In a world defined by volatility, two truths endure:

The need for clarity—and the desire for something real.

At The Founding, we guide investors, institutions, and governments to navigate the geopolitical and economic currents shaping Africa and the Gulf. We help our clients anticipate disruption, build resilient partnerships, and turn complexity into advantage.

Yet strategy alone is never enough.That’s why, through Aamanya, we also curate rare assets—emeralds, fine art, and cultural treasures—that hold their value when markets lose their memory.

Together, this approach blends foresight with tangibility. Narrative with proof. Vision with something you can hold in your hand.

If you are exploring ways to:
✅ Invest in Africa’s next decade of growth,
✅ Diversify into tangible, storied assets, or
✅ Build a legacy that outlasts cycles,

I’d welcome a conversation.

Let’s connect to explore how clarity and craft can protect what matters most.

४५० अब्ज डॉलर्सच्या जीडीपीसह महाराष्ट्र भारताचे आर्थिकदृष्ट्या अग्रेसर राज्य आहे.

Data released by the National Statistical Office shows that Gross Domestic Product rose 7.6% in July-September 2023, higher than 6.2% last year during the second quarter. It is powered by robust growth in manufacturing, construction and mining. Manufacturing, which has a nearly 19% weight in the economy, posted a nine-quarter high 13.9%. All this, despite global slowdown and adverse geopolitical situation. A very proud moment indeed for Bharat and every citizen.

India’s agriculture sector is undergoing remarkable growth, with a 3.5% annual increase in fruit and vegetable production from 2011-21, thriving dairy and livestock segments, and a shift towards a more diverse food basket. Embracing technology, including precision farming, IoT, AI, drones, and blockchain applications, is key to unearthing its potential, although agritech startups currently cover just 1% of agri GVA. The roadmap to success includes promoting digital inclusivity for small farmers, reducing post-harvest losses, leveraging drones for disease detection, and adopting blockchain for organic farming. Through public funding and technology integration, the government plays a significant role in cultivating a tech-driven future for Indian agriculture, ensuring sustainable growth and innovation.

I’m pleased to share that India's green industry aims to create 3.7 million jobs by FY25, adding to the existing 18.5 million positions. The TeamLease Digital report highlights the increasing demand for skills in renewable energy, environmental safety, and sustainability, with solar project managers and wind energy engineers in high demand. Companies like Larsen & Toubro are actively investing to achieve a 40% revenue share by FY26. MG Motor India is also growing its green workforce. The clean energy sector is expected to grow over 36% between FY24 and FY25, focusing on solar energy and climate change, with green hydrogen expanding at a 20% annual rate.

The art scene in India is on the rise, as seen through the success of Sotheby's South Asian Art division in March 2023. They achieved a significant milestone, gathering $22 million in bids, with 81% of lots exceeding their estimates. Maqbool Fida Husain's "Bulls" sold for $2.7 million (123 crores), and a Manjit Bawa masterpiece set a world record, selling for approximately 120 crores. The event exceeded expectations, reaching $9.9 million (181.3 crores). This thriving art market is attracting a new generation of collectors, with about 40% of buyers at Sotheby's Asian art auctions originating from India and South Asia. Female artists are also contributing to the diversity of the art market. It's a source of pride for India as more people appreciate its rich artistic heritage.

I’m delighted to share that the government is set to hand over 15,024 low-cost homes to economically weaker sections in Maharashtra's Solapur district. This marks the largest low-cost housing project in India, constructed by MHADA with significant support from the Centre's flagship housing programme, PMAY Urban. Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi is anticipated to visit next month for the official handover to the deserving beneficiaries, including various working groups. This step signifies progress in the creation of affordable housing!

It is heartening to see Indian auto component manufacturers gearing up for substantial investments of 716,750 crores in electric vehicle (EV) production, with 67 eligible firms set to benefit from production-linked incentives (PLI). These manufacturers must individually invest at least 250 crores, totaling a minimum of 216,750 crores collectively. The localisation of key EV components, like drivetrains and batteries, is in progress. The industry is pursuing ambitious growth despite uncertainties around pricier technologies like hydrogen and electric vehicles.

Indian IT giants like Wipro, Genpact, and Tech Mahindra are voluntarily incorporating ethical safeguards into their AI products due to the absence of AI regulations. Genpact conducts robustness tests and collaborates globally for AI/ML governance. Ethical AI is seen as crucial for building trust and enhancing relationships with stakeholders. Wipro focuses on privacy and equity, while Tech Mahindra monitors for bias and fairness. These companies are open to industry collaboration for setting standards. In July, major IT firms, including Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI, committed to voluntary safeguards in the US.

Manisha Girotra, CEO of Moelis India and a veteran in Indian investment banker, discusses the current state of India's economy and its appeal to foreign investors. Despite a slowdown in M&A activity in the first half of 2023, India's capital flow remains strong compared to global trends. India's valuations remain high, making it one of the world's most expensive markets. While Indian companies have reduced overseas acquisitions, domestic consolidation and inbound investments are on the rise. Positive momentum, economic growth, and regulatory improvements are attracting global investors to India, which is transitioning from being just a service hub to a manufacturing powerhouse with a burgeoning middle-class consumer base. India's unique growth potential is drawing foreign investors to its market.

India and Saudi Arabia have jointly decided to expedite the $100-billion investment pledged by Riyadh for various projects in India. Negotiations on the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will also be fast-tracked, along with discussions on trade in local currencies. These decisions emerged from the inaugural meeting of the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council, co-chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. A significant portion of this investment, $50 billion, is allocated for a refinery complex on India's west coast, while a joint task force will be formed to identify other areas for investment. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in strengthening the economic ties between the two nations.
