In the inaugural edition of The Big Picture for BasisPoint Insight, host Rakesh Khar sits down with top public intellectual and former NITI Aayog Vice Chairman, Dr. Rajiv Kumar. They decode India's macroeconomic trajectory, cutting through the noise on GDP data, the "empowerment vs. entitlement" debate, and the future of UPI. Dr. Kumar also shares his contrarian take on accessing the Chinese market, why Indian businesses need an "open track" to succeed globally, and what the next wave of agricultural and administrative reforms must look like to achieve exponential growth.
