Invincible Bharat 5.0: Dr. Preet Sandhuu’s Mission To Shape A Viksit Bharat 2047

As India looks ahead to its centenary of independence in 2047, the vision of a Viksit Bharat—a developed and high-income nation—is emerging as a collective aspiration. The dream is bold: a $30 trillion economy, a per capita income of $26,000, and the transformation of India into a global innovation powerhouse. But as Dr. Preet Sandhuu, Founder & Managing Director of AVPL International, emphasizes, these numbers tell only part of the story. “True progress will be defined not just by GDP growth, but by inclusive development that creates jobs, nurtures entrepreneurs, and equips our youth for the industries of tomorrow,” she says.

This philosophy is at the heart of Invincible Bharat 5.0, a nationwide movement spearheaded by Dr. Sandhuu. The initiative spans 20 states, aiming to ignite the spirit of self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and innovation among India’s youth. For her, this is more than a campaign—it’s a yatra (journey) that seeks to transform the country into a hub of future-ready skills, thriving startups, and robust job creation.

From Drones to Dreams: A Journey of Innovation

Dr. Sandhuu’s work through AVPL International has already placed her at the forefront of India’s drone revolution. The company has trained thousands of young professionals in cutting-edge drone technology, revolutionizing sectors from agriculture to infrastructure. Through Drone Planet, she has created a platform for awareness and global collaboration, positioning India as a leader in drone innovation.

Her entrepreneurial vision extends beyond technology. With Startup Stairs, she has been mentoring early-stage startups, connecting them to markets, mentors, and investors. “India doesn’t just need more startups, it needs stronger startups that can sustain and scale,” she notes, underlining the need for ecosystem-driven growth.

These initiatives together form the bedrock of Invincible Bharat 5.0—a mission that converges skill-building, innovation, and enterprise into a unified national growth story.

A Movement Beyond One Leader

Dr. Sandhuu insists that Invincible Bharat 5.0 is not her mission alone. She calls it a people’s movement. Universities shaping young talent, corporates driving innovation, policymakers enabling change, investors fueling ambition, and communities nurturing skills—all are invited to play a role in this transformative journey.

“The road to Viksit Bharat 2047 will be built through collaboration,” she emphasizes. “It is about uniting our human capital, entrepreneurial spirit, and technological capabilities into one unstoppable force.”

A Call to the Nation

For Dr. Sandhuu, Invincible Bharat 5.0 is both a roadmap and a rallying cry. It reflects her unwavering belief that India’s youth are not just participants in the growth story but the architects of a stronger, self-reliant, and truly invincible nation.

As she embarks on this journey across India, her message resonates deeply: “This is our moment to shape the India we want to gift to the next generation—an India that leads the world in economic strength, technological innovation, and in the opportunities it offers its people.”
