As President of Assocham, he has the mandate of leading India’s oldest industry body to a position where it is seen as the thought-leader and champion of the corporate sector. Edited excerpts from an interview:The recent cut in corporate tax rate and other economic sops have brought cheer to the industry. The corporate tax cut is the single biggest reform in the last two decades and is no small achievement. One should understand that when the effective rate of corporate tax is slashed by close to 10 percentage points in one go to 25.17%, it is a huge cut. Coming to Assocham, where do you see the oldest industry body going from here?
