Sahney expressed his views at one of the sessions during the Indian edition of World Economic Forum, which commenced on Tuesday in Gurgaon.

Co-chairing a session on ‘The New Collaborative Space: Future Scenarios for Civil Society, Business and Government Engagement in India’ during the three-day event, he said lines between civil society, business and government were blurring even as the three players need to work in synergy for an all inclusive and prosperous country.

Sahney emphasised on good governance and meaningful participation in policy formulation, its enforcement and implementation and earmarked several areas of joint participation, including food, social security transparency, public-private partnership in business and philanthropy.
