Warmest 75th birthday wishes to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. As the first Prime Minister born post-independence and the second-longest serving Prime Minister, his ongoing vision is guiding our nation towards Viksit Bharat by 2047. Rising from humble beginnings in Gujarat to Lok Kalyan Marg in Delhi, his 24 years in leadership roles at both state and central levels reflect his dedication, patience, and commitment. His impactful policies, from Jan Dhan Yojana to Chandrayaan 3, and Ayushman Bharat to Digital India, are foundational to the principles of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas.
Under his guidance, India has become the world’s fourth-largest economy and capital market, with the equity market capitalisation of NSE-listed firms increasing over sixfold—from approximately ₹67 lakh crore in May 2014 to nearly ₹460 lakh crore today. Additionally, the number of unique registered investors has surged sevenfold in 11 years—from 1.7 crore in May 2014 to around 12 crore today, with over 23 crore investor accounts covering 99.85% of India’s PIN codes, excluding just 28. This growth in capital markets signifies the expansion of India’s middle class, with nearly one in four households now investing in equities, reflecting the increasing confidence in India’s economic prospects under his visionary leadership.
His stature among global leaders brings pride to every Indian citizen and motivates us as active contributors. We wish him a long and healthy life as he continues to guide India forward.
