About this episode

The episode explores India's economic growth amidst rising unemployment and the impact of AI on the job market.

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 🎙️…
