Quote By Mr Ankit Modi, Managing Director, Durakraft Extrusions
I have a number of expectations regarding budgets that relate directly to investment into new technology and research and development of the type of advanced production processes that will enhance the performance, strength, quality, and energy efficiency of uPVC profile products. The major policy initiative I propose is to implement a more sustainable manufacturing process, using a more automated manufacturing process and increasing the number of quality tests performed by the manufacturer on its products to ensure they comply with international standards. The direct benefits of this are to provide the manufacturer with funding directed toward training its workforce, establishing a collaborative supply chain, and promoting innovation in modular product designs that will ultimately reduce the cost of manufacturing and improve market competitiveness. We can provide high-quality, high-performance uPVC profiles to meet the demand for residential and commercial buildings in India while simultaneously supporting environmentally sustainable infrastructure efforts while providing ongoing economic development opportunities within the manufacturing sector through our prioritisation of R&D and environmentally responsible methods of production.
Quote By Mr Sandeep Singh, Founder, Rubystone Hospitality
My budgeting aims to enhance guest experiences as well as expand the hospitality industry responsibly with an emphasis on financial sustainability. To achieve this, we will invest strategically by upgrading guest rooms, wellness, food and beverage service and digital booking systems in order to increase overall customer satisfaction. Our policy includes creating and developing infrastructure that is energy-efficient and sustainable, which will provide guests with a greater level of comfort while helping to minimise their negative environmental impact. At the same time, we will also place an equal amount of emphasis on developing local talent, creating an atmosphere of service excellence, and creating long-term job opportunities for members of the guest's host communities. Ultimately, the combination of superior service combined with responsible hospitality growth provides the opportunity for hospitality to expand their clientele base and support local economies through providing an atmosphere of unique guest experiences across all properties.
Quote By Mr Rahul Ranjan, Managing Director, Mrig Sight Media
The tax reforms will also help to promote growth in all areas of marketing and communications through the expansion of creative talent; infrastructure for technology to support integrated branding, public relations and digital marketing approaches; and investment in analytics, automatic systems and performance tracking systems to produce measurable results for agencies that rely on data to communicate with their clients through the establishment of policies. To further support this growth in marketing and communications firms, policy priorities should provide support for the development of media planning, content creation and digital strategy. Additionally, by providing incentives for technology adoption/innovation, agencies will be able to provide more accurately and strategically focused campaigns. These efforts will enhance client visibility and audience engagement, as well as demonstrate a more concrete return on investment across multiple platforms for marketing and communications firms in the coming months.
Quote by Mr Dinesh Chandra Pandey, Shankar Fenestrations & Glasses
I believe that the budget should focus on supporting new technology development for producing glass, uPVC and aluminium doors/windows, as well as enhanced facade systems. Improvements in automation and precision engineering, as well as increased access to quality testing, can lead to increased global competitiveness and productivity for the industry. New technologies developed to improve durability, energy efficiency, and flexibility will also contribute to increased competitiveness. Finally, funding for research development, continuing education and sustainability will allow the continued development of innovative and efficient solutions for both residential and commercial applications throughout India.
Quote by Manish Mohta, Founder, Learning Spiral
The government has put forth a budget proposal to improve the efficiency of university admissions and counselling and evaluation processes through the use of advanced digital platforms and artificial intelligence technology. These new technologies can help automate processes so there will be less paper involved, allow for greater accuracy in evaluating applicants, and provide a fair and transparent way for students and universities to evaluate themselves against each other. The creation of innovative education technology (EdTech) applications and automation of educational workflows, the immediate and continual monitoring of student applications, and the use of data analytics to provide them with actionable insights for improved decisional capabilities should be at the forefront of government policy planning. Investment in an adequate level of secure digital resources and protection of the data used in these resources is also essential to the success of such technologies. As a result of supporting the development of smart educational systems, there will be increased efficiency, building of trust, and improved learning outcomes for students and universities, thereby creating a more accessible, reliable, and student-centred higher education system across Canada.

The Development of Regions to Promote Recreational Spaces, Health Facilities, and Student Engagement. Community Life and Wellness will enhance an active, balanced lifestyle through increased investment and improved safety and wellness infrastructure for students in their ability to focus on their study, increase their academic performance and enjoy an improved quality of life within a healthy, enriched campus experience.
Quote By Dr Tanya Singh, Dean Academics, Noida International University
Artificial intelligence in education is rapidly transitioning from generative to agentic systems, and as a result, AI's role within education is quickly developing. As this change occurs, strong policy support along with larger budget commitments are necessary to support the infrastructure, research, and curriculum integration of AI throughout engineering, computer science, business analytics, and interdisciplinary fields. Funding should also provide for the establishment of AI labs, training for faculty members, scholarships for students, and collaborative research institutions. Additionally, EdTech needs to be provided tax incentives, lower GST for EdTech, and universal access to broadband internet service at an affordable rate. Further, the 2026 Budget should provide more support for the establishment of public-private partnerships, secure data centres, and AI testbeds in order to prepare Indian graduates to be globally competitive and innovation-ready.
Quote by Mr Swayamjeet Das, Co-Founder, Kovon
The global talent mobility and verified job platform efforts are to change how those looking for work abroad find opportunities and also to help provide an easy way to find international opportunities. To achieve my mission, I expect my budget to include a significant investment in technology that allows for the better credential verification of candidates, the training of candidates, and the development of transparent job matching systems in over 50 countries around the world. My top priority is to have a strong commitment to maintaining strict ethical recruitment standards by not charging candidates any hidden fees and providing complete support at each step of the process (i.e., before and after). In the future, Kovon will concentrate on building scalable global partners and providing efficient onboarding infrastructures which will enable them to deliver safe, high-quality international placements that fill workforce gaps while protecting the interests of both candidates and employers.
