India@75 is a universal vision for India shared by Indians from all geographies and all walks of life. It was developed using collaborative public reasoning processes that involved thousands of Indians from all sections of society. Prahalad, 1941 – 2010), the Paul and Ruth McCracken Distinguished University Professor of Corporate Strategy at the University of Michigan, is the inspirational force behind the India@75 initiative. While commemorating the 60th year of India’s independence, on 23 Sep 2007 during the Incredible India@60 celebrations at New York, Prof Prahalad articulated the idea of a developed India in three dimensions i.e. robust economic resilience, technological vitality and vibrant moral leadership by 75 years of independence – India@75 - 2022.
