"This is a government that is fully willing to hear, fully willing to listen and fully willing to act," she added.
Emphasisng that exports play a key role in ensuring the success of the Make in India initiative, the minister assured the gathering that the government's "ease of doing business" measures will be extended to the export sector as well.
