The RBI’s 25-basis-point rate cut is its first in five years—but is it enough?

Professor Prasanna Tantri (Indian School of Business), believes it’s overdue and too small to make a real impact. Worse, he argues that the RBI’s inflation expectations data is flawed, calling its 10% projection “unrealistic.”

In the latest conversation with Prasanna Tantri on "What This Means" podcast, he also critiques MSME credit guarantees, tax policies, and India’s growing nuclear power ambitions.

And what about the PM Internship Scheme? A great idea, he says—but only if executed well.
