The greying country: Will India’s rising senior population power a silver economy, or become a big strain?

The article first appeared in The Economic Times on November 9, 2025.

The share of the elderly in India’s population is projected to rise from 8.6% in 2011 to 19.5% (around 319 million) by 2050, according to the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. If one expands the lens to include adults aged 45 and above, they will account for nearly 40% of the population— an estimated 655 million people by 2050. Notably, the 45-64 age group is globally recognised as the cohort with the highest net worth...

Bihar

The 1st Republic, the lost Republic

The article first appeared in Business Standard on November 8, 2025.

Bihar, now voting to elect its 18th state Assembly, says with pride that democracy was born here. That’s why Prime Minister Narendra Modi says that India is the mother of democracy. 
A signboard on the highway as you approach Bihar’s Vaishali district reads: “Welcome to the First Republic in the World.” This is no folklore. There is plenty of recorded history, rock edicts, and academic writing affirming this. For a refresher, you can swing by Patna’s spectacular museum. 
Democracy, the idea of a republic where each individual has a voice and a choice....

The great tech job reset

The article first appeared in Business Standard on November 5, 2025. The process is almost robotic. The office entry badge is disabled and laptop access denied before the final email from HR: 'You were good but no longer required. A courier will deliver your belongings.' The sentiment is exaggerated here, but for thousands of employees across the global tech industry, it rings kind of true  - its a new automated way of getting a pink slip...

UPI debuts in Qatar, boosts remittances for expats

The article first appeared in The Economic Times on October 8, 2025. India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has officially launched in Qatar, expanding beyond select airport duty-free shops to all retail outlets. This move significantly benefits the 830,000 Indian expatriates in Qatar, facilitating faster remittances and reduced transaction costs.

Trump card: Why India must woo AI superstars like Meta does

The article first appeared in The Times of India on October 26, 2025.

India has a rare chance to lure top talent. But to attract them, it needs more than policies — it needs freedom, ambition, and world-class ecosystems
Human ingenuity has always driven great leaps in progress. The energy revolution following the discovery of oil was inconceivable without scientific insight, just as the industrial revolution depended on breakthroughs that culminated in the steam engine. Today, with the rise of AI and automation, the returns to human intellect have only intensified.
Historically, regions that clustered hard-working, creative, and ambitious individuals have achieved sustained high growth: Western Europe during the Enlightenment, the US through much of the 20th and 21st centuries, and more recently, parts of China. Today, India has a rare opening created by the Trump administration’s curbs on high-skilled immigration....
