MONTHLY INSIDER: Decoding Global Shifts, India's Game-Changing Reforms, Tariffs, and Tech Triumphs (Powered by KRESERA™)
Description
In this episode, we unpack August 2025's seismic shifts in India, from the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill forcing out jailed ministers to GST 2.0's radical two-rate overhaul (5% and 18%) slashing taxes on essentials like bread and soaps. We dive into the Online Gaming Act's blanket ban on real-money bets, sparking job fears in a $3B sector, and the Mines Amendment liberalizing critical minerals like lithium to fuel green energy dreams. With Trump's 50% tariffs threatening $50B in exports amid Russian oil buys, India's ₹2,250 Cr Export Mission counters with MSME aid and market diversification.
We explore defense triumphs like Agni-5's 5,500km ICBM test and Mission Sudarshan Chakra's indigenous shield integrating Kusha missiles for 2035 protection, alongside eco-wins: Asiatic lions surging to 891 and Nilgiri Tahrs up 21% to 1,303. From ISM's ₹4,600 Cr for Odisha-Punjab chip plants to Rudrastra's 4.5km freight beast boosting logistics, and breakthroughs like E. coli mercury sensors and the National Biofoundry Network, we reveal how AI tools like SabhaSaar digitize Gram Sabhas. Yet, challenges loom: Gaza famine, Gangotri melt, and IAS costs underestimated by billions.
Whether you’re a policymaker, investor, or global watcher, this episode decodes August's reforms driving India's $5T economy, or risking trade wars and eco-crises.
