Reliance is one moving in that direction with investment coming from Aramco to the tune of USD 15 billions and aiming to make net debt free company. We need min 10 companies of Reliance size to make it happen.In India big companies contribute 40% of GDP (USD 2.5 Trillions GDP) while in China it is 70% of GDP (USD 12 Trillion GDP).We need to partner with global companies but to make them invest in India we need to create a platform where they invest with out fear.
