Narendra Damodardas Modi (born 17 September 1950) is an Indian politician serving as the 14th and current Prime Minister of India since 2014. He was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014 and is the Member of Parliament for Varanasi. Modi is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation. He is the first prime minister outside of the Indian National Congress to win two consecutive terms with a full majority and the second to complete five years in office after Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Popular thinking across all sections of society now seems to indicate that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mantra to fight the covid-19 pandemic - 'jaan bhi, jahan bhi' - will fast emerge as the new normal.
Keeping this in mind, the time has come for us to collectively resurrect the industry, yet maintaining adequate safeguards to protect lives.
An inspiring example of living this mantra comes from my friend, RS Sodhi, managing director at GCMMF Ltd (AMUL), trying to draw a fine balance between ‘jaan’ and ‘jahan’.
He spoke on CNBC-TV18 recently, sharing some excellent insights into how business can engage with customers during a time like this.
