Today in my economics session, we were exploring the possibilities for the Indian economy in the near future.

And, we discovered that this one sector is going to lead India in its journey to becoming a $5 trillion economy!
China plus One!

China has become the ‘World’s factory’, over the last few decades.

Around 30% of global manufacturing ($4 tn) happens in China.
West's Investment in China

For the last 30 years, Western companies have invested heavily in China, attracted by its low labour and production costs.

Garments, Toys, Electronics - you name it & they have been manufacturing it for years!
Time Changes

But over the last three years, changing geopolitics (US-China Trade War), the pandemic & China's zero COVID policy has started this trend of diversifying the supply chain.
The West exits China!

Many European and American companies are moving their manufacturing facilities out of China.

Infact, a survey by UBS suggests that 20-30% of manufacturing will be leaving from China

But, where do they go?
We Sense Opportunity

India's manufacturing sector is the most likely candidate to benefit from this situation owing to its mass and cheap labour, plus its strategic location and global ports.
India's Competitive Advantage in Various Industries

Specialty Chemicals : 35% market share in exports

Textiles : West has banned cotton from Xinjiang

Electronics : Govt PILs and Initiatives to make electronics in India and banning importing phones under ₹12K
This sounds like a great opportunity for India, right?

Who is going to benefit out of this?
Indian companies!

How do we get to know which company to invest in?

We all know that assets are divided after our death, but ever wondered what happens to our debts after we pass away? Image
Contrary to popular belief, families are not responsible for paying off all the debts of the deceased.

Rather, it depends on the type of debt.

Continue reading, to know more!
Firstly, it has to be understood that not all loans are of the same type.

Loans are broadly divided in the category of secured and unsecured.

While we, the customers, pay an obnoxious 40% tax on an iPhone,
Apple pays just 0.005% tax on its overseas profits.

How the heck is this possible?!

Let me decode it for you!
Apple is amongst the most valuable companies in the world, with a market capitalization of $2.8 trillion.

Yet, it is nowhere close to being the highest tax paying organization in the world.
Well, how do giant companies like Apple evade taxes in front of the government’s eyes?

There gotta be a legal way to escape taxes.

Yes, there is!

The strategy is called : The Double Irish Dutch sandwich.

A thread 🧵

"How India became the King of french fries"

Back in 2007, India used to import 6000 metric tonnes of french fries but in 2019 India managed to export 23,000 tonnes of french fries and all thanks to Gujarat, for achieving this feat. Image
You will be surprised to know that Gujarat harvests merely 7.42% of the country's potato production, yet they managed to become the biggest exporter of french fries. Image
Gujarat has the processing plants of three companies - McCain Foods, Balaji Foods and HyFun Foods which produce frozen potato products and exports them. Image

These 5 months changed the fortune of the Indian economy💫

Today is India’s 75th Independence Day🇮🇳

On this occasion, let us understand a major economic event that has shaped India over the past 3 decades🚀
Back in 1991,

1) Foreign reserves were at ₹2,500 crores

2) India could buy only 3 weeks of imports.

3) The government's credit rating was downgraded.

4) India could default on external debt.

5) India had to pledge 47 tonnes of gold.

The economy was about to collapse🤯
1991 was a turnaround year for India🇮🇳

Economic reforms introduced in 1991 changed the way we live, work and spend our money.

But, how did we get here?
