VICE-PRESIDENT Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday said that India is set to become the world's third-largest economy by the end of this decade.
While addressing a gathering at the global alumni meet of Panjab University on Saturday, Dhankhar said, "I have no doubt that the time has come in this country for the convergence of intellect, experience, and exposure of alumni of various institutions. We have IIM, IITs, science institutes, several universities in forensic, petroleum, etc. We have important colleges. Now, if the alumni of these institutes come together on one platform, they will help in the formulation of policies that will be an eye-opener."

We expect 2025 to be a strong year for us in India: Toyota
AT a time when most automakers are grappling with sluggish demand, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is achieving impressive double-digit sales growth each month. This success is driven by its strong SUV portfolio and the strategic partnership between its parent company, Toyota Motor Corporation, and Suzuki Motor Corporation. The Japanese automaker is set to surpass the 3 lakh annual sales milestone in the financial year 2025 and expects this robust growth to continue into the next fiscal year. Unlike other carmakers focusing heavily on electrification, TKM has adopted a unique strategy by offering a broader range of green powertrain options, emphasizing its ultimate goal of reducing carbon emissions.
