By taking a giant leap in shaping up a digital framework, led by new-age technology, India’s economy has witnessed a paradigm shift. From surpassing estimates of multilateral bodies such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the country is likely to see a healthy GDP growth of over 8 per cent for FY24.

Besides, the IMF as well as various rating agencies have set revised growth estimates for India, indicating a higher consumption fuelling more manufacturing in the country.

In the midst of this unprecedented growth, Republic Media Network’s sixth news brand ‘Republic Business’, launched at the ‘India Economic Summit’ in New Delhi in December 2023, aims to be a medium reflecting the country’s inspiring growth story and the world of business news.
