#468 Why Short-Term Thinking Is Killing India’s Business Potential with Rajendra Srivastava
In this Special Edition of The Core Report, financial journalist Govindraj Ethiraj engages with Professor Rajendra Srivastava, former Dean of the Indian School of Business (ISB) and the Novartis Professor of Marketing strategy and Innovation, to dissect India’s evolving business landscape and its implications for economic growth. The episode critiques the Indian business' focus on short-term profitability over long-term investments in product design, supply chain networks, and branding—a mindset that hinders India's competitive edge. Drawing parallels with global leaders like Tesla and Meta, the discussion illustrates how Indian companies can learn from these examples to build sustainable growth strategies.With Maruti as an example of ecosystem-driven success, Professor Srivastava underscores the need to harness India's human capital and technological potential. The conversation also unpacks how the Indian diaspora and Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are reshaping the talent landscape, positioning India as a hub for design and engineering excellence.
