    India's Next Growth Chapter? | Teaser Ep 53

    6.4% growth. That's the IMF's number for India this year, enough to keep it among the fastest-growing major economies on earth, even as the rest of the world wobbles through uncertainty. But growth numbers don't tell you who's working. And that's where the story gets complicated. Unemployment is rising. AI is rewriting the rules of what a job even is. So, the question isn't whether India will grow it's what will power that growth, and who gets to be part of it. Episode 53 of India: A Story in the Making goes looking for answers. Is AI the opportunity of a generation for India or the disruption that arrives before the safety nets do? Which sectors carry the next phase of growth and which ones just look good on paper? And can India's young population still be called its greatest asset, or does that story need rewriting too? In conversation: · Tim Willasey-Wilsey, Visiting Professor at King's College London and former British diplomat. · Vee Bharkhada, Insolvency Expert at NBR, London. Recorded during Idea for India Week. With thanks to Bridge India for making the conversation possible. Episode 53 out tomorrow. 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@loveenatandonproductions 🎙️ Podcast – Smart Link: https://bingepods.com/podcast/podcast-rn7moe 💬 Join Our Discord Community: https://discord.gg/p2UYt9uV5d Learn more about your ad choices.

    CAN INDIA STAY NEUTRAL? | Ep 52

    Hopes and deals aside, the US–Iran crisis continues and so does the global reshuffling of alliances. In a fragmented world, where rivals compete but still depend on each other, countries are having to rethink where they stand. India has chosen its own path from non-alignment to multi-alignment. But can it continue to balance competing powers while protecting its own interests? On India: A Story in the Making, we explore the new world order with two perspectives: Dr John Hemmings, looking from the outside in, as a geopolitical and security expert.

    High Five with Sir Vince Cable | Eclipsing the West | Ep 47

    "I could smell India before I could see it," a dear British friend told me after his first visit. It made me laugh then think. To outsiders, India can feel like a sensory ambush: colour, noise, chaos, and contradiction arriving all at once. How does anything get done here? It's one of the sharpest threads running through this candid High Five with Sir Vince Cable: Episode 47: Eclipsing the West. We get into what the world consistently gets wrong about India, whether Britain still nurses a colonial hangover specially in the corridors of Westminster, the unfinished business of Brexit, and a shifting world order that nobody fully understand yet. Oh, and which dance best describes geopolitics today? You'll want to stay for that one.

    Names That Built India | Ep 51

    What is your name story? And what is the name story of India? Shakespeare asked, “What’s in a name?” For an Indian, the answer may be-everything. A name can carry faith, family, region, memory, aspiration, love, and the dreams parents quietly place in their child’s future. Believe it or not, Ram and Lakshmi are among India’s all-time favourite names since Independence. But why? Why did names like Rahul, Anil, Sunil, Pooja, and Rohit rise, return and remain across decades? And what do these names reveal about India’s journey and the hopes, emotions, and imagination of Indians through time? That’s exactly what Vivek Desai, entrepreneur, and co-founder of iMeUsWe, and his team set out to discover sifting through 1.6 billion public records to trace Indian name trends from 1947 to 2025, decade by decade. What emerges is more than a name report. It is India’s story, name by name, a living map of faith, cinema, cricket, migration, family pride, social change, and modern aspiration. We shot this interview at Vivek’s London home, where another beautiful story unfolds. He doesn’t only collect names. He collects moments that matter from a passion that brings Indians together across the globe-cricket. From a T20 World Cup-winning ball to a shirt signed by Virat Kohli, and bats used by cricketing icons, this is India’s public memory, preserved as touchstones to a country he carries with love. Watch this episode. It may make you look closer at your own name, your family history, and the nation of stories we call India. And it will also make you relive some unforgettable milestones from Indian cricket.
