NEW DELHI: Newly appointed CII President Uday Kotak on Thursday said as the coronavirus pandemic has changed the status quo of the world, the corporate sector now needs to focus on managing growth, lives and livelihoods while considering the challenges associated with life after the pandemic.

Presenting a 10-point roadmap to revive growth in the post-Covid world, Kotak also said that growth is a necessity now and it should lead to creations of jobs.

"Growth is a necessity that should lead to creation of more jobs while CII works as a knowledge partner with the government for building self-reliant and competitive India that is deeply engaged with the world," he said at a media briefing here on Thursday.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has laid out a 10-point road map to revive growth and navigate the challenges of loss of lives and livelihoods posed by the global pandemic COVID-19 that has forced countries across the world to reset their growth paths. The industry body's theme for 2020-21 is 'Building India for a New World: Lives, Livelihood, Growth'.

"We are in uncharted territories and are grappling to find new ways to brave the changes. But we are confident of the resilience of Indian industry and its innovative skills to beat every such challenge", Kotak said. (IANS)
