On a day when world markets were hit by commercial uncertainties and saw the worst Monday of the years, Vedanta President Anil Agarwal brought to social media to share a message of resilience and reform, both personal and national.

“When the world around is uncertain and chaotic, there is only one thing you can do: make yourself strong. So strong that you will be the last one,” Agarwal published in X (before Twitter), invoking the spirit of self-placement.

Quoting the iconic lines of the Poet Allama Iqbal – “Khudi Ko Kar Buland Itna, Ki Har Taqdeer SE Pehle, Khuda Bande Se Khud Pochhe, Bataaa Teri Raza Kya Hai” Personal Philosophy, but as an economic vision for India.

“For India, the mantra should be deregulated our economy. We become the most competitive country,” he wrote. “Then, with our great market and top quality market businessmen, we can face any storm.”

The comments of the industrial billionaire are in the midst of world financial volatility, commercial tensions and concern for the slow growth of great economies.

Agarwal, the mining conglomerate and Vedanta metals is one of the largest corporate groups in India, has long defended pro-GOOD reforms, ease of business and reducing regulatory bottlenecks. His latest comments are a renewed push for structural economic changes that allow Indian businessmen to compete in the global scenario.

Many business leaders have echoed similar feelings in recent weeks, arguing that the next phase of growth in India will depend not only on domestic consumption, but also on the speed that the country can modernize its political frameworks.
