India Inc Caught Between Slowdown and Innovation Inertia
This month and the previous one in the New Year, Indian companies have been reporting their quarterly earnings for Q3 FY25. They have been along expected lines in the sense that they are much more muted than in previous quarters and years. Much of this can be explained by the effect of the Covid pandemic… Continue reading India Inc Caught Between Slowdown and Innovation Inertia
India Needs to Pay Attention to its Neighbourhood
In recent months and years, India has been basking in the global spotlight. From the G20 presidency two years ago, to India’s overseas State visits to western countries where large trade and investment deals were signed, to India co-chairing the AI Summit in France recently, and intentions to host the next one in India, we… Continue reading India Needs to Pay Attention to its Neighbourhood
Weak Economic Growth, Big Plans on the Anvil
It’s been a long time since I last wrote on the UK and the EU economies, which was just around the time of their elections in 2024 and not since then have I considered how they’re faring. Of course, France had its own very consequential election soon after the EU elections, and the big one… Continue reading Weak Economic Growth, Big Plans on the Anvil

Creating a Climate Change Brand for the UNFCCC – Part I
I have begun the year by saying that 2025 ought to be the year for innovations, and my blog is celebrating 25 years of the 21st century which have really been all about innovations. So, how about I start with some innovations of my own? I had written at the end of last year a… Continue reading Creating a Climate Change Brand for the UNFCCC – Part I
Challenges For the Indian Economy in 2025
At the start of the new year as we wait for corporate earnings season to begin again, I thought it might be worth spending some time thinking about where the Indian economy is headed in 2025 and beyond. We tend to focus on headline GDP growth of the economy all the time, but rarely look… Continue reading Challenges For the Indian Economy in 2025
