The ET Business Growth Summit in Ahmedabad on July 31, the first event of the 18-city national series this edition, saw strong participation from industry, underscoring the resilience of businesses in the region.
The summit opened with an address by Rajesh Barhatt, Joint Commissioner, Industries, Gujarat, who outlined the state’s evolving industrial ecosystem and key policy initiatives aimed at accelerating manufacturing and enterprise growth. “Gujarat ranks second in terms of medium enterprises. This reflects the state’s strong ability to help micro and small enterprises scale up and transition into medium-sized businesses,” said Barhatt.
“Gujarat accounts for one third of what India produces and 18% of its (the country’s) industrial output. This shows the industrial strength of the state,” added Barhatt.
