🎙️Two Great Listens: Fixing Street Food Hygiene Problem & India's Specialty Chemical Story

🎧 Two Important Stories From The Week

Dear Listeners,

There's a new buzzword echoing through India’s manufacturing corridors. And no, it’s not IT, textiles, or even automobiles. It is speciality chemicals, the dark horse of Indian industry that's galloping into the global spotlight.

India currently holds 4 per cent of the global specialty chemicals market. China has 26 per cent. But according to projections, India is set to grow faster than China, Japan, and pretty much everyone else. But there are 3 fundamental problems that we need to overcome. What are they and how? Find out in this episode.

Our second story might be even more critical. It's about fixing the hygiene crisis in Indian street food — a problem that leads to 100 million foodborne illnesses and 12,000 deaths every year. That’s a $15 billion annual hit — not just in medical costs, but in lost productivity, deferred dreams, and lives cut short. Can it be solved? We break it down here.

Thanks for tuning in!
