India’s cities are choking. More cars, fewer buses, and killer trains define urban life. Why does public transport fail while private vehicles thrive?

In this episode, we unpack the politics, policy biases, and regulatory nightmares behind India’s transportation crisis. From Mumbai’s tragic train deaths to the government blocking private bus innovation — this episode exposes the real reasons, and asks: Who are our cities built for?

India’s urban transport is jinxed: private cars get incentives, glamour, and political support, but buses and trains are underfunded, overcrowded, and unsafe. What would it take to make commuting in India safe, comfortable, and aspirational for all?

No hype. Just the real economics and the path forward.

In this episode of the Swapnil Karkare Podcast – Economic Insights on India, we delve into why agriculture holds vastly different meanings for India and the US, and how this fundamental disparity has hindered crucial trade talks.

India’s half a billion farmers depend on agriculture for their survival, while America's farmers, though few in number, are highly efficient and economically powerful. We break down the massive disparities in farm sizes, subsidies, workforce participation, and political stakes behind the scenes.

Discover the 8 key reasons India resists agricultural trade compromises, the impact of US farm subsidies and dumping, and how Trump’s farming voter base shapes American trade policy. Plus, the implications this has on future trade deals and global agriculture.

No hype. Just the real economics and the path forward.

Everyone loves Hyundai. But do you know why Hyundai succeeded while Malaysia’s Proton fell behind?

In this video, I unpack the Hyundai vs Proton story — and what it reveals about trade, industrial policy, and why imports aren’t always a bad thing.

South Korea became an export powerhouse by importing capital goods — advanced machines, tools, and technologies that helped it build globally competitive industries. Hyundai wasn’t just protected — it was pushed to compete and win in the global market.

Meanwhile, countries like India followed the path of import substitution — trying to make everything at home and shielding domestic industries from competition. It may sound like self-reliance, but in practice, it held us back.

If Make in India is to truly succeed, we must stop seeing all imports as a weakness. Especially when it comes to capital goods — the very tools that power our growth.

I also dig into India’s industrial policy history, the role of business and politics, and how other countries — from Vietnam to China — used capital goods imports as a launchpad for industrialisation.
