Vision:

"To manifest a Better Bharat by promoting awareness and need of transformative power AI among businesses, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing, and enabling inclusive growth that strengthens enterprise and contributes meaningfully to national development."

Mission

1. To advocate for AI awareness and adoption by representing the evolving needs of commerce and industry to all levels of government.
2. To connect Indian enterprises with global trade and innovation ecosystems for shared learning and scalable growth.
3. To promote excellence by recognizing organizations and individuals leveraging AI to meet world-class standards and drive impact.
4. To provide a one-stop platform for guidance, consultation, and services that help businesses integrate ethically and effectively.
5. To encourage sustainable, inclusive progress by fostering a culture of responsible AI use aligned with local values and global ambitions.

Despite challenging global conditions and emerging trade tariffs, India is still one of the fastest growing economies of the world, the world's fourth-largest economy by nominal GDP and the third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). India is confident to continue on this path, with aspirations to reach high middle-income status, before the centenary of Indian independence

Since trade will play a critical role in boosting growth, the IMC will strive to ensure this by harnessing India's trade potential. By creating an atmosphere of openness and ease to trade, India's technological capabilities will get enhanced, productivity will improve, growth will spurt, and long-term economic resilience will be built.

And what better way to do it than by harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) which will revolutionise the trading turf in India. Today's basic algorithmic trade approach must soon evolve into sophisticated deep learning models that achieve remarkable accuracy in predicting market trends globally and benefits to the Indian economy. We need to nurture Ai systems that analyse historical market data and generate automated trading signals far faster than any learned human analyst can.

I thank the IMC for coopting me and giving me the opportunity to help manifest a better Bharat by promoting awareness and need of Ai in fostering trade in India. The appropriate theme I have chosen for my tenure is:- "MANIFEST A BETTER BHARAT WITH AI."
