Shri Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD and CEO of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), has celebrated the Union Budget 2024 as a beacon of hope and opportunity for millions of Indians. Chauhan’s heartfelt praise underscores how the budget promises to reshape lives across the country.
“This budget is a game-changer,” Chauhan declared, highlighting its transformative impact on job creation and entrepreneurship. The budget’s focus on integrating both the private and public sectors in job creation is seen as a pivotal step toward a brighter economic future. Chauhan particularly commended the relief on angel tax and the significant increase in the Mudra loan scheme limit—from Rs 10 lakhs to Rs 20 lakhs—as measures that will empower countless aspiring entrepreneurs.
Chauhan also noted the budget’s attention to women’s increased participation in the workforce, which he believes will unlock vast potential and strengthen India’s demographic dividend. With skill development, infrastructure investment, and a reduced fiscal deficit to 4.9%, the budget has set a promising course for India’s future.
