India’s economy just recorded its slowest growth in almost 2 years, with the fastest growing major economy coming back to Earth.

Manufacturing stagnated, mining declined, and even government spending—a key growth driver—remains muted. While services posted a strong performance, weak private consumption continues to weigh on the overall picture.

In this episode, we unpack the implications of these disappointing numbers. What went wrong? And why did experts—including the RBI—miss the warning signs? With the central bank’s policy meeting looming on Friday, critical questions emerge: Can India recalibrate its strategy to revive growth? Or is it time to fundamentally rethink the nation’s economic trajectory?

Join host Anirban Chowdhury as he speaks to renowned economist and former RBI Monetary Policy Committee member Ashima Goyal to explore the state of the economy, the factors behind this slowdown, and the road ahead.
