🎙️Two Must Listens: Trump's Tariff & India's Reform Push

Dear Listeners,

In the latest episode of What This Means, we speak with Neelkanth Mishra, Chief Economist at Axis Bank, Head of Global Research at Axis Capital and member of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, about the Trump administration's tariff policies and their implications for India.

Mishra says US tariffs are just a negotiating tactic rather than economic realities. We should use the uncertainty to drive meaningful structural reforms. He also shares his insights and opinion on the impact of tariffs, the GST reform push, India’s jobs challenge, and his top three reform recommendations. Listen to the full episode here.

For our second story, here's an old pick — our episode with Ajay Srivastava, former Indian Trade Service officer, expert in trade policy and WTO/FTA negotiations, and founder of the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI).

Thanks for tuning in!
