First in my bloodline to see a very senior journalist from a major news network call out the economic illiteracy in this entire GDP Debate & agenda peddling.
7 years back.
I scored 510 and my friend scored 388 in NEET.
I didnt get admission but my Friend who scored 388 got admission into MBBS.
Today he is writing on Instagram "Education System" is Unfair.
Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR:
Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help.
On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead.
He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows.
If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.
