The Stock market will rise, again

Rajeev Narayan For the domestic Indian investor watching lakhs disappear from a portfolio, this is no longer a market correction on a screen. It is a hard lesson in how global money, oil, interest rates and currencies can suddenly collide—and wipe out thousands of crores in paper wealth. There is a peculiar silence when a stock portfolio turns red. The numbers are still there; the shares are still there. Nothing has physically di...

India must scale up manufacturing to become unmissable

Rajeev Narayan For years, India has sold the world on the promise of its huge domestic market. But in a world of tariffs, disrupted supply chains and shifting alliances, size alone is not enough. India now needs to become a country global business cannot easily do without. There is something useful happening amid all the noise over India-US trade, tariffs and negotiations. India is beginning to think beyond the tariff itself. That matt...

Can India retain freedom not to choose sides amid US sanction threat

Rajeev Narayan BRICS has just demonstrated that countries with sharply divergent interests can still find common ground. Washington’s latest Russia sanctions bill raises a bigger question: how much room will countries retain to pursue independent economic and foreign-policy choices? The timing is suspicious, but it doesn’t make for a slam-dunk case. It does, however, beg a question worth some thought: BRICS has barely packe...

BRICS Summit demonstrated India's capacity to unite world amid wars

Rajeev Narayan India’s real BRICS achievement is not that it hosted an impressive gathering. It is that it showed the world that it can bring together countries that disagree profoundly—without choosing one camp itself, and while making its own interests count too. Just in itself, that is quite a feat. There was something quietly revealing about the BRICS guest list in New Delhi. China, Russia, Iran, the Gulf, Brazil, South...

India’s BRICS Dividend

India: Where things are happening 'now'

Rajeev Narayan India has always been a country that waited. Be it for trains, bank queues, government files, restaurant tables, project clearances or deliveries. Not anymore. Technology has done something unique to India: it has not just made the nation faster; it has made waiting intolerable. India is now a 10-minute country. But it wasn’t always like this. There was a time when ordering anything meant ordering it and forgetting...

Is India facing vagaries of weather?

Rajeev Narayan India is no longer dealing with too little rain, too much rain or rain arriving at the wrong time. What feels different now is a growing sense that the weather has become harder to read, and even extremes are becoming more consequential closer to home. India’s monsoon has now stopped behaving like one weather event, and started behaving like several. In Udalguri, on Assam’s northern edge, a single bridge coll...

AI sector is the next job creator in India

Rajeev Narayan There is a painful truth about artificial intelligence that India needs to concede. It is not leading the race. That frontier is elsewhere. The United States has the deepest pool of AI companies, capital and computing power. China has built its technological capabilities at extraordinary speed. Taiwan sits at the heart of the semiconductor ecosystem on which the revolution hinges. India has talent, ambition and a rapidly exp...

Missing jobs may spoil the India growth story

Rajeev Narayan India is building highways, semiconductor plants, data centres and digital platforms at remarkable speed. But the infrastructure its young population really needs most is much harder to come by: stable, adequately paid jobs that offer dignity and a secure future. Look around, and it is difficult to miss the evidence of raw economic ambition. Highways are expanding, airports are being modernised, manufacturing plants are ...

India at 80 must envision growth a bit differently

Rajeev Narayan India celebrates its 80th Independence Day on August 15, 2026. We have travelled a remarkable distance since 1947, but progress is more than military strength, infrastructure or economic growth. It is about the quality of life we create, the ideas we nurture and the society we build. On this milestone, the harder question may also be the more important one: Are we building the India we should? That India has grown is und...

Indians live longer but without financial preparedness

Rajeev Narayan India has added years to life, but not security to those years. As people live longer than ever before, retirement is quietly becoming India’s biggest financial and social challenge. It was once the final chapter of a career. Today, it may well be the longest chapter of life – and its most uncertain. On the first working day of every month, crores of Indian parents perform the same quiet ritual. Before the ne...

Ajit Doval motivates youth, keeps spotlight off himself

Rajeev Narayan When Ajit Doval spoke after receiving the Lokmanya Tilak National Award 2026, he did not dwell on the milestones that make him such an acclaimed Indian intelligence and security professional. Instead, he spoke of the 'window of opportunity' India enjoys today; urged the youth to work towards building a stronger nation. His words were characteristically understated, coming from a man who has spent six decades safeguar...

Ironically, online lies is a profitable business

Rajeev Narayan Fake news is no longer merely a social nuisance; it has evolved into a dark but profitable industry where algorithms, artificial intelligence and human psychology combine to monetise debauchery on an unprecedented scale. There was a time when seeing was believing. A photograph was evidence. A video clip was proof. A recorded voice settled an argument. Not anymore. Today, every image can be manipulated, every v...

Should India follow France in banning social media for kids

Rajeev Narayan France’s move to ban social media for children under 15 reflects a global shift. For India, the question is no longer about technology – it is about protecting childhood itself. The crucial point is no longer whether children should use technology; it is whether algorithms should shape young minds before children develop the judgment to question what they see online. For two decades, the world celebrate...

India offers trust and growth amid global geopolitical challenges

Rajeev Narayan Trade is no longer about markets alone. It is about trust too. As geopolitical fault lines redraw the global economic map, nations that inspire confidence – not just competitiveness – will shape the next era of prosperity. For India, this may very well be the defining economic opportunity of the 21st Century. India is among the world’s fastest-growing major economies, with the IMF projecting growth of o...

Is poor preparedness fading the charm of Indian Monsoon?

Rajeev Narayan There was a time when the arrival of the monsoons in India was announced not by mobile alerts or flashing TV tickers, but by the inimitable fragrance of wet earth. It was a season woven into India’s collective memory. Children floated paper boats through overflowing roadside drains. Families gathered with cups of steaming tea and plates of pakodas. Farmers looked skywards with gratitude. Rivers brimmed with life, reser...

Indians investing overseas in pursuit of dollars

Rajeev Narayan About $29 billion in overseas remittances, 6-7 per cent in Fixed Deposit gains, 8-per cent equity returns and 15-plus per cent foreign tech profits. India’s investors are chasing global dollar opportunities as the rupee faces sustained pressure and over 20 crore demat accounts reshape the financial landscape. Unmistakably, the Indian investor is going global. From retail investors in Mumbai to large corporate treas...

India at AI crossroads

Rajeev Narayan The world’s latest battle may have unfolded in the United States, but its echoes are being heard globally, including in India. When the Trump administration recently cornered AI firm Anthropic over its advanced ‘Frontier AI’ system, the move signalled a confrontation deeper than a dispute between a government and a tech firm. It underlined a new reality, that Artificial Intelligence is not merely a technolo...
