New York Times columnist, Thomas Friedman, is known to challenge conventional wisdom & established notions. While the world thinks there will be a pushback against China, he argues that the world could become even more dependent on them. In episode 468 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta explains why India must avoid declaring victory too soon & work hard at it with a sense of urgency.

European union who is the first to comment on India's internal matters.. is sucker still for china... BUT Africa who have not so large economies are hitting back to CHINA...RESPECT FOR AFRICA
@H J Just proving the point that Indians celebrate too soon.
@H J Are you a Chinese bot?? You are overstating China. They are just creating fear all around their Neighbours. They are trying to show them everything is ok in their country as due to this pandemic but that is not true. This is definitely #Chinese_Virus and something must be done to become less dependent in these type of countries.
@H J somewhat true. Everyone say India is a huge market. But India is a huge market by quantity not by quality. When both quantity and quality are at same level then we can assume India is a superpower.
@H J If you live in Africa and are happy with China, well, it may look good in the short term. The European nations colonized and bled all Asian nations too, so we have much in common. But, I wouldn't trust China in the long run. Look at what happened in srilanka. It's going to happen soon in Pakistan too. China will lead you into a debt trap and the squeeze till you part with territorial rights. be careful when dealing with them.
@H J I am not saying India is better than China. Before you comment on my mentality, read my comment properly. China is highly advanced, but they use their money and technology not for other nations benefit but withl a long term agenda to take control, once the borrower is unable to pay back the loan. You want to go with them, fine, your funeral. India has nothing to do with it. We are happy to progress at our place. Thank you.
Friedman’s interview just before today’s Visionary address by PM Modi on India becoming Self reliant and the package. Great timing.
Visionary? Lol. Such hollow words. And only hollow words. Wait for the economic package to just be a front loading of all the existing schemes with hardly anything new. This government has fooled us enough.
@Vedansh Pujara Maybe that could happen and if it does, it may be unfortunate. But hope is what keeps us going. And we need to get up and back from where we are now. For that sake, I Hope you are proven wrong tomorrow my friend.
@@chiragandbuddha
I'd be happy if I'm proven wrong.
But everything this government says has to be taken with a pinch of salt. As Shekhar Sir says, "Never believe anything said by this government unless clarified".
@Punch Hard Don't talk like that about our beloved leader.
@@vedanshpujara1502 he is a faithful servant of congress party
I still feel we as Indians love our plularism more than anyone in the world. And all the bad press is fabricated.
kanika thakur “love” is fine, but are we practicing pluralism? Far from it.
Well I think Most of the bad press... Can't say all of the bad press...
Yup
One key point.
An American cannot teach us pluralism.
We Hindus have taught it to the world.
???
We indians*
Lol😆🤧🤣
@@naruvimama and hindus understand pluralism 😂😂😂
@@aarifkhannnn rightly said bro 👍💯
There were economic and political experts who held the opinion that China's economy was burdened with a huge hidden NPA, known but not acknowledged by the state. India should have started preparing for the shift almost 15 years back. Obviously the main sectors are labour laws, land acquisition, and obtaining statuary permissions. There is some progress in the last area, but almost nothing has been done on the others. if we start seriously now, it may take a few years to reach the threshold benchmark, where it attracts international players. And the distrust against China is not something new. It was always there, but made economic sense to source from it. Now the distrust is magnified, but the importers are pragmatic, and will continue with the present setup, until a reliable alternative is available.
But India is a country with a huge internal market, with its 1.35 billion population, and a big opportunity for the indigenous industry.
OCS You are absolutely right. Our politicians have ensured that TWO major sources for growth of industries is totally controlled by them - LAND & LABOUR. I run a MSME which is 25 years old. Obviously the industrial shed is rented. The guy who owns the shed makes more money than I do. The owner of this shed has political connections. Thanks to what Congress did to the country for 70 years, I am scared of increasing my labour from 8 to 10 because I don’t want to come under Factory Act. But will our present day politicians do something about this?
@@veteranas5564 Same here. Was so fed up with the situation that I removed 6 of the workers, disposed off the machines, relocated in a smaller shed,and off loaded all the machining work, retaining only the assembly and testing part. The sad part is, that I am earning the same amount now without the jhamela of doing everything myself. However the delivery becomes dicey as we do not have control over the complete process.
And to hear all the so called experts advising and pontificating from their ivory towers so angers us, as to wish to squeeze their balls till they see the reality
@@veteranas5564 All entrepreneurs want land to be allotted to them at throwaway price by the government on the pretext of generating employment. Why should farmers be deprived of the market price of land if the government wants lands to be acquired to promote industries. Industrialists can take lands on lease from farmers/owners or make owners as partners in their business.
@Chitra Dhavale SHAME ON RANGA.. 80% PEOPLE IN INDIA HAVE BECOME JOBLESS . ONLY RANGA AND HIS CORRUPT FRIENDS AMBANI ARE ENJOYING.......... OR PEOPLE LIKE U WITH LOADS OF BLACK MONEY.
@@gopalakrishnasn5311 These are called MSME entrepreneurs for a reason, and not industrialists. Pity is, people ignorant of the basics comment , whereby exposing themselves. Read, learn and get a modicum of knowledge. It is a bit difficult, but believe you me, very rewarding. The requirement of land and building for a MSME is very small and they are willing to pay the market price. We are not talking of hectares of virgin farm land where the poor ignorant farmer is tricked by the evil Industrialist to sell it cheaply. Grow up man, we are not in the socialist India any more.
I am a Indian residing in california. Just wanted to express my gratitude for the excellent videos. The knowledge I get about India and the rest of the world is so on the mark and your take on all the news is very thought provoking. Thank You.
Humans suffer from 'Impact Bias'.
We often overestimate the impact of certain events. But, we are really good at getting used to things and we don't even realize it.
Couldn't agree more. We overestimate the permanency of the situation when we are in it. That's why there is a deluge of futuristic predictions about a post covid world as we have left everything else behind and all of it has somehow changed. The underlying realities are still the same. Our lives will.be a little different for sure. But the drivers still remain the same. No point in predicting what we want the world to be.
"Indians declare victory too soon"
This is all too true if you consider the updated covid numbers of India and their trend. I keep being reminding of the first episode of TV show Newsroom: We could be the greatest. But we aren't. First step to greatness is recognizing the problems so we can work towards the goal.
Also the day we think we are the greatest is the day we stop trying and eventually lose.
@@shreyanschordia2011 Nah, not necessarily. I mean we could acknowledge that we are the greatest and still keep improving.
We're by far, the members of the worst period possible period generation period.
Pray, tell me when did India declare victory?
Indians are poor because they are anti-business. China is rich because they open factories.
What he predicted, an entry-level economist can do it. Stop this culture of everything Western is better.

Is there any other country in the world which is more pluralistic than India? The Hindus have lived with the followers of alien religions for over 1000 years, though they have been injured by some of them. Inspite of 1000 years of oppressive rule, India hasn’t become another Lebanon, or Iraq or Siriya. Even though Asian part of Russia and China have ethnic diversity, the authoritarian rules oppress the minority. In a open democratic society like india, where media is independent and strong, everyone will realise his best.
A democracy has to find its own balance. We as a society are yet to mature enough to find the correct balance. We are democratic but independent??? We will become independent only when the local governments and ombudsmen at different level are free to do their job and are held accountable for what they do. That’s how we become independent and certainly not by repeating time and again our past credentials.
lol... what an ignorant comment.. india's democracy has gone to sewers these days..
India has a great resume. No one has called it for an interview though. It does not appeal to prospective investors. Investors are looking for political stability, good infrastructure, smart, hardworking, disciplined sincere workers, stable legal system and so on. They are rational folks always looking for arbitrage and are only motivated by profits and rightfully so. They invest in China despite Tienanmen massacre. They sponsored Beijing Olympics. You ask yourself, if you had $1B to invest, where will you invest? India has the largest democracy. It only has that. Good % of population is illiterate. Good part of the country lacks dependable water supply and power. Population is exploding, arable land and land to put up plants are diminishing. Political parties don't come together to work for the good of the country after elections. Our diversity is not a boon. It has only gifted us with disharmony and chaos. Modi will need to declare emergency and rule India for 10 years. People fondly remember the duration when Mrs Gandhi declared emergency. Trains ran on time. That ain't going to happen now. We will see all the public sector undertakings bleed country's which was originally created by poor farmers and workers. Only in the defense sector we see some order.
ccmnair Figuring out a solution to our current issues doesn’t mean to move towards any extreme. BJP is currently the strongest political party and with the recent engagement of opposition at national level and in the parliament, it can be assumed that no one can dislodge BJP out of power for next 2 election cycles. But please do not advocate emergency.
@@pushkardbg We can't be certain that BJP will survive. People are as corrupt as the political parties. They could be wooed either by goodies or some ethnic riots (CAA, NRC crap) close to the elections. Our legal system has to act swiftly and bring Sonia clan etc to justice. The drama has been on for a long time. It is time we saw the climax.
“Washing hands with water and soap is a luxury in India” - the reality of that hits me hard. #privileged
Lol.
The people who made you believe this has got some special powers.
Lol....😂
ANUPAM SHARMA Well, that’s what I thought as well, but when you see visuals of laborers being literally showered with disinfectant - among other things that have surfaced because of the pandemic - you can’t help but wonder. Clean drinking water is still not accessible to a 100% of our people even on good days, so believing that clean water and soap for hand washing is available to them 24x7 seems wishful.
ANUPAM SHARMA Apologies my friend. Situation gauged by audience like you and me and others depends mostly on from where we come, where we reside, crowd that we see and interact with on a daily basis. Columnists and reporters are better equipped to use such harsh phrases as they have the LUXURY of interacting with a crowd base that we can’t even imagine of interacting. And rightly so, as you mention the situation has improved a lot but the population has also multiplied manifolds and thus the actual number of people for whom soap and clean water is a LUXURY is still huge. Long way to go indeed!!!
Exactly this is what i just mentioned in earlier comment - SG just needs to find an excuse to always flag " Danger to Democracy & Pluralism' Wonder what is the agenda now..?
The question is if we can provide a consistent tax regime for foreign investors to make reliable profits. Everything can go south if we tinker with our policies too often.
Foreign investment of China is scaring India

I do not think India will get big slice of the the Supply Chain pie.
Is pluralism means...bashing majority and pampering minority? This has been followed so far and it can't be anymore. Time to treat everyone equal. Only 2 categories. Rich and poor. Little bit advantage to be provided for SC/St
Pavan Immadisetty Then I believe you should join politics as not a single political party in the country today has this view. 🙂
@@pushkardbg hahha....I don't have a chance. BJP have the same view. Sabka saath sabka vikas with a footnote of upbringing of dalits in a new ways...not just reservations
@@pavanimmadisetty5099 do you think bjp believes in sabka sath sabka vikas when it took no action against anurag thakur and others for hate mongering . well for the other point no new scheme has been launched by the government for the upliftment of dalit in the past 6 months . until now i dont find vikas anywhere . and vikas doesnt come by hate mongering and spreading fake news but by looking after the economy which has been in doldrums for the past 3 years
Pls watch anurag thakur video once again. All he said was....if police won't take action we will. Do you want me to name people who said worse than this? I hope you are aware of. Anyway...I am not into that fake media propoganda. Pls name one scheme by Central govt which was divided across religion.
The world will never be the same .... In india where majority of population is below poverty line and you already said that washing hand with soap and water is a luxury. The concern is that what will happen to india in the future?still majority of population don't know about the seriousness of the disease.
Reminds me of a kashmiri proverb "We are trying to dig wells during fire". We should have been prepared for the shift from China long back but given how ill prepared we are on account of Infrastructure, policy and ease of doing business in general, I think it's already a lost opportunity.... because when it comes to business,the only thing they care about is business.

Only extremists would say all companies will move out of China or even say that they will remain in China. What's going to happen is govt all around globe will gradually try to become self reliant themselves if they can or will not have all eggs in one basket. But one thing is for sure that China economy is on decline and curve will get steeper and steeper coming down over a period of time and India will sure benefit like many other countries as well
lol
Yes. It's foolish to think that all companies would move out of china somehow overnight. But this media spectacle is necessary for certain reforms to have a public appeal. If we clean up our act regarding our reforms, our domestic markets have enough opportunities to generate tremendous capital.
Yes we need a pluralistic society. But not at the cost of anti-nationals thriving within. Tabligijamat is one such case.

When you interview some random princess from middle East for some random Islamophobia on twitter, I don't think it enhances your channel's reputation.

“The world will never be the same” is equivalent to " This time it's different" in context of Financial crisis . We make same mistakes at different frequencies
To move any supply chain we need to have ancillary industrial complex, be cost neutral and have business friendly environment.
We do not have any of these right now, hope we can turn around quickly
Hindus always have and need to continue to sacrifice to keep plurality alive in India. It comes with a huge price for nations majority.

Can India benefit? the easy answer is "yes", the difficult answer is "Yes"....
If you think China's loss is India's gain, you are completely wrong. Countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia will certainly benefit. There is no need of corona for a reason for customers to come to India. We simply don't have the production capacity like China and we are absolutely inefficient to deliver on time. In addition to that our policies are unfavourable to take advantage of this situation. Agree with Sekar on early celebration of the opportunity.

@@alexanderordinary2110 , you missed the point. Most customers like to deal with India simply because we can communicate better unlike China.

Kudos to Print!!!
Your show is called “Cut the Clutter” but it takes you so long to get to the point. Take this episode for example you talk about your relationship with Tom freedman. Your knowing Tom Freedman or the fact that he is your friend is not relevant to the argument. Honestly part of the reason I see the show less frequently is because the episodes are not concise.
precisely the name of the show is the irony here considering the fact that he always tell things in a muddled way rather than simply stating them
It is called Cut the clutter, not bullet point/cut to the chase show. It is important to put a basis to his reasoning/ logic and to that effect the intros are much needed.
@@ramukumarchhetri920 yes and his friendship stories too in between that also way too many times
and I hope you understand the meaning of CLUTTER
Sidd Jain nope, I don’t. I was just wandering around and felt like watching and commenting. Too much of time to kill you see. What does it mean though? Please enlighten
Great episode! I grew up with Hindu editorials that shaped my opinions and debates. I tried getting my 12 year old son to do that and it just didn't happen. The Print is now shaping his opinions and it is a must listen every night for him... I am so glad for this. Thank you so much Shekhar ji...
It's great that your kid is interested in the news. In fact every kid should know what's going on around
Guess why India hasn't turned into another Syria in spite of having more cultural, ethnic, language differences. Bcoz our common religion is Hinduism. That's the difference and that's why it is foolish for anyone to say if India goes like this it will become another Pakistan. No. There are countries like Israel who are proud of their religious identity and are still excelling in every aspects. France, Japan, South Korea, Russia even USA. So, there u go the type of religion is also very important.
Brilliant..Most appropriate today especially when our Res.PM have announce an economic package .Hope India will cautiously sail into the waters looking for foreign investments same time empowering local industrial growth..

Please do a discussion of recent border faceoff between the 2 countries and it’s coincidental timing with covid scenario.
The main point, how India fought with this pandemic is " THE AWARENESS CREATED BY GOVERNMENT IN THE NORMAL PUBLIC".

@Rohit Thaosen Ultimately they have to move to a subscription based business model to sustain and grow. It will only be possible with large viewership. Both to get enough cash and reduce subscription amount for individuals.
There is no way Companies will move from China to India(In a larger scale)
1.As Shekar ji said since china has a very authoritian comunist government it can take great measures to control a pandemic or crisis which can affect the companies which is not possible in india or other democarcies where there are regular disturbance
2.Labour laws Which are meant to give more freedom to labourers in india is backfiring
3.Shifting is costly and india should really really have something special to Attract buisnesses
conclusion-There is a very small possibility
Shifting to India is costly than China but also less expensive than many other countries. Many will move out of China in due course of time, like Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam, india etc. These countries are already having many FDI past few years. After so much of financial loss and deaths many countries and many people will not like to buy Chinese. It will be gradual till alternative is found. Time will tell
@PK dude companies care about only thing and it's movie they don't give a shit about whether they lied or not,their logic is profit that's it nothing matters to them
Many companies will shift to India, Modi is quite shrewd he won't let this opportunity go waste. He will change policies, give concessions or anything else that is necessary.
@@satishtambe1125 well it's good to hear but that's what all politicians do they make fake promises just like when he said he will create jobs btw I'm not saying just modi it's everyone let's see
India has to play a diplomatic card with the Global world and use the situation for their advantage and prepare to invest heavily, NOW on Manufacturing as they have done with PPE but extend it to Electronics, Mechanical and other New Industries and compete with China but without confrontation and win the worlds confidence that India can deliver to the world's challenges and it's ready to take on China on a equal par, with the global communities dismay with China's dishonesty will give a India a look but India will only get one bite to the cherry , they must deliver quality at a competitive price to have a chance of getting any positive outcome and to established themself for the future of India's manufacturing Industries, it's a toll order but it can be achieved with a visionary like PM Modi in charge, Good Luck India this is your chance to shine in the eyes of the world and future of India as a world market and not think of China as invincible , So far PM Modi has achieved so much in so little time in Power , he has done more in six years than Congresses achievement in seventy years,India has young population who are up to the challenges and are ready to face the world , we as One nation can make this happen and should make it happen........For India's future on the world stage...
Quite an optimistic and informative episode in my opinion.
He was soo apt about Trump.
It was great to listen to Thomas freedman,His quotes are thought provoking
Very apt .China rebounded and to think of shifting of Chinese work shops to India is remote since India is far away from facilities to handle shifted faculties .
Finally is democracy and pluralism is more important than any epidemic
Let us pray no epidemic takes away our democracy toleration and willingness to suffer than scumb to all types of eledimics
Can India benefit from post-Corona China - maybe. Businesses look at profits. All western democracies including USA and Japan have facilitated business with China. Hardly any country can offer the scale, prices and business environment that China does. Chinese people have worked very hard to create this economical miracle. Look at the image China has created for itself!
Let's hope Modi government does some big bang reforms which should include Judicial reforms too!
@Shubham Saxena We have so many pending cases. Contracts are enforced by judiciary, but if a business goes to court it takes so much time that the enforced contract becomes pointless. The recent example is vodafone, it took more that 10 years to reach a verdict. You can imagine what would happen to mid and small companies. For handling income tax cases, we have 1 year waiting period just to reach court, and for the whole case period you have to deposit a large sum of money to govt regardless.
Judiciary is not just affecting common people but also businesses, hope our esteemed judges wake up !
Why the WHO's handling of previous outbreaks never discussed?
In 2009 the WHO declared H1N1 as a pandemic. Only a few hundred people died so the WHO was blamed for over-hyping/causing panic and was even accused of being corrupted for helping drug companies.
Once bitten twice shy!
Yes we do declare victory too soon, when testing was insufficient and covid cases were low, we celebrated that we won the battle against virus and now we are at 74000 cases as of today and god forbid but we may see more cases than Italy ,Spain whom we used to show in a negative light.
Biggest hurdle in development of India is its voilent political system and all year round election. But Modi is the only exception, he is taking good decisions lightening fast which is the need of time, assembling all political parties and trying to fight as a country.
How... I mean how... How can you do this every time Shekhar Ji? Your explanation is just like a beautiful painting of a beautiful painting. I always look at the golden mountain and you bring the genie lamp and show me the real treasure. Thank you 🙂
The Point which makes most sense to us as Indians is that we're unfortunately losing our plurality to populism.
As very rightly pointed out, the world can survive 'A Syria' but the world won't survive India.
Having said this, the country which will suffer the most shall be India itself.
'A House Divided against itself Cannot Stand'.
Getting our act together I believe in my understanding would mean Getting it Together Economically as well as Socially.
We Need to Forget out mutual differences and work Together as 'One People' as 'One Nation' as 'One India'.
In other words, we need to constantly remind ourselves and practice the values enshrined in 'Our System', those of Religious Tolerance, Democracy, Plurality, Secularism.
All I can think of while watching PM Modi's speech is, will Shekhar ji make a CTC episode on this, today or tomorrow.

"Washing hands is a luxury in India." Sad and true, yes. But once again, a back-handed compliment to India from progressive liberal Tom. Shekhar, the point here is that Tom and his herd of globalists remain fervent supporters of India's "pluralism and democracy" (suckers for India), who love to vacation in India, but are always shy of promoting India as a viable economic option. Alas, now the comparison is drawn between India and Syria! Well, we can feel better about ourselves now that we are not Syria! What's next?

@Aryan Sharma India will not, but newsrooms are paid to spread the propaganda,and during this time china is in the bad light due to the situations so china is trying to form an opinion that people see ccp and xi Jinping as a strong leader who handled the pandemic well..so that voices around ..and in china is kept low...during recent times there has been an increase in no of op-eds from Chinese officials about the pandemic in india and across the globe too...they also want to show trump in bad light and modi too for obvious reasons..in the whole thing there are many bright side of india and investing in india and future strategic relationships/patnerships ..which he didn't talk about ..same goes for his opinion about us.
SG it very revealing that the factories leaving China may not come to India. Modiji perhaps realised this and gave atmanirbhar mantra for the nation .
What an excellent piece of declutter.A classic -each word full of wisdom-enriching understating & stimulsting serious thinking-Thanks a million SG & The Print Team
Plss make a video on analysis of today's Modi's speech
+1
Sir we have 1 more big problem. We are not united we will fight each others Chinese are united
Thank you very much Mr.Gupta for elaborating the quote "If India would be like Syria, the world would a different place".
That is why the govt is about to change the labour laws. The last tine it happened, not a single company came to IND. The hurdle was our labour law.
you are correct
You validate my perception about you every day...... your knowledge and journalistic approach are one amongst the best in India..... please keep up this excellence and give us more gyaan in your future episodes!
Love u Shekhar sir.....
One of the best CTC sir... Your /his WARNING keeping India pluralistic country must be noted by present Govt, Modi and his Andhe Bhakts
And anti bhakt too
I'm a fan of Thomas Friedman..
THAT'S THE THING ABOUT MODI LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM BUT YOU CANNOT DENY THAT HE HAS BIG BALLS
It's true....We Indians declare victory/celebrate too early. Even I had did it once but soon I realized the mistake I had done.
Love the print and shekar gupta.
But i wish them caution on divisiveness of america.
Its not for Indian media to comment on trump's success or failure.
Merge Delhi state with Haryana state and shift universities and manufacturing companies out of Delhi NCR region to Gwalior and Jahnsi of Bundhelkhand region.
Shekharji, Why don’t you address the big question in the room that what has been China doing to control the infection? Why can’t it be discussed and roll out the same formula to other countries? You have conveniently ignored this big question Sir!! Kindly focus on it..
Pints overlooked by those who feel India can be replacement for China. A) Our treatment of MNCs in the past - including from retrospective taxation. B) Tax terrorism under the present government. C) MNC also look at social environment and India with dubious record of imposing communication shut down at the drop of a hat. D) Poor infrastructure. E) Attitude of Ministers like Piyush Goyal - who make public statements belittling someone who is proposing to invest a billion dollars (Amazon). Others openly spreading hate.
Beautiful said...its always pleasure to hear from you sir..the gyan..the truth...
Thanks so much.
True that it is too premature to declare that India will automatically benefit from businesses moving out of China. Though I am a critic of SG, this video will be a good eye-opener for viewers.
Well done Mr.Gupta
Wishful thinking keep dreaming, dreams are free. Look at your infrastructure and administration. You improve these two, you will see the big change. Truth is it's almost next to impossible to improve these two.
Sir, I have a question for u. You might be well aware that Chinese embassy to India wants to portray one China policy and he told specifically to all the media houses to promote their policy. As you are the President of Editor's Guild of India, so what you have to say on this.
And one more thing Chinese op-ed is seen quite frequently in Indian newspaper and there are hardly any restriction on them unlike Indian op-ed's in China.
If you put up a video on these issues, then it would be more helpful.
We are emotional
Hello Print Team and particularly Shekhar Ji....Thanks for quality journalism. I leave overseas and never miss your videos as they are very insightful. Do let us know how can I support & contribute for this channel's sustainability to further encourage free & neutral press in India. I would suggest to add a link in all your videos to lead us to a page where we can make payments via credit cards, bank transfer, etc. Keep it up.
India understands what America doesn't.... Never provoke the sleeping dragon. If you want to beat it, you run circles around it, without overtly antagonizing it.
I mostly agree with you since you always provide 2 sides of the coin.
Informative!
Did the video editor just apply noise cancellation to half the video?
Agreement or disagreement comes at the second stage. First and foremost is, such discussions and dissections gives us a new perspective. It helps us to know the ins and outs in much transparent manner. And yes, the world has seen manh pandemics, this is just another one. I am alive and writting this here because my great grandparents must have survived from the great spanish flu.😊
Dude,,, I agree with you ... 🙌🏻🙌🏻
No one is shutting their establishments and shifting to India.... why would someone who already invested millions will let it go? India should try to attract new brands who were looking farward to invest in China... That's the right prospective
Sir he is American..he cant think as much positive as an Indian about India and indian polity..he can have vested interests regarding india. India 5000 saal se hai ..sb sath mai rehte aaye hain..America ne aake protect nai kiya hai indian diversity ko..these type people are slow poison for indian unity they can be intelligent enough in many sectors but we know ourselves better than them. Thank you very much
@Ismail Khan Islam is anti national bcz CIA ISI left etc using it as a tool to make new nations for short term economical gains destroying native india..2nd thing hinduism is native ..Islam is imported..we can't destroy our hindu native infinite years old civilization for jus one book religion..hinduism is not one book religion..it is civilization..so Islam is anti national my friend ..not you
Informative, simple and professional... Great video
When i came to USA 10 yrs back in all shop where ever I goes, all products are made in China, now its completely diff 60% replaced with Made in USA. Hope these should be same for all country over the period we can achieve 100% will replace china products in next 10 years.
Another great episode. Thank you SG
India " tum say NA Ho Paiga " but still best wishes to India
The basic premises now ,to shift from China ,are ,too many eggs in one basket,cut down the supply chain length,back to native land, irrespective of cost advantages,since when supply chain is cut at a critical time,there will not be any product at all to profit.
Every time you can not count on the strength of the leadership to bail you out.
In view of this ,India can benefit ,if we are competitive.
It's very doubtful if India can attract investors. Labour laws, bad infrastructure aside, the government has time and again exposed itself to be transactional rather than strategic in its thinking. Retroactive taxes? No credit available to the private sector since the government borrows so much of it... The list goes on.
My latest peeve is the increase in fuel tax. The price of diesel impacts the price of EVERYTHING! Any companies that may have been considering moving to India, they'll plug current fuel prices in to their business models and immediately conclude that logistics costs makes India unviable. Their inputs will be more expensive, which means a higher price for their products.
Well done India, trust us to shoot ourselves in the foot even before we leave the starting line.
