Policy pivot: Will the latest oil shock finally jolt India into looking outward for economic success?
This year's oil disruption has been called the worst energy shock the world has ever seen. The shocks of 1973 and 1979-80 made Japan and South Korea shift course—and it supercharged their export models. It may be India’s turn now.

Ten years of inflation targeting: RBI’s monetary policy framework has worked could still be improved
India's flexible inflation targeting (FIT) regime, adopted in 2016, has served the country well. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has a better handle on inflation and enjoys greater credibility. A good framework, however, could be made better. Here’s what can be done.

AI could make use of India’s health stack data to expand the country’s health insurance coverage
That most Indians don’t have health insurance is less about behaviour and more about policy pricing—kept high by adverse selection. Finely sliced and diced actuarial numbers could be taken from Ayushman Bharat’s database for AI to suggest risk-appropriate premiums.

Brand impulse gone wrong? Nike’s Boston Marathon ad campaign was a risk it shouldn’t have taken
A Nike adline that seemed to sneer at walkers may have been aimed at marathoners, but it faced a backlash it should’ve expected. This footwear brand’s success was partly about making everyone feel like an athlete, racer or plodder. Its yen for wit blurred its identity.

Is China the big winner of the US-Iran conflict? Seen from the prism of a 21st century cold war, plausibly
Cold War II is about geo-economics more than ideology. Note how hostilities between America and Iran have been moderated by anxiety over its economic impact. Neither the US nor Iran can claim victory. Nor can Israel. But China may have gained.
