    Shedding the incrementalism that has marked much of India’s reform programmes, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has gone the whole hog and bet on India’s intrinsic entrepreneurial spirit to pull the country out of its Covid-induced economic stupor and into the ranks of the world’s leading nations, writes India Inc Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa.

      Those who unleashed violence on India’s Republic Day have lost moral authority to speak on behalf of the country’s farmers.

        The broad bipartisan support for closer strategic and economic ties with India means that on the face of it Trump or Biden will be equally good (or bad) for India. However, with wider geo-political issues at stake and the huge influence that Indian American voters could have on the outcome in swing states, the race to the White House is far more important for India Inc. than ever before, writes India Inc Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa.

            By pressing ahead at this time with the privatisation of Air India and announcing that Non Resident Indians will be allowed to bid for and buy 100 per cent of India’s ailing national carrier, Modi is proving himself to be unabashed about continuing to walk the talk on economic reforms, writes India Inc. Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa.

              The 14th India-UK Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO) comes with all the promise of post-Brexit “Early Harvest Agreements” in the lead up to a full-fledged free trade agreement (FTA); but it is important that the momentum unleashed by ministers on both sides is revved up to top speed now, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa.

                He is China’s most powerful leader since Mao himself and probably doesn’t have any independent sounding board in the upper echelons of China’s party and government elite. This is blinding the Chinese President to the rising tide of global resentment against Beijing’s coercive diplomatic and military tactics, write India Inc Founder and CEO Manoj Ladwa.
