Business tycoon and chairman of JSW Group Sajjan Jindal on Tuesday said that it is be the private sector, not the public sector, that will take India ahead because "ultimately what matters is accountability and profitability".

He made the remarks at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A) after inaugurating the JSW School of Public Policy's new building, a state-of-the-art multi-facility centre at IIMA's new campus.
