7.8% GDP growth in Q1? Impressive. But the report says this momentum must be earned; every single quarter. Global investors aren’t fleeing India... but they’re watching closely. Why? Because tariffs, oil prices, AI race exclusion, and US trade tensions are casting shadows. Even with a recent credit upgrade and strong exports, the real test starts now; jobs and inflation. Households are pessimistic about employment RIGHT NOW, even if they’re hopeful long-term. That gap matters. The report’s sharpest line? India needs to be more ‘competition-friendly’; not just ‘business-friendly’. Translation: fair play, innovation, and smart governance, not just perks for big firms. Because in today’s world, growth without resilience is just luck.
