Which Way Go-eth The Global Economy?
More than half of 2025 is over and we’re almost about to enter the last quarter of the calendar year. It’s time to assess which way the global economy is headed because the last time I wrote about it, it was just after the IMF and World Bank Group Spring Meetings in the US in… Continue reading Which Way Go-eth The Global Economy?
Why The Indian Economy Needn’t Be Tarrified
A few days after Trump’s 50% reciprocal tariffs on India – including penalty for buying Russian oil and defence equipment - went into effect, the country announced its GDP numbers for Q1 of FY26, and did they surprise us all. It was almost like a rejoinder to Trump calling India “a dead economy”. But trade… Continue reading Why The Indian Economy Needn’t Be Tarrified

Now that he is back for his second term, he is doubling down on his unfinished agenda, of taking the… Continue reading What the Post Trump-Tariff World Economic Order Looks Like
Bolstering India’s Independence in Tariff Negotiations with US
It’s been six months and more since India had been anticipating increased tariffs on exports to the US in Trump’s new term as US president, and yet there was no reporting on it in the Indian news media, except to keep harping on the fact that India could attract 26% reciprocal tariffs. The Indian government… Continue reading Bolstering India’s Independence in Tariff Negotiations with US
Why Cities Are Harbingers of Change
The idea for this blog post was prompted by a photograph that someone had shared on Blue Sky Social – where I have only just joined – of a McDonalds eatery being gobbled by a large medieval gate in some city in Estonia, I think. I shared the image post on LinkedIn and X as… Continue reading Why Cities Are Harbingers of Change
HBR Book On Strategy Does It a Disservice
Reading HBR posts online on LinkedIn where I follow them, I was always quite disappointed by the kinds of subject matter and articles that were being shared. Being unemployed for decades now in India, I cannot afford to subscribe to the publication, so I browse and read the occasional free article whenever I find something… Continue reading HBR Book On Strategy Does It a Disservice
