Some great policies at the central level. But most of these happen -- more than half -- at the state level. Even if Centre makes some great policies, implementation lays with states: Gandhi
"Short term the flows into India will be limited, with consistent outflows. As far as growth goes, I subscribe to the belief that the next decade is India's decade," said Vikram Gandhi.
The fifth session at the IT Conclave Mumbai is titled 'Saving Planet Earth: ESG and the reality of sustainable investing' with Vikram Gandhi, founder of Asha Impact and Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School as the guest.
This is just putting on some weight. I hope to put on political weight, says Aaditya Thackeray.
Not just the government changed but this is an unconstitutional government where we are seeking justice in the Supreme Court, seeking justice for the democratic principles and the ideals of the Constitution. If at all there is justice, this government will collapse. Going by that, would you as an investor set up your office and your factory here?
I wonder how a leader as sharp as him (Devendra Fadnavis) is being a part of this government and he is being defamed for that and I don't like that.
Not a recognised party as yet, what he has got. He was trying to take away our name, he was trying to take away the logo for the Andheri elections that they did not have the intention to contest. The only intention was to damage the Shiv Sena, damage Maharashtra and put sustainable development and politics of Maharashtra on the backburner.
Now what they have got is Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena. It could be any Balasaheb, so it could be anyone's Shiv Sena they could be talking about. What we've got is Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray. These words are inseperable.
The fourth session of the day has Aaditya Thackeray discussing the future of Shiv Sena.
Only difference between cinema and OTT is in the writing, says Abhishek Bachchan. "Indian cinema is like our food thaali, it has a bit of everything. Web shows, you can do the same but deep dive, unlike in a movie, where you might have to skip some details," he said.
Abhishek Bachchan said that the character was difficult to portray the character as it was emotionally exhausting.
"He is biased. I am currently in his good books with my performances," says Abhishek Bachchan when asked about what Amitabh Bachchan thinks about the show. Jaya Bachchan does not watch the show as it is aggressive and violent, he said.
Always saw films like Baazigar, never saw a CEO founder on TV. So, for me acting has started now that I am able to do things I wanted to do: Naveen Kasturia
The more local we go with our stories, the more it will appeal to audiences globally: Saiyami Kher
The thrill of wondering what will happen next is why crime thriller works, says Amit Sadh.
I think there has been a huge democratisation of talent with the influx of digital streaming sites. Everything is now accessible to everyone with the push of a button: Abhishek Bachchan.
A good thriller is a rarity, says Abhishek Bachchan, whose show 'Breathe: Into The Shadows' is coming up with Season 2.
The third session of the day revolves around crime thrillers and how to breathe new life into it, with actors Abhishek Bachchan, Amit Sadh, Naveen Kasturia, Saiyami Kher, and director Mayank Sharma as guests.
