    Trump’s Rambo diplomacy is unnecessary

    2020-08-20T07:06:30+00:00June 7th, 2019|India Inc News|

    In taking aim at India on trade, the US President is unnecessarily risking putting the hard-worked-on relationship into troubled waters, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. This is a circle that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have to square early in his second term in office – how to deal with a US administration that has sought to decouple the strategic and economic relationship with India, as it has done with many of America’s allies. The denial of preferential export facilities from India to the [...]

      2020-08-20T07:06:35+00:00May 31st, 2019|India Inc News|

      The shortlisted nominees for the Awards at the heart of UK-India Week 2019 reflect the true impact and growing pace of the winning partnership between the two countries, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Just as Modi 2.0 takes shape after an overwhelming mandate for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government in India, the UK is lumbering its way to settling on a new leader who will take a Brexit-worn country to the next phase of growth.

        Tackling India’s many fault lines

        2020-08-20T07:06:46+00:00May 17th, 2019|India Inc News|

        In tackling it’s many deep-rooted fault lines, India needs continuity, businesses need consistency, and the world needs stability, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Yesterday, India’s Opposition Congress Party President Rahul Gandhi tweeted what looked like a page from the online ‘Oxford English Dictionary’ and claimed a new word, Modilie – meaning “to constantly modify the truth”, had been added to the English language. It was obviously an attack on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who Gandhi has [...]

          Democracy Trumps Terror

          2020-08-20T07:06:51+00:00May 8th, 2019|2019, Global Edition – April 2019, India Inc News|

          The UN’s blacklisting of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist is another big win for India’s proactive diplomacy, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Who says democracies are ill-equipped to tackle global terror? The Narendra Modi government’s proactive diplomacy paid off big time when China removed its veto and allowed the United Nations to designate Pakistan-backed Jaish e-Mohammed (JEM) chief Masood Azhar a global terrorist. The US, the UK and France deserve a large part of the credit for this but it was the [...]

            Modi’s multilateral push gets another boost

            2020-08-20T07:06:59+00:00April 26th, 2019|India Inc News|

            Following in the footsteps of the International Solar Alliance, a new UN-backed multilateral organisation will be headquartered in New Delhi. Less flaunted but still another feather in Modi’s foreign policy cap, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Flipping through Indian newspapers, a report caught my eye: the Narendra Modi government had pledged almost $70 million for setting up the secretariat of the proposed Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) in New Delhi. It was carried by only one, [...]

              BJP Manifesto: Recognising the changing character of jobs

              2020-08-20T07:07:10+00:00April 10th, 2019|India Inc News|

              The changing character of jobs is a global phenomenon. The BJP’s election manifesto recognises these new realities in boosting economic productivity, writes India Inc. Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa. India’s opposition parties led by the Congress have been trying to corner the Narendra Modi government over reports appearing in sections of the media that seem to suggest high unemployment. These articles cite an alleged government report that is still not ready and a report by the Centre for Monitoring Indian [...]

                Millions of jobs lost in India… Really?

                2020-08-20T07:07:13+00:00March 28th, 2019|2019, Global Edition – March 2019, India Inc News|

                A dispassionate look at the facts reveals recent statistics on employment need to be balanced against over-hyped election rhetoric, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. “There are three kinds of lies – lies, damned lies and statistics.” Mark Twain popularised this saying, which he attributed to 19th century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. In this Indian election season, statistics are being bandied about by all sides, leaving many voters confused about the truth. Recently, a controversy has broken out over a report [...]

                  A nuclear bolstering of India-US ties

                  2020-08-20T07:07:19+00:00March 15th, 2019|India Inc News|

                  Enhanced civil nuclear cooperation with a deal for the US to set up six nuke reactors in India will help iron out wrinkles in bilateral trade relations, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. India and the US have agreed to set up six nuclear power reactors in the southern Indian coastal state of Andhra Pradesh. The transaction, involving the sale to India of six Westinghouse AP-1000 reactors, follows from the Indo-US Nuclear Deal signed in 2008. This development [...]

                    Isolating Pakistan: When neither trade nor aid work

                    2020-08-20T07:07:32+00:00February 22nd, 2019|India Inc News|

                    The Pulwama attack in Jammu & Kashmir must only serve to harden international resolve to push Pakistan to renounce terror as an instrument of state policy, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, aka MBS, earlier this week announced $20 billion fresh investments in Pakistan’s oil refining, mining and power generation sectors. In October last year, Riyadh had announced a $6-billion bailout for the near-bankrupt Pakistani exchequer, which included direct cash aid [...]
