The skincare landscape in India has been significantly reshaped since the pandemic. Terms like serums, active ingredients, double cleansing, guasha tools, glass skin, and the Korean clear skin regime have become household names among skincare enthusiasts.

The ripple effect of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has stretched far beyond its epicenter, reaching as far as Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu -- India’s knitwear capital. Tiruppur, often dubbed ‘Dollar Town,’ is renowned for contributing over 50% to India’s knitwear exports. However, the city now faces a crisis. Rising energy costs, inflation, reduced Western consumption, and local challenges like insufficient government support and high yarn prices have taken a toll. Factories are closing, jobs are vanishing, and the city's once-bustling industry is grinding to a halt. Is this solely a Tiruppur issue or a broader industry problem? Can India achieve its ambitious $100 billion textile export target by 2030? Why is India’s textile industry losing to competitors like Bangladesh? Tune in to The Morning Brief podcast with host Dia Rekhi, M P Muthurathinam, President of Tiruppur Exporters and Manufacturer Association, Raja M Shanmugham, President of Tiruppur Exporters Association, and Neelesh Hundekari,  Partner in Consumer & Retail Practice at Kearney.

The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) proposed changes for project financing could significantly alter how infrastructure and real estate projects are funded. The central bank has suggested increasing the provisioning for all project-backed loans to enhance accountability and project viability. A recent government survey of 1,873 projects revealed substantial delays and cost overruns, highlighting the need for stricter regulations. Yet, the new guidelines have sparked debate among banks and companies, who argue that higher provisions could impact profitability and increase capital costs. With stakeholders invited to comment until June 15, host Anirban Chowdhury delves into whether these norms will ultimately benefit or hinder the sector. Tune in to The Morning Brief podcast for an in-depth analysis from Anil Gupta, head of financial sector ratings at ICRA, Shravan Sampath, a renewable energy sector professional, and ET’s Sangita Mehta.Check out the other interesting episodes like Polls On My Pod: Saturation States of Rajasthan & MP, Polls On My Pod: Muted Manipur & The Tamil Nadu Triangle, Arvind Kejriwal’s Arrest: An Opposition Shaken or Stirred?, Alliance Arithmetic: Decoding the Political Jigsaw of Lok Sabha Elections 2024, and more!You can follow Anirban Chowdhury on his social media: Twitter and LinkedinCatch the latest episode of ‘The Morning Brief’ on ET Play, The Economic Times Online, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, JioSaavn,  Amazon Music and Google Podcasts.
