Viksit Bharat 2047 Sets the Stage for India’s Next Phase of Global Economic Leadership

New Delhi [India], December 13: India is stepping into a decisive economic phase as it advances toward the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Achieving this ambitious goal requires more than intent—it calls for world-class governance, AI-driven capabilities, export-focused growth, globally aligned leadership, and resilient enterprises capable of competing on the global stage.

Marshall Ridge Consulting Ltd (MRC) was created with this urgency in mind. The firm stands on a simple conviction:
India needs next-generation, AI-driven, governance-centric consulting partners built on global standards — yet deeply aligned with India’s long-term interests.

MRC operates as a focused, founder-led, specialist firm, with a clear thesis and capability roadmap:
India-first in mission, global-grade in execution.

1. Why MRC Exists: Solving the Most Critical Enterprise Gaps

Despite India’s success with digital public infrastructure — UPI, ONDC, GSTN, FASTag — organisations continue to face three major structural gaps:

1. Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)

Still largely manual, fragmented, and reactive, leaving enterprises exposed in an increasingly regulated world.

2. AI Adoption

AI is widely discussed but rarely implemented at scale — and even more rarely in a safe, responsible, regulator-aligned manner.

3. Global Governance Maturity

Indian enterprises often struggle to transform operational capability into globally recognised, board-ready governance maturity.

MRC sits precisely at the intersection of
AI × GRC × ESG × Trade Intelligence × GCC Strategy × Leadership Development — a combination few firms globally operate in.

2. UK Registration, India-First Impact: Strategy Backed by National Interest

A frequently asked question is:
If MRC is committed to India, why is it registered in the UK?

The reasoning is strategic and aligned with India’s economic ambitions.

UK as Global Gateway

A UK entity provides:

• High trust and contracting credibility
• Access to global markets (UK, Europe, US, GCC)
• Alignment with mature legal and data-protection frameworks
• Preference in cross-border enterprise contracting

India as the Real Engine

All execution, capability building, and delivery are anchored in India:

• India-based delivery centres and teams
• AI R&D Labs built and run in India
• GRC, ESG, and Trade Intelligence projects executed from India
• Leadership development for Indian-origin global CXOs
• Foreign revenue flows directly into Indian jobs and taxation

The UK opens doors. India walks through them — and delivers.

This model strengthens India’s service exports, AI maturity, governance quality, leadership talent, and economic impact — all core elements of Viksit Bharat 2047.

3. MRC’s Strategic Capability Portfolio

MRC is being built as a multi-capability firm, specialising in AI-led governance, ESG, Trade Intelligence, GCC strategy, and leadership development.
