The Lok Sabha 2024 elections mark an important moment in India's political landscape. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), secured 291 seats and formed the government. Despite falling short of a majority, the senior leaders of the BJP, under the stewardship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, appear to exude an air of confidence.
Following the establishment of the new government, ministerial positions have been swiftly assigned. The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) retains its existing portfolios, without any alterations. Meanwhile, JP Nadda has been appointed as the new Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare.

From evaluating the present landscape to offering an analysis of potential challenges and opportunities, the industry leaders provide insights into how the future might unfold in the coming years, if not months.
