and equity for all.
