About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the West Asia conflict on India's economy and highlights key developments in tech manufacturing and the IT sector.

India’s economy is beginning to show visible strain as the prolonged West Asia conflict pushes the Eco Pulse index into contraction territory - layoffs are slowing housing demand and rising input costs are forcing brands to rethink pricing strategies. However, India remains central to global tech manufacturing strategies, with Asus doubling down on local production as part of broader supply chain diversification. Also inside: Zerodha’s rethink about its Zero1 content venture, the dip in IT sector sentiment following disappointing earnings and Fairfax’s advanced talks to pick up a significant stake in IIFL Capital. Tune in for all this and more.
