The recent Indian general election was not defined by a clear, sweeping mandate. Rather, the BJP's victory was the culmination of several intertwining factors —ranging from caste and religious considerations to nuanced sub-regional dynamics and strategic candidate selections. During a recent joint session attended by IMA India’s CEOs, CFOs, CHROs, CMOs and CFO NxT Forum members, R Jagannathan, Editorial Director at Swarajya Magazine, delved into the post-election landscape, highlighting the missteps that led to the BJP falling short of a majority. Moreover, he offered insights into the anticipated trajectory of the Modi 3.0 regime and its potential contours. This podcast summarises these discussions.
