India is the 5th largest economy by GDP. However, we hold the 17th position in exports, hinting at an untapped potential waiting to be harnessed.

Read my piece in @bsindia where we delve into three essential pillars for fueling India's export ascent.

A recent @CSEP_Org working paper by Rakesh Mohan and @_DivyaSrin pushes back. Their argument is that the crisis wasn't primarily about bad lending. It was the predictable outcome of a policy architecture that made PSBs the only available channel for infra financing.

As infrastructure investment accelerates across emerging markets, the real challenge is not just mobilising private capital, but ensuring the institutional capacity to absorb it sustainably.

Rakesh Mohan & Divya Srinivasan call for more nuanced thinking about how to ensure the success of public-private partnerships. https://t.co/o5hzXPvLOi

@SamsungIndia My Galaxy S23 died minutes after your official software update. Service centre kept it for a week and now says “motherboard short” with no explanation. A flagship shouldn’t fail due to your update.

Pl provide a fair and transparent resolution.

Powerful testimony from steel industry entrepreneur navigating bankruptcy echoes findings in our research & @livemint op-ed.
We've long argued how global metal price crash in 2010s squeezed Indian metal firms' profits. ~30% of NPAs during 2010-16 tied to commodity price plunges.

[sphinx @protosphinx]

Starting 2010 China began dumping massive amounts of steel for a throwaway price. It bankrupted an entire generation of Indian SMEs. India still hasn’t recovered from that.

This is a real testimony but I know many more.

Please see this video.

[Divya Srinivasan @_DivyaSrin]

@livemint - Global metal prices & profitability of Indian firms in the sector are highly correlated.
- Prices started declining in 2011, leading to negative profitability.
- Things worsened post-2014 (read op-ed).
- Some firms could not withstand the large shock & defaulted on borrowings.

In their latest study, @mostlyeconmix & @_DivyaSrin analyse how a large decline in commodity prices can cause a prolonged twin balance-sheet crisis, an area that has not received enough attention in the existing literature.

[Abhishek Kumar @mostlyeconmix]

The Twin Balance Sheet Crisis of the 2010s caused a significant deceleration in GDP growth. This has been a matter of debate in India and outside India. This paper explores this crisis.
