    As the Brexit deadline looms, all options are on the table. But British Prime Minister Theresa May should be selling her deal to the British public by also leveraging the existing technology and economic cooperation agreements her government signed with India last year.

        2020-03-24T09:23:09+00:00March 10th, 2019|2019, UK Edition – March 2019|

        Environmental experts trace the journey to transforming nitrogen pollution for a cleaner circular economy across South Asia. There is something quite bizarre about nitrogen. For it is almost everywhere and yet almost invisible to the society at large. Consider the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established by the UN to be reached by 2030.

              Our strategic expert traces the origins of the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan and weighs up some distant hope of improvement in relations between the South Asian neighbours.

Sadly, the impasse between India and Pakistan finds supporters in both countries. The pre-eminent position [...]

Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. People in the Western world are well aware of the story of Roman Emperor Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
