#UPICharges | This is a tax by another name and deliberate extortion by another name. How do you respond to that?

There are priorities that the government has been ignoring, and all of them require funding. Why should we be subsidising merchants? : @SMehrotra1, Senior Economist

End Of 'Free For All UPI' Era

The majority of Indians who are using UPI will not be affected by it. I don't understand what the issue is...: ＠ARanganathan72

Banks that are giving us credit cards all charge a rate that is much higher than what is being charged (in the case of UPI)...: ＠SMehrotra1

PM Modi: Celebrate The 7.8% Surge

Whenever India celebrates something or achieves something, the opposition acts like a crybaby, comes out with fake data and fake narratives, and tries to pull India down. This is the reality of the opposition today: @SidharthYadavIN

We've done better than we were fearing, for the obvious reason that oil prices have not risen to the levels we were all fearing. That's the reason why the economy has come out relatively unscathed: @SMehrotra1 tells @navikakumar

PM Modi: Celebrate The 7.8% Surge

We should be celebrating because we are the fastest-growing economy. We should be celebrating because we are a very stable economy. We should be celebrating because we have seen a 67% increase in per capita income in this country...-@SidharthYadavIN tells @navikakumar

Manufacturing's gross value added is still only 13%—down from 17% to 16%, 15%, 14% and now 13%. We have to wake up and smell the coffee: @SMehrotra1

Talking point: have economic ‘doomsdayers’ been proven wrong by GDP numbers? Has Indian economy shown resilience? Or do the numbers mask troubling ground realities? https://t.co/09GNxmTrWV @SMehrotra1 @kantisoumya @NileshShah68 @IndiaToday

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

Next you will call Prof @SMehrotra1 a ‘dimagi naxal’ @LloydMathias . You are perfectly entitled to disagree with his views but the snideness is uncalled for. Prof Mehrotra has done some valuable research on labour and employment, key areas of our times. My other two guests have been members of the PM’s Economic Advisory Council and had their own viewpoints which are also important to listen to . Can’t reduce a GDP debate to an echo chamber surely: let’s learn to listen to opinions other than our own without name calling . Have you ever met two economists who will interpret data identically? 😃
The good news? You seem to watch my show far more intently than other programmes. Lage Raho!👍

🇮🇳💡 #BTIndiaAt100 | "90% of our workforce is informal. How can we continue to live like this? We can’t call ourselves Viksit Bharat. In a viksit desh, you have to have social security for 95% of your workers, not a situation where 90% of your workers are informal. Half of our formal workforce consists of contract workers. This is not an acceptable situation," says Santosh Mehrotra (@SMehrotra1), Senior Economist, in a conversation with Shailendra Bhatnagar (@shail_bhatnagar), Chief Analyst & Editor - Markets, BTTV, and @surabhi_prasad, Economy Editor, @business_today Magazine.

🇮🇳💡 #BTIndiaAt100 | "If we are going to grow jobs, we cannot be dependent upon just growth in services. If we remain dependent upon GCCs, services exports and the growth in services, AI is not going to allow for the kind of job growth that we have seen in the past 20 years. At the same time, we don’t have a manufacturing strategy," says Santosh Mehrotra (@SMehrotra1), Senior Economist, in a conversation with Shailendra Bhatnagar (@shail_bhatnagar), Chief Analyst & Editor - Markets, BTTV, and @surabhi_prasad, Economy Editor, @business_today Magazine.

If India wants to become a manufacturing powerhouse and build trillion-dollar economies, can world-class infrastructure be created without difficult land-use choices?

Dr Santosh Mehrotra , Economist shares his views in conversation with @VikramOza on The Big Question

@SMehrotra1

[Vikram Oza @VikramOza]

#Parandur asks a larger question: Can India build the infrastructure it needs without treating productive farmland as the easiest land to acquire? Development & Agriculture shouldn’t be seen as opposites. Better planning must make room for both #Infrastructure #Development
