In OBF Podcast’s first episode, Gurcharan Das joins us for a deep conversation on economics, reforms, governance and entrepreneurship.
In this episode of One Big Future, in partnership with IAMAI, Fahad Moti Khan speaks with author and public intellectual Gurcharan Das on India’s unfinished economic journey. India has grown, reduced poverty and built a digital revolution, but Das argues the country still missed the industrial revolution that lifted other Asian economies. He explains why labour-intensive manufacturing, deregulation, exports, AI literacy, stronger competition and democratic values are critical to India’s 2047 ambition. From Apple’s India shift to the talent challenge and the future of jobs, this conversation asks a simple question: what must India change now to become a true global powerhouse by 2047?
