✨Mr. Menon talks about how both the Government and the Regulator worked in tandem to focus on growth and inflation, respectively to drive growth in the financial investment industry.💲

He also double clicks and talks about 'under the radar' shift, how the focus moved from the managing Wholesale Price Index (WPI) affecting the factory gate to controlling the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which affects the consumer, leading to expansion of the investment landscape from gold and real estate to financial assets.
