Thank you.
My next award under Economic Policy goes to Mr Sanjeev Sanya, member of the Economic Advisory Council of the Prime Minister. Apart from being a leading economist and a financial markets expert, Mr Sanya is also an environmentalist promoting sustainable development, and an urban theorist. He has been one of the main architects of G20’s global action plan, which was used to coordinate the international response to COVID-19. He is also an ardent votary of enforcement of contracts and modernizing the banking sector.
So let me say that I’m indeed honored to even be considered for this prestigious award. Let me say that it is a special honor to be getting it from Vivekda, who is not merely a colleague but someone I consider mentor and guru.
Let me accept it then on behalf of our very young team of young professionals and young consultants who work in our team. And let me say that the next generation of policy makers are on the way, and let me assure you that they are excellent, Sameer ji. So, you know, many of them will be here on this stage in a few years’ time.
So let me accept it on their behalf, and also of the perennially beleaguered community of policy makers. As you all know, every Indian has very strong opinions on economic policies. Nobody remembers it when you get it right, but if you ever get it wrong, nobody forgets it.
Thank you very much.
