Gadkari Model 👇

When Nitin Gadkari was asked what kind of business one should pursue in India in today's times, he suggested the following approach: Create a list of items that India imports from other countries and then produce and sell those very products in India.

Upon reviewing the list, our attention was drawn to wood pulp, in which India ranks as the third-largest importer globally. This pulp is used in the production of paper and tissues, and India heavily relies on the USA, China, and Sweden for its supply.

However, in the past two years, the global supply of wood pulp has been severely disrupted. Firstly, due to the outbreak of the pandemic, followed by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and finally, the energy crisis in Europe. These factors caused wood pulp prices to skyrocket in 2021, increasing by 25% to $250 per ton. Consequently, Indian paper companies raised their prices by 6-15%.

Now, let's explore some solutions to this problem. The first solution is to increase domestic wood pulp production, and the second is to look into alternatives. These alternatives include:

1] Bagasse: This is a byproduct of sugarcane and can be used for making paper.
2] Straws: Agricultural byproducts such as straw can also serve as a viable source.
3] Cotton: While a more expensive solution, cotton can produce high-quality paper.

Mr. Gadkari's visionary approach to infrastructure development, sustainable transportation, and his unwavering commitment to transforming India's road network. As one of the key architects behind numerous ambitious projects, he shares valuable insights on building world-class highways, promoting electric mobility, and implementing innovative solutions to tackle the challenges of urban congestion and pollutio
