The Modern India was honoured to hold 3 events at Arendalsuka 2021. Day 1-How India will redesign the World The world was last designed seventy-five years ago. This is the time to look at a world redesign beyond the narrow national interests, to one which would serve the best interests of people and our planet.  In the late nineteenth century, the three great powers were imperial Britain, the United States, and a rising Germany. In the mid-twentieth century, the US, Britain and the Soviet Union formed the dominant troika. As the twenty-first century enters its second quartile, the three most important nations will be the US, China, and India. The most remarkable phenomenon in Asia in the 21st century is arguably the economic rise of China and India. Amazingly, the two most populous countries in the world are uplifting millions of their citizens annually from poverty through rapid economic growth. India will be the third largest economy in the world by 2030. We had with us on the panel: Sam Pitroda, The father of India's communication revolution, an internationally recognized telecom inventor, entrepreneur, development thinker, and policy maker who has spent fifty years in information and communications technology (ICT) and related global and national developments. Shabnam Siddiqui, Executive Director at UN Global Compact Network India, Kim Gabrielli, Executive Director at UN Global Compact Network Norway, & Rina Sunder, founder, Det moderne INDIA.
