NITI Aayog’s Ashok Lahiri dropped this hint at a fintech summit, saying our current account gap is already under 1% of GDP. That’s the smallest it’s been in years. And he’s not stopping there; he believes we’re on the brink of a surplus, thanks to manufacturing gains and smarter global play. But here’s the catch: we still lag behind China in scale. Lahiri’s warning? We need more than just growth; we need global-scale manufacturing, FDI, and tech integration. If India gets this right, the next phase won’t just be stable. It’ll be powerful. Aspirants, this isn’t just econ news; it’s your future job market in motion.
