Started this today. Unputdownable! The sheer relatability of it. The "tour" of the cities is not a dry narration of dates & times but a visceral glimpse into the "feel" of having lived there, then.
Books like these make you fall in love with history. OUR history! #History
Over the last six months, more than 100 manufacturers, contractors and system integrators have sat across the table from us to talk through Insurance Surety Bonds.
The questions they ask tell you more about where this market actually is than any industry report could.
ECLGS 5.0 is live and if your business has been hit by the West Asia crisis, this is worth reading carefully. Here is exactly what it offers and how to access it.

@CoalMinistry has formally incorporated Insurance Surety Bonds into the Coal Blocks Allocation Rules, 2026, making them a valid alternative to BGs for bid and performance security. Mineral Auction Amendment Rules, 2026 have extended the same to the mines sector simultaneously.
Resilience in a crisis needs systems that free up capital, not lock it away. When working capital gets stuck in guarantees, businesses feel every external shock harder. Surety bonds fix that. Keeping capital moving is what Atmanirbhar Bharat looks like on the ground.
250+ industries at #NorthTechSymposium2026, startups, MSMEs, DPSUs, all in one room. Defence procurement opening up to a wider supplier base is one of the most consequential shifts happening in Indian industry right now. The ecosystem is ready for it.
One third of India's general insurers have entered the surety market. For a line of business that did not exist here three years ago, that is real progress. But two thirds have not moved yet and the reason is more interesting than you would think.
The article is worth reading in full. 12x GWP growth in 18 months, $150M market today, $7B projected over the next five to seven years. 👉 https://t.co/HHMIwek6ol
@rein_asia ran a feature on India's surety market in March and pulled from our white paper to build the analysis. They write for chief underwriters and reinsurance professionals across Asia. Being cited there was not something we planned. Flattering and humbling in equal measure.
₹12.2 lakh crore in public capex. GeM at ₹5.4 lakh crore in procurement. Defence budgets expanding. MSMEs are going to carry a large share of executing India's ambition. Last November we asked one question: is the trust infrastructure ready for that?
When the leader of India's credit bureau industry says surety bonds are the missing piece, you listen. Shri Sachin Seth from CRIF flew in from Mumbai for our closing session and walked in with one of the sharpest takes of the evening.
The Ministry of Power just made surety bonds official across India's entire power procurement framework.
Earlier this month, a ministry directive formally placed Insurance Surety Bonds on equal footing with bank guarantees for both bid security and performance security.
We started 2026 by getting the whole axiTrust team together for the first time. 25 people, different cities, one place! The invite was straight out of Game of Thrones. Just one honest question to the room: what do you actually believe axiTrust should stand for?
Bank Guarantees built trust in India's supply chains when trust was scarce. They protected buyers and kept contracting ecosystems honest. That foundation matters deeply. But India has grown, and the system around BGs has not scaled at the same pace. 🧵
India has ~₹15 lakh crore immobilised in guarantees. That is capital sitting still while ambitions keep growing. We researched what unlocking even a fraction of that means for MSMEs and for India's bigger economic goals. The findings are worth a read. 👉 https://t.co/GXsbjL1j2f
