Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we delve into the Hudson Institute’s 2025 economic outlook for India — a nation poised to remain the fastest-growing major economy, yet grappling with deep-rooted structural challenges. Despite impressive GDP figures, India’s path to becoming a developed nation by 2047 demands sustained growth of 8% or more — a goal increasingly threatened by sluggish manufacturing, high food inflation, stagnant job creation, and a widening trade deficit.We explore why India’s reluctance to implement bold, systemic reforms may be holding it back, even as geopolitical shifts present new opportunities to emerge as a global economic leader. From foreign investment trends and political dynamics to the costs of trade protectionism and the promise of replacing China in global supply chains, this episode breaks down the key insights from the Hudson report and asks: Can India turn its growth potential into long-term prosperity?
