  • Brilliant all-star cast

    Ep 500 was a celebration of amazing journalists doing amazing things. Great camaraderie, deep respect for each other. Nice to get a ringside view of the process.

    I’d recommend videotaping and uploading as well. It may be audio but video complements it well.

India's Food Regulator Is Done Being Quiet
Q: So, can you give me a front-row view on how the regulations are playing out on the ground?
Punhani says 99% of businesses comply after receiving a notice. He adds that publicizing enforcement helps consumers recognize misleading claims and decide whether to buy a product.
India's Food Regulator Is Done Being Quiet
Q: So what was the thought process when you took over like last year?
Punhani says he prioritized giving states a leading role in enforcement because most licenses are handled by state governments, which have the local food safety officers and other enforcement machinery.
Blackstone’s Next $50 Billion: Why Jonathan Gray Is Betting on India
Q: When you look at India today, how does the firm view the Indian economy in the medium term and in the long term in terms of its prospects?
Gray says near-term sentiment has been weakened by energy costs, pressure on IT services valuations and previously high market multiples. He remains positive about India's long-term growth, citing its young population, pro-growth government, infrastructure investment, technology talent and rising middle class.
Blackstone’s Next $50 Billion: Why Jonathan Gray Is Betting on India
Q: From your perch, what are the two causes for concern about the global economy, and what are two causes for optimism?
Gray names wars and rising capital costs, including higher interest rates and AI-related demand for capital, as concerns. He points to continued economic momentum and AI-driven productivity as reasons for optimism.
Explaining the RBI’s Rupee Rescue Mission
Q: What does the NDF market really achieve?
Non-deliverable forwards let participants take positions on the rupee offshore, settling in dollars. Ghosh explains that offshore trades can affect the onshore exchange rate when banks sell in the NDF market and buy dollars locally, creating onshore demand.
