Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani shared a video message, calling PM Modi an "Avatar Purush" sent by God to lead India. Ambani extended his felicitations on behalf of the entire business community, the Reliance family, and his own family, wishing for Modi ji’s continued service as India approaches its centenary. He highlighted Modi’s tireless work ethic, noting how he transformed Gujarat into an economic hub and is now steering India toward global prominence.
Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra praised the Prime Minister’s visible dedication on social media, wishing him continued health and success in achieving his goals.

Other industry leaders also conveyed their admiration. Uday Kotak of Kotak Mahindra Bank highlighted Modi’s blend of vision, execution, curiosity, and humility. Sanjiv Goenka emphasized the Prime Minister’s round-the-clock dedication and intellect, while former Infosys leader Mohandas Pai credited him with transformational leadership that lifted millions out of poverty.
