    मैक्रो इकोनॉमी की मास्टर क्लास। Status of the Economy 2026 Explained ft. Narayan Ramachandran

    पिछले साल दूसरी मुद्राओं के सामने भारतीय रुपया कमज़ोर हुआ है। साथ ही भूराजनीतिक उथल पुथल के चलते भारतीय शेयर बाज़ार भी हिला हुआ है। तो ऐसे में क्यों न हमारी अर्थव्यवस्था का एक ब्यौरा लिया जाए? आज की पुलियाबाज़ी एक मास्टरक्लास है, जिसमें हमारे मेहमान नारायण रामचंद्र जी अलग अलग आर्थिक पहलूओं को संदर्भ सहित समझाते हैं। हमें तो बहुत कुछ सीखने को मिला है इस क्लास में, आप भी जुड़िये और कुछ ज्ञान बटोर लीजिये। पुलियाबाज़ी अच्छी लगे तो अपने दोस्तों और परिवार से शेयर ज़रूर करें। We discuss: * Should we be worried about Rupee depreciation? * Is a weaker Rupee better for India? * Understanding Inflation in India vs Developed Countries * Will FTAs help India? * Why is investment slow in India? * What is the point of friction? * What are the opportunities for India from the current geopolitics? * Making Sense of the Sensex * Prospects for India from the AI Shift * Understanding Government spending Please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.
