Every Indian over 30 has 5 things wrong with their body right now. They happened so slowly nobody noticed when they started.

→ Constipation that shows up 3-4 mornings a week
→ Waking up between 3-5 AM at least twice a week
→ Hair on the pillow he stopped counting
→ Legs and back stiff for the first 20 minutes of the day
→ A face that looks tired in every photo, even after 8 hours of sleep

You've spent ₹15,000 fixing them separately. None of it worked.

Here's what's actually happening, and how to fix all 5 free, today:

🚨 #ExpressInvestigation | The Union Minister of State for Agriculture Bhagirath Choudhary received a ₹99.03 lakh subsidy for a commercial cucumber farming project under a scheme run by the ministry he serves in.

While the final approval was granted by an NHB project approval committee that does not include the minister, Choudhary is the ex-officio Vice-President of the NHB board that oversees its functioning.

The project, worth ₹1.99 crore, was among 467 approved under the scheme in 2025.

I think India has completely misread the biggest economic shift of the last decade.

Unfortunately the Government of India has failed. Not marginally. Not partially. It has failed in a big way.

For years we have been told that India is the fastest-growing large economy in the world. That our demographics are unmatched. That our consumption story is intact. That global investors cannot ignore us.

Yet look at what has actually happened.

Over the last 4–5 years the world witnessed one of the biggest reallocations of capital in modern history.

Trillions of dollars moved.

The US attracted capital into AI. Taiwan became the semiconductor capital of the world. South Korea became a key beneficiary of the memory and AI boom. Vietnam emerged as a manufacturing destination. Singapore strengthened its position as Asia's capital hub. UAE became a magnet for global entrepreneurs and family offices.

And India?

India largely watched from the sidelines while continuing to sell the same consumption story.

The numbers tell the story.

Net FDI inflows into India have fallen sharply from their peak years.

Private equity activity has slowed materially.

Venture capital funding is a fraction of what it was during the 2021 cycle.

Foreign investors have been net sellers for prolonged periods.

And despite all this there seems to be very little introspection within the system..

Instead every explanation sounds familiar.

"It's a global issue."
"It's temporary."
"It's an AI bubble."
"It's because of interest rates."

At some point we need to stop explaining away reality.

Capital does not care about narratives.

Capital follows opportunity.

And we failed to create enough of it.

China built manufacturing ecosystems that are still decades ahead of us. America built the world's most powerful innovation engine. Taiwan built the semiconductor backbone of the digital economy.

India built compliance.

Ask any foreign investor.

They worry about:

* tax uncertainty
* regulatory complexity
* currency depreciation
* capital movement restrictions
* compliance burden
* endless approvals

These are not ideological issues. These are execution failures.

What makes this even more worrying is that India continues to depend heavily on a consumption-led growth model.

But where does that consumption come from?

A large part comes from:

* salaried professionals
* IT employees
* financial services
* real estate-linked employment
* urban middle class spending

Now look at what AI is doing.

Whether people like it or not this is no longer a passing theme.

It is already reshaping hiring.

It is already reshaping productivity.

It is already changing how businesses think about incremental headcount.

If India misses this wave as well then the consequences will not be limited to the IT sector.

The ripple effects could hit:

* housing demand
* automobiles
* travel
* entertainment
* premium consumption
* retail spending

The second-order impact may be larger than the first-order impact.

And yet where is the urgency?

Where is the national AI mission at scale?

Where are the world-class research incentives?

Where are the regulatory reforms to attract global capital?

Where is the accountability from bureaucrats who have repeatedly missed these shifts?

The most dangerous assumption being made today is that demographics will save India.

Demographics are not an advantage by default.

They are only an advantage if jobs are created faster than aspirations.

Otherwise demographics become pressure.

And pressure eventually becomes unrest.

The world is moving faster than at any point in modern history.

The uncomfortable truth is that India is not competing against its own past anymore.

India is competing against countries that are moving with far greater speed and urgency.

The next 3 years will decide whether India becomes a genuine economic superpower or remains a country endlessly talking about its potential.

Potential does not attract capital. Execution does.

My piece in @livemint today.

India faces 2 choices: Indian households blow up their savings, giving F2s minimal cost exits.

RBI blows up reserves, defending the Rupee, swapping SIP Rs into USD, giving F2s low cost exits.

Our projected import ( merch+ services) cover is just 6 months. Deep red zone.

Our projected BOP deficit is ~13% ( that's optimistic IMO) of current reserves. Even in 2008, it was just 8%.

So get the magnitude of the problem.

We can't fight this 2 front war. It's a ticket to the IMF.

Sensible choice: sacrifice the Stock Market. It never busts a nation.

FX crises always do.

Remember the 80s multiple Latam Tequila crises?

My reco:

RAISE taxation on MF investing.

Lower F2 new investment taxes.

( We used to have 0 tax on F2s and 20% on locals, in the 90s. We needed dollars then. We need dollars now. )

So:

Stock market crashes.

That's fine. F2s try selling but there are few willing buyers on the other side.

Selling into illiquidity always crashes prices.

But we don't lose USDs because quantum of selling absorbed will a fraction of today.

And at 30-40% lower prices, after a crash, the same selling F2s will become buyers.

I have seen this multiple times in my sell side life. " Market is cheap now": becomes the chatter in Manhattan after some champagne. " Let's go back in"

We saw $20 billion flow in 09-10.$ 10 billion in 13-14.

Each after a massive crash.

Crashes almost always trigger massive F2 inflows.

We must make this happen.

We simply can't give easy exits.

Exits must be made costly.

Even unviable.

That's the way it used to happen before.

I am prepared to endure the pain on my India holdings for a while.

Stock markets always come back in a year or two.

No currency ever regains the glory of its pre-crisis levels. Almost none.

Absorb this fact slowly.

Since March this year, I have put ~ Rs.200 cr into India.

I am fine to take pain on my holdings if it saves the country.

Are you, the Jain, the Gupta, the Patel, and millions others, prepared to do the same?

MF distributors? Asset Managers?

Are you prepared to let go your swarth for the country?

Because else, 12 months from now, we will be teetering at abyss' edge.

Forget about Indians going abroad and creating a nuisance. I mostly travel solo and usually stay in backpacker hostels like Zostel or GoStops. Lately, though, I have noticed something that is slowly ruining the whole hostel experience.

Groups of friends now book dorms instead of private rooms. And honestly, if you are travelling as a group and your plan is to spend the night drinking, chatting loudly, playing music, and hanging out with each other, why not just book a private room, a hotel, or an Airbnb? Instead, they check into dorms and treat the entire space as their personal hangout spot. Endless conversations late into the night, loud laughter, music, drinking in common areas, and complete disregard for the fact that there are other people around trying to sleep, work, read, or simply enjoy some quiet time.

When backpacking culture was still relatively new, there was an unwritten code. People socialised, made friends, and shared stories, but they were also mindful of the fact that they were sharing a space with strangers. The whole idea of a backpacker hostel was to create a comfortable environment where travellers, especially solo travellers, could meet people while still respecting each other’s peace. That culture seems to be fading away.

And honestly, I think this goes beyond hostels. It is part of a larger decline in civic sense and consideration for others. Somewhere along the way, we have become less aware of how our behaviour affects the people around us. Maybe this sounds like a small thing, but anyone who has spent enough time in hostels will understand. A dorm is a shared space. It works only when people remember that they are not the only ones in it.

And also I strongly believe there is a difference between a traveller and a tourist. A traveller adapts to the place and respects the people around them. A tourist expects the place to adapt to them. Sadly, more and more backpacker hostels today seem to be attracting the latter.
