10 Viksit Bharat @2047
A developed India by 2047. The diaspora has a part to play.
Viksit Bharat @2047 is the Government of India’s national vision to make India a fully developed nation by 2047 — one hundred years of independence.
The vision covers economic growth, social progress, environmental sustainability and good governance. It is built around people: youth, those still catching up, women, and farmers. The aim is dignity in daily life — education, health, skills, livelihoods — and a country that contributes to the world.
India’s President has said the Indian diaspora is an integral part of this vision. From Australia, and from Sydney first, that means entrepreneurship, knowledge-sharing, investment of time and trust, and keeping a living connection with India.
Through our community, we seek to:
- Connect Introduce people who can work with India — founders, professionals, researchers and friends of India.
- Skills Share knowledge, mentorship and market experience with youth and first-time founders.
- Enterprise Support trade, collaboration and responsible business between Australia, India and the world.
- Youth Point people toward national programmes for ideas, skilling and leadership, including MY Bharat.
- Belonging Keep the diaspora close to India’s story, in an inclusive community worth returning to.
IndiaWise is a community that organises people so contribution is easier. Connect locally. Collaborate globally.
