With the treaty signed and the constitution drafted, the future of independent India was no longer a dream; it was a tangible project. Adav knew that political freedom meant little without the physical infrastructure to support a modern industrial nation. It was time to build, on a scale never before seen in India.
He launched the "Bharat Infrastructure Trust," a revolutionary public-private partnership. Using the immense profits accumulated by Bharat Corporation during the war years – profits that had been discreetly held in neutral banks and investment vehicles – Adav provided the foundational capital. The Trust invited private Indian enterprises (often quietly controlled by Bharat Corporation) and even foreign companies interested in investing in the new India, to participate, matching their investments with Trust funds. This leveraged capital allowed for unprecedented scale.
The projects were monumental: new, broader-gauge railway lines connecting major industrial hubs like Pune, Bombay, Calcutta, and emerging resource centers in the central provinces. He initiated the construction of massive hydroelectric power plants across the Himalayas and the Western Ghats, envisioned as the backbone of India's future electrical grid, powering factories and illuminating cities. Modern, deep-water port facilities began construction in Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta, capable of handling the increasing volume of international trade.
These projects were not just about infrastructure; they were also about human capital. Adav deliberately designed them to be labor-intensive, employing millions of Indians who were rapidly trained in construction, engineering, and various technical trades. The Codex helped him optimize labor flows and material sourcing, ensuring efficiency on a colossal scale. Men who had only known farming or manual labor were transformed into a vast, skilled workforce, ready to build the new India. Adav was not just constructing roads and dams; he was forging a nation of builders, laying the physical and human groundwork for an economic superpower.
