Gandhinagar, The first edition of LIBF Expo 2024 attempts to unite the global leaderships, entrepreneurs and thought influencers, offering a distinctive platform for networking, collaborations and innovation. The Expo also attracted leadership from the Government of Gujarat, with the Shri. Balvantsinh Rajput, Cabinet Minister of Industries, Civil Aviation, Rural Development, Labor & Employment, visiting the Expo and the Governor of Gujarat, Shri. Acharya Devvrat making his presence felt on the Awards Night, by underlining the Government’s role in creating a conducive environment for fast-track development within the country.

The Governor of Gujarat. Shri. Acharya Devvrat exalted the favourable business environment promoted by the current Government in Gujarat, and said, “Ever since the Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi has taken charge of our nation’s fortunes, our country’s development has grown by leaps and bounds. He initially transformed the State of Gujarat and is now well on course in transforming India as an economic superpower. India has already arrived in the global arena, and our Prime Minister is only steering the ship as the fastest growing economy in the work.”

The evening began with a crescendo with the participation of Mr. Vivek Oberoi, the eminent actor/entrepreneur and Shri. Shehzad Poonawalla, youth icon and spokesperson of the ruling dispensation in a rousing fireside chat. The two guests touched upon everything from personal development, goal setting to spirituality and devotion.

Mr. Vivek Oberoi, actor and entrepreneur, who already runs a successful chain of cafes said, “India has set new benchmarks in the adoption of technology and when people look at the negative aspects of technology like Deep Fake and generative AI, one needs to analyse this as an opportunity to grow faster. It is people who recognize and embrace future tech that will ultimately make a killing in terms of setting up successful start-ups that will grow to become future Unicorns. Before 2014, there were only 4 Unicorns, which has now grown to over 120 as on date. We are looking at becoming a $10 Trillion economy by 2035, but under the astute leadership of the Prime Minister, I see a future where we would be a $10 Trillion economy in the next 5 years.”
