Water, mountains, and snow are all present in India, contributing to a significant rise in tourism across the country. India boasts the Mahakumbh, a unique event that China does not have. One can see the reflection of the entire world within India, and the country is largely self-reliant, with minimal dependence on others. Tourism, he added, provides a steady source of income for any state. Maharashtra, with a population of around 13 crore, has a population larger than that of many countries, meaning that focusing on tourism development in Maharashtra alone could generate a substantial economic turnover. Tourism also offers valuable life lessons, as every person encountered during travel imparts something new. This perspective was shared by Shri Angelo Rajesh Athaide, Chairman of the Global St. Angelo Group.
Dr. Avinash Phadke, Founder of Agilus Diagnostics, was the chief guest at the program. He shared with the audience, using examples, that Marathi people are highly capable in business. Marathi individuals have historically ruled the country and taken risks in wars. He encouraged them to embrace risk in business and move forward. Dr. Phadke also emphasized that small and medium enterprises should be listed on the stock market to raise capital and expand their businesses.
Deputy Commissioner of Goods and Services Tax, Mr. Chaitanya Tathare, highlighted the need to change the mindset of Marathi people towards business. He pointed out that many Marathi entrepreneurs struggle to understand the rules and regulations of direct and indirect taxes, which leads to failures in business.
Senior actress, writer, and producer of News Story Today, Mrs. Alka Bhujbal, attended the program as a special guest. She explained that News Story Today works to publicize those who strive to show the right direction to society. She also expressed the opinion that women in the tourism industry should be recognized and honored for their contributions.
