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....

Inside India’s race for the GI tag
The article first appeared in The Hindu on October 29, 2025.
Krishan Kumar’s day starts early. At 5 a.m., the block printer from Kaladera in Rajasthan is up washing yards of cotton fabric to remove impurities. He then mixes dabu, a paste made from black clay, lime and acacia gum, to use in the ancient mud-resist printing technique that five generations of his family have been following.
As the sun moves across the sky, he sets up his printing table and proceeds to dip hand-carved wooden blocks featuring local flora and fauna into the paste to print patterns on the cloth. Hours later, after a quick stop for lunch, he dyes the fabric in large vats; the natural dyes used include the popular indigo with its deep blue colour. Depending on the complexity of the print, he goes over it several times with paste and dye...

From Thorthu to Gamcha: How desi towels are weaving their way back into modern homes
The article first appeared in The Economic Times on October 25, 2025.
Traditional Indian towels, like Kerala's thorthu and Bihar's gamcha, are experiencing a resurgence. These utilitarian textiles, rich in cultural significance and local materiality, are being embraced for their practicality and sustainability. A design rethink and better storytelling are helping these 'desi' towels reclaim their space in the modern market...

The article first appeared in Mint on October 19, 2025.
Indian tourists who are planning to visit Japan will soon be able to make digital payments in the foreign country using their Unified Payments Interface (UPI) systems, as the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has signed an MoU with NTT DATA, a digital business and technology services firm.

Immigration and the politics of fear
The article first appeared in The Hindu on October 23, 2025.
At the UN General Assembly last month, U.S. President Donald Trump harangued European leaders saying, “It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders... Your countries are going to hell.” It was an explicit export of his anti-immigrant ideas to the continent that his Scottish mother had departed as an immigrant to the U.S.
Immigration has long been a fraught subject in the U.K., with waves of anti-immigrant sentiment fanned by the far right, be it Enoch Powell’s incendiary ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech of 1968, the National Front’s activism of the 1970s, or the ‘Take Back Control’ rhetoric of the Brexit debates of the mid 2010s. However, Mr. Trump’s speech marks a turning point: conversations about immigration have gone from decrying illegal or irregular immigration to denouncing legal migration. The focus has shifted from a state’s ability to absorb immigrants to nativist concerns about culture and heritage, dressed up as ‘integration’...

Rajesh Nambiar remains confident as AI, Trump test India’s tech sector
The article first appeared in Business Standard on October 21, 2025.
Iti s a busy afternoonat the Trident’s 022 restaurant in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex. The steady clink of cutlery and the muted hum of business lunches form the backdrop as Rajesh Nambiar slides into a corner table. The choice of venue is pure convenience: Nambiar, president of the National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom), which represents India’s tech industry, has a meeting with the Maharashtra chief minister. I, too, am here after an appointment in the neighbourhood...
