He said the State's vision is not just about GDP growth, but 'creating jobs, empowering youths, and advancing social justice'. He assured the investors and entrepreneurs of all support from the State government. 'Once you are here with us, you will feel that Odisha is your second home. You will find a sense of belongingness here. Together, we can make Odisha the entrepreneurial capital of eastern India, and truly realise the vision of Purvodaya — the rise of the East,' Majhi said, while addressing the session. The event brought together entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and innovators from across India and overseas to exchange ideas, forge collaborations and explore opportunities in emerging sectors.
