India’s Job Growth Lies in Protecting Entrepreneurial Freedom, says Anil Agarwal

Anil Agarwal, Chairman of Vedanta Ltd., highlighted the need to protect and empower India’s entrepreneurs through his social media, calling for a business environment free from unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles.

“The greatest quality of an entrepreneur is their ability to take risks,” he noted, adding that risk-taking combined with hard work is what builds great companies and generates employment for the country’s youth. He emphasized that entrepreneurs should be focused on business risks, not regulatory or policy-related ones.

Highlighting the importance of enabling growth, the Chairman urged that unless there is a fundamental issue, entrepreneurs must be given complete freedom to operate and scale. “Let them grow 10x and become global leaders,” he highlighted.

His remarks have sparked a broader conversation around the need for regulatory reforms and a more supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem in India.
