Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday delivered the keynote address at India Today Conclave 2023, saying India has shown the world democracy can deliver. There is a competition now among countries to return stolen artefacts to India, and this is a reflection of the 'India Moment', Modi said on Saturday

"Nations today are returning artefacts stolen from here. That's the India moment," PM Modi said.

"Magnificent developments in infrastructure, economy, and digital sectors made in the last 75 days proudly show that it is India’s moment," he said.

PM Modi began his speech by saying that it was fantastic to see that the Conclave's topic was 'The India Moment,' and he congratulated India Today Group for selecting the theme. “Prominent economists, analysts, and thinkers from around the world are unanimous in their belief that this is India's moment,” Modi said.

Speaking on the first day of India Today Conclave 2023, RPSG Group Chairman Sanjiv Goenka praised Prime Minister Modi and said he taught the world to respect India. He also hailed the central government led by PM Modi for making it possible for entrepreneurs and industrialists to think big.

"When the world around us is crumbling, India is actually standing up and doing well. A few years ago, when you went outside, nobody gave Indians any respect. Today, when you go outside and say 'I am from India', you are given respect. I think Modi ji has taught the world to respect India," Sanjiv Goenka said.

"The ease of doing business is fantastic. The sheer vision, the scale of repositioning that the prime minister and home minister bring to the table is unparalleled," he added.

Vedanta Resources Limited Chairman Anil Agarwal also praised the Prime Minister and said it was time for India to be counted as a first-world nation.
