Tomorrow is my last day at Mint, a newspaper I joined as a trainee 11 years ago.
It has been an incredibly rich journey thanks to many many people who provided me with education, feedback, encouragement and support. A #thread in appreciation:
Am grateful to @TamalBandyo for hiring me and putting me in the company of several extraordinary journalists who were all part of Mint's original Mumbai office in Dadar (opp Pritam hotel), and for always reminding us that the 'skaai is the limit' :) (2/n)
@WritesRavi, my first mentor taught me how to write, one copy at a time, and how to read balance-sheets. My early stint as a stock-market reporter would have been a catastrophic failure without him. (3/n)

Everybody agrees that this year will be exceptionally bad for growth. But beyond that period, will we know for sure if growth is seeing a sharp rebound or faltering?
We examine this question in the second part of the series.
