Addressing Regional Imbalances: Bery acknowledged the stark disparities in development between northern and southern regions of India, emphasizing the need for equitable growth and development across the country. Managing Climate Change and Energy Transition: Recognizing the global urgency of combating climate change, he stressed the importance of India's role in managing this crisis and transitioning to cleaner and sustainable energy sources.

Managing Growth of Cities: With rapid urbanization, Bery highlighted the necessity of effectively managing the growth of cities to ensure sustainable development and improved quality of life for urban populations.

Adapting to Disruptive Technologies: Suman Bery underscored the need for India to embrace and adapt to disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

He also noted, "India's own growth will change the global economic and geopolitical order already under considerable stress, and we will see this in the G-20 summit."
