Sanjiv Puri, CMD, ITC, says the Indian economy and even rural India has been very resilient. The infrastructure that has been created, the connectivity, focus on housing and digitisation, the direct benefit transfer and stuff like free food grain distribution are some of the very important steps taken in terms of the investment in the rural economy and that is why it is quite resilient. Puri further says: “We have a core portfolio which, given the growing consumption in India and the opportunity for penetration, the opportunity for per capita consumption is huge, we are saying that we need to scale that up, use that to address adjacencies and also build categories of the future. Some of them start scaling them, some of them incubate them.” Do you think India can sustain 7% growth? Sanjiv Puri: Yes, this is eminently possible. That is the kind of number we should be aiming for at the minimum. You see, growing at 7% which is what is the estimate for the year and beyond this year, at a time when the whole world is struggling, when the global growth is the least in a long period, global trade is significantly lower than what it used to be at that time itself, we are growing at 7%.
