The ETNOW.in Business Conclave & Awards 2025 took place on Feb 25 at Delhi's Taj Palace.

The ETNOW.in Business Conclave & Awards 2025, hosted by Times Network Digital, honoured industry leaders and innovators shaping India's economic landscape. Held under the banner of ET NOW’s Rise with India initiative, the event provided a platform for thought leadership, celebrating businesses and individuals contributing to the country’s Viksit Bharat vision.

Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State for Science & Technology, highlighted India’s rapid growth in the space sector, stating. “India’s space sector has seen a quantum leap under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, unlocking opportunities for private players. In just months of opening the sector, we attracted over ₹1,000 crore in investments, with our space economy poised to grow fivefold to $44 billion in the coming decade.”

Former Union Minister and tech investor Rajeev Chandrasekhar addressed the need for a modern IT law to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technology. “The IT Act is 25 years old and doesn’t even mention the Internet, let alone AI—two of the biggest forces shaping the digital economy today. A new law should be clear, precise, and entrepreneur-first, ensuring AI and digital technologies contribute to progress without unnecessary restrictions.”

Lt. Gen. K. T. Parnaik (Retd.), Governor of Arunachal Pradesh, highlighted the strategic importance of border security and infrastructure development. “Arunachal is a land of immense potential, with rich biodiversity, strong cultural roots, and a hydroelectric capacity of 58,000 MW. We are strengthening infrastructure, implementing land reforms, and attracting investments while prioritising security along our three international borders.”
