New Delhi [India], August 25 : Bharti Enterprises Founder and Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal on Friday said he expects the recommendations that were made at the B20 Summit in India will be picked up.
“G20 is a very important global decision-making, powerful body of the top 20 countries. B20 is a structure within G20 which is a feed-in mechanism of business recommendation into G20. So the work that B20 has done around the whole year under (Tata Sons Chairman and Chair B20) Chandrasekaran leadership and all of us combined with him have made certain very strong recommendations. I am hopeful some of them will be picked up,” Mittal told reporters today on the sidelines of the B20 summit.
“The work which we have done, …I really hope will get resonance in G20,” he said.

“So the idea is to create a much fairer world and one which is inclusive. Inclusivity has been one of the pillars on which the B20 has based a lot of their recommendations,” Munjal said.
On asked what were the suggestions made by various leaders, Munjal said, “I think B20 has been very well organized. There are some very practical, very constructive, very positive suggestions have been made by all the task forces here. We will examine them and take them to the G 20 and see how many of these suggestions we can take forward to the leaders.”
