BTS: Inside Business Today’s CEO Edition—Growth King Subbiah & Arundhati’s Digital Leadership Story

In this edition of the Business Today magazine, we examine how India Inc continues to show resilience amid growing global uncertainty. The ongoing conflict in West Asia and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have triggered an oil and gas shock, once again highlighting the risks of heavy dependence on imported energy. The editorial underlines that aatmanirbharta is not about isolation, but about building domestic capacity and economic resilience while staying open to global capital. It also stresses that India’s multi-alignment foreign policy will be key to navigating a fragmented world and reducing external vulnerabilities. The Business Today–PwC India’s Best CEOs list showcases leaders who have thrived in this volatile environment. From Arundhati Bhattacharya’s leadership journey at Salesforce to Vellayan Subbiah’s transformation-led growth, and from Karan Adani’s logistics focus to S.N. Subrahmanyan’s infrastructure scale at L&T, these leaders reflect the evolving strength of India Inc. Across manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and logistics, companies led by Anish Shah, Sunil Vachani, and others are adapting rapidly to structural shifts. Overall, this edition highlights a clear message: in an uncertain world, the winning strategy is to diversify, de-risk, and build stronger domestic capabilities while staying globally connected.
