Post-Budget reaction: Rajiv Gandhi, Chairman, FICCI Gujarat Council and Founder & CEO, Hester Biosciences

Quantitively, the budget is in line with the ongoing economic reforms. The middle class will have more disposable income, propelling more expenditure by them. The proposed spending on infrastructure will further propel growth. Qualitatively, there is even more in the budget, showing the government’s stride towards getting reforms which will change the thinking of citizens, getting more transparency into the system, thereby fortifying the path towards making India a superpower as well as self-reliant.
