"We want India's youth to look at MyBharat in the morning and not Whatsapp," Mandaviya said. He stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will spend two days in January listening to the winners of a youth competition about defining the Viksit Bharat in 2047.
"Viksit Bharat should be built according to your aspirations," he told the young business leaders. The minister asked AIMA to share the key ideas and insights from the Young Leaders Summit so that he could present those to the government.
Mandaviya stated that the present government has changed the mindset of Indian youth from one of going overseas for higher education and career to returning from overseas for opportunities in India. He asserted Startup India, Stand Up India, Khelo India and such programmes are enabling the country's youth to aspire and realise their aspirations.

Listing the key tasks for India's young leaders, she pointed to India's low ratings on per capita income and gender parity. "We want the young leaders to focus on those. We have to move up such rankings because that is how the world judges us," she said, adding that as India becomes the third-largest economy in the world, it must also become the most inclusive.
