The Prime Minister of India just asked you to stop buying gold, skip foreign travel and save fuel. And if you think that's just an appeal — think again.
In this episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, Senior Fellow at the Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies, Defence Economist, and one of India's sharpest geopolitical and economic minds. A regular columnist for the Economic Times & Business Standard, Abhijit has co-authored books on military reforms and Afghanistan and has been a visiting fellow at Sandia National Laboratories and the Stimson Centre, Washington D.C.
This is his third appearance on Supertalks — and his most urgent yet.
