New Delhi, February 22, 2025: The Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC), hosted an exclusive session with Sri Mohan Bhagwat, Chief, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in New Delhi. The event witnessed an interactive session that celebrated ICC's centenary year, discussed India's path towards becoming viksit, and concluded with a question-answer round by the audience. The session witnessed participation from various business leaders, policymakers and thought leaders, including ICC President and Managing Director of Jindal Stainless, Mr Abhyuday Jindal; Chairman, ICC Advisory Council & Chairman, RPSG Group, Dr Sanjiv Goenka; Chairperson Emeritus, OP Jindal Group, Smt Savitri Jindal; Senior Vice President, ICC, Mr Brij Bhushan Agarwal to name a few.
During the session, Shri Mohan Bhagwat elaborated on how he successfully led and sustained the organisation and its members, who are always committed to volunteer and support communities and the nation in times of both crisis and stability. When asked on the Sangh's view on technology in today's world, Shri Mohan Bhagwat said, "Technology is inevitable as human intelligence continues to evolve. Scientists will keep making discoveries, but it is essential to use technology ethically. It should not lead to exploitation but rather be guided by values. The key is to make technology ecology-friendly and socially beneficial."
While addressing the audience, President, ICC and Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, Mr Abhyuday Jindal, said, "At ICC, we believe true progress is achieved when everyone has the opportunity to thrive. The path ahead for all of us is clear. By championing self-reliance, indigenous innovation, and ethical governance—principles upheld by social reformists like Shri Bhagwat ji—industries and associations like ICC can help the government accelerate India towards becoming viksit by 2047."
Chairman, ICC Advisory Council & Chairman, RPSG Group, Dr Sanjiv Goenka, in his special address said, "The RSS has functioned quietly for a century, dedicating itself to the benefit of society with unwavering commitment. Its work has not been driven by tactical calculations but by ethos and a commitment to serve. Time and again during natural calamities, the RSS has stood in the forefront as first responders. Their motivation stems not from publicity but from innate sense of duty for the hamanity. This is something we need to imbibe even in small measures – it will do us great good."
