During the conversation, the president of the confederation, Agarwal, stated that the private sector's morale should be boosted in order to keep the economy operating in recession. He emphasized the importance of good budget execution, saying that new industrial zones should be fostered through public-private partnerships, and PPAs for hydropower projects should be established.

Chairman Agarwal further advocated that indigenous goods be made mandatory in consumer goods used by government and public institutions, the army, and the police in order to promote indigenous goods, and that information technology, education, health, and skill development be given high importance.
