A warm welcome to Ajit Pawar ji and all the guests who have come here at WAVES 2025. Prime Minister ji, Modi ji, sorry, my heart is beating very fast (heartbeat bohot tez chal rahi hai) as I am saying something for the first time in front of you. So, I will try my best to maintain the decorum here. And if anything goes wrong, please forgive me. WAVES, it’s founded by four pillars: Creativity, Innovation, Collaboration and Inclusion
