PM Modi, Trump, Putin and China Hold Exclusively Relevant Role in World Forum: KP Singh

India's rapidly growing economy, ranked third globally in four years' time, owes its success to visionary leadership, according to Kushal Pal Singh, Chairman Emeritus of DLF, India's largest real estate developer. In an exclusive interview with Moneycontrol, Singh attributes India's rising status to the country's strong leadership and change in global perception.

In his recently released book, 'Why the Heck Not?', KP Singh reminisces about DLF's remarkable journey through one of India's most ambitious real estate transformations. Singh praises Prime Minister Narendra Modi as one of the four top leaders globally that matter at the world level alongside Trump, Putin, and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The former chairman shares his vision for India's future, stating that the country will be transformed profoundly over the next 50 years. He underscores the importance of sustainable green buildings, effective urban infrastructure planning, and overcoming current challenges such as pollution in large cities like Delhi NCR.

Singh criticizes the existing poor urban infrastructure, calling it responsible for rising pollution and air quality issues. He advocates for drastic measures to improve master-planning and shifting from short-term thinking to long-term planning. He also believes that only a radical overhaul by Prime Minister Modi can correct India's urban planning woes.

DLF's transformation in the real estate sector over the years has been unprecedented, with most old builders either out of business or on bail. Singh credits DLF for demonstrating compliance with RERA law and ushering in a new era of responsible development.

Singh emphasizes that urban master planning must prioritize long-term objectives rather than short-term solutions and highlights the importance of climate change mitigation. He attributes India's success to visionary leaders like Modi who have the courage to take bold steps towards transformation.

The Chairman Emeritus also shares his mantra for future growth: 'think big, think 100 years ahead'.
