“As India moves towards a more sustainable future, the Union Budget 2025 is a key moment to boost the country’s renewable energy and electric mobility sectors. We hope to see strong policy support and tax incentives that encourage innovation in clean energy solutions like solar, wind, and energy storage, while also prioritizing the growth of domestic manufacturing for green technologies. Simplifying regulations, alongside increased funding for renewable energy R&D and grid integration, can help India maintain its position as a global leader in sustainable energy.

Additionally, as the EV market rapidly grows, the budget must address critical needs in the EV battery and recycling sectors. Policies that promote the development of advanced battery manufacturing, establish robust recycling networks, and support circular economy initiatives are crucial for a self-sufficient and sustainable electric vehicle ecosystem. Strengthening research and encouraging collaboration between public and private sectors in the battery supply chain will not only reduce our reliance on imports but also pave the way for India to become a global leader in clean innovation”.

New Delhi, January 22, 2025 – In a compelling call to action, Apurv Mishra, a member of, the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council (EAC) on Wednesday, emphasized the critical role of education in shaping India’s future as a developed nation (Viksit Bharat) and global power by 2047.

“There is an immediate need for systemic reforms, highlighting education not only as a social and economic imperative but as a cornerstone of national security and strategic autonomy,” Mishra said at the North India Education Summit 2025, organized by the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Delhi.

“Education is not just a social or economic issue; it is a pressing national security concern. If India aims to be a developed country by 2047 and a leading global power, we must build world-class capabilities in frontier technologies. Incremental improvements—like faceless assessments, updated teaching practices, better infrastructure, real-time parent-student accountability, alumni involvement, state university funding, and a healthy PhD ecosystem—are crucial to reforming our higher education system,” Mishra further stated.

The summit brought together policymakers, educators, and thought leaders to explore strategies for addressing challenges in teaching, training, and institutional frameworks. Discussions centered on fostering a thriving ecosystem for deep science, building capabilities in frontier technologies, and driving incremental yet impactful changes, such as modernized curriculums, improved infrastructure, and enhanced state university funding.

Simrin Bakshi, chairperson, of the North India Education Committee, ICC, addressed the dual role of education in individual and national transformation, stressing the need for stronger industry-academia linkages, quality faculty, and innovative solutions for inclusive and globally competitive education.

“There is an urgency to align India’s education system with its global aspirations. By addressing systemic gaps and embracing innovation, we can position education as a catalyst for societal and economic transformation,” said Bakshi.

A key theme of the summit was innovation in education, encompassing advancements in technology, pedagogy, and sustainability. The event also focused on creating equitable learning environments to empower individuals to contribute meaningfully to their communities and beyond.

As the founder of a young startup, I see the Union Budget 2025 as an important opportunity to support MSMEs, which are key drivers of India’s economy. Beyond funding and financial incentives, what we truly need is a streamlined regulatory framework that simplifies clearances and processes, saving valuable time and resources for businesses like ours.

The current regulatory landscape, while improving, can still be challenging for startups navigating compliance, licenses, and approvals. Simplifying these processes, creating single-window clearance systems, and offering sector-specific guidelines would significantly reduce operational roadblocks and allow businesses to focus on innovation and growth.

Support for R&D in sectors like personal care and hygiene, where innovation is key, would provide a competitive edge for businesses catering to evolving consumer needs. While we seek to improve menstrual health for all menstruators, support, and resources in R&D to enhance and upgrade are key for startups like us.

The Union Budget has the potential to enable MSMEs to scale operations, contribute to economic growth, and generate employment. A clear focus on simplifying processes and improving ease of doing business will not only benefit MSMEs but also strengthen India’s position as a hub for entrepreneurial success.

The advertising and creative industries in India are facing significant challenges due to high taxation, particularly the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which is among the highest in developing nations. This, along with poor economic performance, has led to reduced marketing budgets and a decline in consumer purchasing power. India’s GDP is at its lowest in 21 years, and the FMCG sector, a key indicator of consumer spending, is struggling. This reflects the financial pressures many people are facing, with purchasing power limited outside the wealthiest 200 million. The government needs to reassess its fiscal policies to stimulate economic growth. As we look ahead to the Union Budget 2025, there is a clear demand for lowering both direct and indirect taxes, creating more employment opportunities for lower-income groups, restoring investor confidence by addressing bureaucracy and high taxes, and easing compliance burdens for businesses. These steps are essential not just for the advertising sector but for the broader economy to recover and grow.

The spending power that consumers have right now is directly linked to the advertising industry. The more a consumer consumes a good or service, the better the chances that a specific brand will increase its advertising budget every year. This means the advertising industry gets its share. However, in recent developments, we’ve seen that many taxations have come into effect, which are, in one way or another, hampering the buying power that consumers have. This is a threat, and I would like to see it addressed in this Union Budget. The taxation the public is facing right now should be looked into, especially considering that millennials, who are spending most of their money on goods and services, are also burdened with taxes, EMIs, and rising interest rates. This is an area I would want the Union Budget to focus on.

As for the overall perspective, while the government is doing enough for startups and funds, I believe more funds should be allocated to startups to encourage more people to embark on their entrepreneurial journey. This would also benefit the advertising industry. At the same time, there should be some relaxations or tax cuts for the advertising industry. The advertising sector is often neglected, and startups aren’t truly considered startups in this industry. Any special rebates or tax cuts the government can provide for this industry would be extremely beneficial.

This historic appearance marked the first time an India-born Punjabi music artist attended Paris Men’s Fashion Week, further cementing the luxury house’s commitment to cultural diversity under Williams’ creative direction.

The show, which marks Nigo’s return to Louis Vuitton following his celebrated 2020 capsule collection with the late Virgil Abloh, drew an exceptional array of cultural luminaries, including Jackson Wang, Bam Bam, Victor Wembanyama, Leon Marchand, BTS’s J-Hope, AP Dhillon, Travis Scott, Future Pluto Hendricks, Don Toliver, Pusha T, Big Smoke, Boozy, Sabrina Elba, Idris Elba, Bradley Cooper, ASAP Nast, Aron Pierre, Adrien Brody, J Balvin, Dylan Wang, Slick Rick the Ruler, and Tyshawn Jones. These attendees, representing a wide range of artistic and cultural influences, contributed to a night that celebrated global diversity and creativity.

Dhillon, representing a new wave of South Asian influence in luxury fashion, commanded attention in a meticulously crafted Louis Vuitton ensemble — a masterful blend of streetwear aesthetics and traditional Louis Vuitton luxury, featuring innovative interpretations of the house’s iconic design aesthetics. The singer-songwriter, rapper, and record producer wore an elevated workwear blouson, crafted from silk-wool double-face fabric layered over Japanese denim skate jeans in a versatile light blue wash, paired with the signature LV Checker range of military-inspired boots. The look highlighted the marriage of streetwear utility with traditional luxury that has become Williams’ hallmark.

AP Dhillon, who made his debut at the fashion week, shared: “Being present at this intersection of culture and luxury, especially in a space as iconic as the Louvre, represents a pivotal moment not just for me, but for the entire creative community. Pharrell’s vision for Louis Vuitton embraces authentic multiculturalism, and I’m honored to be part of this narrative that’s reshaping the fashion landscape.”

The show, which transformed the Louvre into an unprecedented fashion spectacle, continues Williams’ tradition of utilizing Paris’s most prestigious landmarks as backdrops for his collections, following his previous presentations at the Pont Neuf, Jardin d’Acclimatation, and UNESCO headquarters.

Dhillon’s presence at this landmark show, alongside the collaboration between Williams and streetwear pioneer Nigo, underscores Louis Vuitton’s commitment to bridging diverse cultural influences in contemporary luxury fashion and popularizing streetwear’s visibility in high fashion.

Mumbai, January 22, 2025: The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has partnered with Credlix, a global leader in supply chain financing solutions, through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance the growth of Indian exporters and strengthen their global presence.

By combining FIEO’s extensive network with Credlix’s expertise in financial services, the partnership aims to address key challenges faced by exporters. Initiatives include workshops, training, financing advisory, and technological support to raise awareness — a solution that helps businesses scale their operations effectively.

Mr. Rahul Garg, Founder & CEO, of Credlix, stated, “We are proud to collaborate with FIEO to empower Indian exporters on their path to growth and self-reliance. This partnership shows our shared commitment to overcoming key trade challenges.

By providing SMEs with financial and logistical resources, we aim to help them overcome barriers, enhance operational efficiency, and capitalize on opportunities in international trade.”

Dr. Sahai further highlighted the liquidity gap and lack of credit flow in the Indian economy, which has posed persistent challenges for exporters. “Export finance remains a critical issue for various segments, particularly for MSMEs, which are the backbone of India’s export ecosystem,” he noted.

The MSME sector contributed 45.73% of India’s exports in 2023-24, yet it continues to struggle with limited access to export finance. With 35,000 members, primarily from the MSME segment, FIEO sees this MoU as a pivotal step in addressing these challenges and unlocking growth opportunities for exporters.

This alliance is set to simplify export operations, enhance business capabilities, and accelerate the growth of Indian exporters, contributing to India’s economic progress and reinforcing its position in global trade.
