Anand Mahindra welcomes unmissable 'larger-than-life' poster of PM Modi at WEF Davos, where India's pitch is crystal clear
Mahindra and Mahindra group chairman Anand Mahindra is in Davos, Switzerland for the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) jamboree, and the fact that he is a regular attendee is more than evident from a tweet he has posted, where he indicates a close correlation in his mind between the month of January and the ski-town where each year the biggest political, economic and business leaders gather.

Mahindra and Mahindra group chairman Anand Mahindra is in Davos, Switzerland for annual World Ecomic Forum (WEF) jamboree, and fact that he is a regular attendee is more than evident from a tweet he has posted, where he indicates a close correlation in his mind between month of January and ski-town where each year biggest political, ecomic and business leaders gar.
Anand Mahindra specifically says, "If it’s January it must be Davos. clear, ultra-clean blue skies are always a welcome bonus".

However, this isn't most remarkable aspect of what Anand Mahindra has shared. At last year's summit, it had been Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had headlined proceedings, delivering keyte speech at plenary session where he listed what he believes are challenges to humanity and told assembled world leaders about India's growth story.
In 2019, however, despite PM Modi t attending, he is making his and India's presence felt, as per a picture of Main Congress Centre that Anand Mahindra has shared.

Anand Mahindra describes poster as larger than life, and he is absolutely right, as it makes an unmissable pitch for India.
poster's header reads: "Marching Towards a Trillion Dollar Digital Ecomy" and lists following:

- Bridging digital divide through high-speed broadband network
- Delivering techlogy-enabled quality education
- Enabling techlogy in agriculture to double farmers' income
poster is in-general under ambit of Digital India initiative.
most key part of poster, however, remains mention of Trillion dollar ecomy. India is primed to overtake U.K to become world's fifth largest ecomy this year, having surpassed France in 2018. That would leave only German ecomy bigger than India's among European Nations, a fact that would t have been lost in neighbouring Switzerland. Japan, China and US (in that order) are next for India.
