Energy security is built before a crisis, not during one.

How did India withstand the West Asia crisis while many economies faced severe energy shocks?

My latest article explains how strategic diplomacy, diversified energy sourcing, long-term planning, and whole-of-government coordination strengthened India's energy resilience.

Published today in @the_hindu.
I welcome your thoughts.
