Original sentence:

Today, a billion Indians are dreaming big. And we’re here to make sure every one of those dreams comes true

 

I tried to write in different ways as follows but maintaining the essence of the sentence kindly tell me if these sentences are right]

a. Today, a billion Indians are dreaming big. We’re here to make sure it comes true

b. Today, a billion Indians are dreaming big. We’re here to transform it into reality

c. Today, a billion Indians are dreaming big. And we’re here to make sure everyone’s dream comes true

 Hi Creativeguru

I don't like the use of the word 'it' in sentences (a) and (b). 

Sentence (c) is better, but "everyone" doesn't necessarily refer only to Indians.  In the context, people will probably understand 'everyone' as a reference to Indians, however.
