Why Kerala should borrow more to finance development? A government that borrows to fund projects that expand welfare and opportunities serves a far greater cause than a tight-fisted government. In today's @the_hindu @iitdelhi

Between 2016 and 2026, Kerala's State government capital expenditure could have been at least doubled if it had been able to channel at least part of its surplus savings into investment. I argue in today's @the_hindu

Why is the Indian Rupee falling? In today’s @the_hindu , I try to explain that India could be at risk of paying more dollars per barrel of oil and more rupees per dollar. thehindu.com/business/Econom… @iitdelhi @UniHD_SAI @IITDAD123

Today Kerala is free from extreme poverty. But it was one of the poorest regions in India in 1956. Central to this remarkable transformation has been 'public action', with high level of social expenditure undertaken by the state governments. theindiaforum.in/article/ach…

Future economic growth must be built around the demand from the home markets of countries such as India and China. In the context of U.S. tariffs, India must bring about sweeping economic changes to tap the potential of the country’s youth.
