My colleague @kamini_gupta_ who is also co-investigator on our project @UKINDTradeTalk gave a great talk last week at @ChathamHouse alongside the Indian High Commissioner @VDoraiswami on India's economy, its enduring challenges, and prospects
Was great to speak alongside the High Commissioner @VDoraiswami @ChathamHouse on the Indian economy yesterday. I spoke about how making our workforce more inclusive, such as in the case of women, can unlock the value of our size and support our economic ambitions.

Chinese translation of our work on the electoral politics of health in India @LoknitiCSDS @olhe @CSEP_Org @KingsIndiaInst
印度对医疗系统的投资有所欠缺，然而大多数的选民却把健康视作很重要的问题。同时，医疗问题对选民的投票也起着至关重要的作用，因此政府和相关部门应对此事引起重视并采取行动。

During the recent COP 28, the role of India in the fight against climate change has been emphasized again. But will the country's potential materialise if coal remains its number one energy? @KingsIndiaInst @CarnegieIndia @ScPoResearch @CERI_SciencesPo indianexpress.com/article/op…

Closing the UK’s graduate route visa will hit Indian enrolment and UK growth, argues @arora_sanam of @NISAU_UK
bit.ly/3NlNkC2
ALT Quote from Sanam Arora’s article “Closing the UK’s graduate route will hit Indian enrolment and UK growth”. “I find it peculiar and disappointing that we treat students as numbers to cut, rather than as consumers propping up many of our towns – or humans with dreams and aspirations, or, frankly, exceptional talent that can choose to go to the US, or Canada or Germany or wherever else it wants. Indians are crucial to the success of Silicon Valley; the UK needs to enable them make a similarly transformational contribution here, too.”

Brilliant graph in this week’s Economist. How countries that shun Russian oil in fact purchase it through those that do not.
A brilliant piece by @KingsIndiaInst alumnus @pramit_b explaining the ambiguities of GDP numbers in general, and Indian GDP figures in particular 👇🏼
5 steps to cut through noise around upcoming GDP figures:
1) Apply error bands
2) Use wider error margins for AE/PE/Quarterly estimates
3) Use even bigger error margins for sectoral data
4) Cross-check with other indicators
5) Ignore pt-estimate forecasts

I argue that Rahul's disqualification, which was predictable & reflects the BJP's nervousness, may be a milestone: the ball is now in the court of the opposition, the judiciary - & in his own! @KingsIndiaInst @ScPoResearch @CarnegieIndia @i_montaigneEN
