India jumped 79 ranks. Here’s how. #business #startup #india

From 145th to 63rd — India’s biggest leap in ease of doing business.

When Amitabh Kant looks back at India’s journey, he remembers the grind behind the headlines.
Coordinating with 40+ ministries and state governments, driving reforms, and pushing relentlessly until India jumped 79 places in just three years on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index.

But he also reminds us that India’s magic isn’t built in boardrooms — it’s built on the ground.
Kerala didn’t become a global tourism icon because of five-star hotels.
It was built by small entrepreneurs, boutique resorts, local art, culture, and cuisine.

And today, India has created something the world is studying closely — a digital public infrastructure that’s open-source, open-API, and processed 130 billion transactions last year.

In this episode of The Blume Podcast, Amitabh Kant joins Karthik Reddy to talk about building in India for the world — and why the next decade is about winning beyond boundaries.
