The journey has been extraordinary. The outcome: remarkable. Unexpected to the world beyond her borders. This is the story of India or Bharat, a nation scripting one of the most transformative chapters across the world.
We launch India Front at this pivotal moment not merely to chronicle this rise, but to help shape it. This is not another magazine or commentary platform. It is driven by a simple but powerful idea: journalism that builds, not just observes. Journalism that shapes conversations, convenes leaders, and drives solutions.
The criticism of the media is familiar — "You highlight what's wrong, but where are the solutions?" We're here to change that. Each issue of India Front will focus on a single theme of national importance. We will unpack its challenges, spotlight opportunities and put credible pathways for change on the table. We will work closely with some of the country's most respected minds. This is what we call 'Intent Journalism to Grow Bharat'.
Our inaugural theme, India's Supply Chain Ascendancy, is more than a headline. It is a blueprint for competitiveness and the scaffolding of our country's economic ambition. This is a compelling, insight-rich document of change. Forward-looking, opportunity-oriented and problem-solving in spirit.
In this edition, Ajay Sahai outlines a multipronged strategy to boost exports, Ashima Goyal and Arpita Mukherjee examine the policy and geopolitical foundations, and Saahil Goel brings to life the startup-led logistics revolution. We also feature sectoral insights from EEPC India and voices including Vikash Khatri, Anshul Singhal, Dushyant Mulani, Sumita Dawra, Sukumar K and more. Harish Bijoor writes compellingly on Brand Bharat, arguing why a trusted global perception must mirror domestic economic strength.
My deepest thanks to Pradyuman Maheshwari and Amishi Mehta. And to the 19 leaders who shared their wisdom to shape this inaugural edition. Your voices have helped lay the foundation of this conversation.
India Front is more than a publication. It is an invitation to participate, to contribute, to be part of India's growth story. Every month, we will bring you a new theme and a sharper national conversation.
Welcome to India Front. Welcome to the New Architecture of Indian Ambition.
