Big Danish Businesses Hail Govt Economic Reforms

Speaking to news agency ANI, Jorgen Mads Clausen, chairman of the board of directors at Danfoss said that under the PM Modi-led government bureaucratic hindrances have stopped increasing the ease of business. “I think these economic reforms in India are paving the way for big developments because, in the past, there were so many bureaucratic hindrances to big developments but it’s getting better,” Clausen said.

Clausen also attended the India-Denmark Business Forum, held with the attendance of top business leaders from India and Denmark, in the presence of PM Modi and Danish PM Frederiksen.

Jens-Peter Saul, President and CEO of Ramboll Group, expressed his admiration for PM Modi’s leadership in the area of green growth. PM Modi asked Danish businesses to invest in India. “Looking at India’s reforms and investment opportunities, I can say that those who don’t invest in our nation will certainly miss out,” PM Modi said using the popular social media term FOMO which stands for ‘fear of missing out’.
