EMPOWERING

VIBRANTGUJARAT 2015

NARENDRA MODIPrime Minister of India

Gujarat is gearing up to organize the 7th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit in January, 2015.

This is a matter of personal satisfaction as I have seen the evolution of this platform since its

inception. It has transformed itself from an Investment Promotion Exercise into a Growth

Propelling Event. Transcending state boundaries, the Summit has emerged as a significant

national and international platform for sharing of knowledge, ideas and innovation.

I also take the opportunity to assure the investor community in general and participants in particular that along with the Government of Gujarat, the Government of India is also committed to ensuring a conducive environment for innovation and enterprise.

Gujarat is one of india’s most progressive states with a positive development quotient that has

always capitalized on its strength to leverage strategic opportunities. Its emerging channels of

progress thrive on business friendly policies, pro-people, proactive administration which has led to

creation of a globally preferred investment destination.

As the spirit of enterprise persists, Gujarat today is leveraging its equity through knowledge, skill

and global competence to drive future development.

WELCOME TO

VIBRANT GUJARAT 2015

ANANDIBEN PATELChief Minister, Gujarat

As a new vision entrenches itself, Gujarat is well poised to accelerate India’s growth in the 21st century.

Welcome to Gujarat -Land of Unlimited Opportunity

For well over a century, the people of Gujarat have travelled the world and to remote corners of

India to explore their insatiable spirit of enterprise. Once there, they would embed themselves and

create distinct sub-cultures identifying their vibrant way of life. And at the turn of the millennium,

the spirit of Gujarat re-engineers itself to lend fresh impetus to create new and exciting pathways

of progress and development. In the cusp of tradition and culture, the state has embarked on

transformational journeys in driving trade, commerce, globalization and governance.

as well as its qualified aspirations, Gujarat looks

to create an advanced urban infrastructure, a

liberal tax ecosystem, minimum regulation and

maximum governance, which will in turn pre-

empt the nation’s own aspirations.
