At a fireside chat with Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg, he said India's middle-class, which is about 50 percent of the nation's total number of households, will grow three to four percent per year.
"I firmly believe that in the next two decades, India will grow to be among the top three economies in the world," said Ambani, who heads oil-to-retail-to-telecom conglomerate Reliance Industries Ltd.
"And our per capita income will go from USD 1,800-2,000 per capita to USD 5,000 per capita," he further added.
Facebook and a lot of other companies and entrepreneurs in the world have a golden opportunity to be in India, to be part of this economic and social transformation that will accelerate in the coming decades, he added.
Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg stated, "India is a special country. India is an important country for us. Millions of people here use our products every day to stay in touch with friends and family. Whether it's a WhatsApp message, or a Facebook post, or photos on Instagram. And millions of small businesses across the country use WhatsApp business and Messenger to reach customers, manage orders, and grow their businesses. And in fact, we actually test some of our new features here first, before rolling them out globally."
