As discussions around Budget 2026 gather momentum, industry leaders are focusing less on incentives and more on policy certainty that can support sustainable growth. In an industry feature, Senthil Kumar Hariram, Founder and Managing Director, FTA Global, shared his perspective on the expectations from the upcoming budget.
He highlighted that businesses today operate in a rapidly evolving environment shaped by AI, digital transformation, and changing consumer behaviour. In such a landscape, long-term policy clarity can be more valuable than short-term benefits, enabling organisations to plan investments with greater confidence.
According to Senthil, the focus should be on creating an ecosystem that encourages innovation, digital adoption, and skill development. Consistent policies can help businesses allocate resources more effectively and accelerate growth across emerging sectors.
He also pointed out that as marketing and technology become increasingly interconnected, organisations need a stable regulatory environment to invest in new capabilities, talent, and AI-driven solutions.
The discussion underscores the growing industry sentiment that predictable policy frameworks are essential for fostering innovation, attracting investment, and enabling long-term business growth.
