why he didnt asked single question electrol bond, why no question on privatisation benfits are passed to adani and ambani with full monopoly like airport. But very good discussion on money passed to state(by the way my state gets least out of 100).
Here Critics needs to understand that Ganesh is not a politician or journalist ( doesn't matter both are living off each other in today's era) , Ganesh is a student of Business and his pov is always in learning policies of government and understanding big takeaways from it. People are too much into politics these days , specially the opposition parties. If you are not a politician and not fighting any kind of election in India , please stop getting into too much Politics and try to get what's best for you in current and future scenarios because that's where your life will change. After a certain age people have hard political ideology and whichever question Ganesh might have asked has no significance on either side. It's always better to think about what's on your plate and eat one at a time. Social media is too much spoiled these days , so many bots and everyone scoring political points in comments that people started expecting the same stuff from Ganesh and you'll be forever be disappointed because I'm proud follower of Ganesh and I totally agree on him when he gives analysis on economy and political scenarios.
@@nextingting How is this propoganda? He asked pointed questions and she answered, he poked for examples, she gave them... She tried to make it political a few times, he got her back on track and she did. Very effective and informative.
I am following this channel for almost 3 years, really surprised that Ganesh was able to get our current finance minister. People arguing whether its biased or not, I am just happy for his success and growth. I got a lot of information from this channel and also learnt a lot and I hope it grows more.
Usually, it is the only time they accept to be interviewed if they can vet the questions in advance. But since it is election season they tame their demands.
This is stuff that should be shown on National Television and explained to the citizens in local languages. The key takeaway I always find lacking in any media channel is that politics and governance are two separate things. No one ever questions about how your going to bring about the change you said you would. Thank you Ganesh! You're doing the job so called 'journalists' should be doing

@@amudhanbakthavathsalu5308she said that each state pays their borrowed money. Who said about TN and other states paying installments for Bihar and UP. It is about budget distribution.

This is the best interview of a finance minister, I have heard worldwide. Complex topics of center-state relationship, GST, handled with lucidity and precision of a surgeon. India is in good hands. Well done Ganesh in bringing out subtleties of the topics. You were well prepared. Good luck Ganesh, Think School getting into IVY league caliber.
A perfect example of how an interview has to be conducted....Mr.Ganesh was so well prepared to ask proper well researched questions. He was open to seek clarification whenever he couldn't comprehend what FM said. Madam Nirmala Seethramanji was very calm composed n very crisp n clear with her answers. She explained her point of view in a simple way. My salute and respects to both of them.🫡👏

great podcast no senseless question 100% unbiased ,Social media has painted a amature picture of finance minister but she knows her stuff pretty well overall 10/10 podcast proud of being Think school subscriber since 2020
This was an amazing interview!! While studying GST as an CA student I always used to wonder why the hell there is a limit on how much a transport truck can travel in a day?! It was brilliantly answered in last example.

Just astonished seeing real educated politicians. This is the kind of journalism we need, and these are the people we need to run our country. Such an awesome podcast. I'll sleep well knowing that our nation is in good hands. A Prime Minister who understands the nation A Infrastructure Minister who loves building roads A Foreign Minister who puts a strong front of the nation internationally and A Finance Minister who understands economics like no one else
Why are you not seeing that we have ease of doing business environment but not ease of getting jobs environment.. fm herself agreed that we don't have industry fit workforce and companies have to invest to train to which they are reluctant.. that's why we are seeing increasing unemployment.. unfortunately BJP government failed to resolve this in their 10 year tenure... remember not everybody can become a businessman or an entrepreneur..
25:00 The Income Inequality joke has been started. She answers about the job engineer being not qualified enough for income inequallity. are she saying that poor person means the mentally incapable and rich business house has intellectual powerhouse? Probably she had more allocated funds to education instead of the reduction of corporate tax and wavier of corporate loan of 14 lakh crore. so in a nut shell she is describing that Indian education is not improved under Modi Goverment as we have not seen such type of excuse by the previous government for income inequality. In India, the richest 1% own 53% of the country’s wealth, according to the latest data from Credit Suisse. The richest 5% own 68.6%, while the top 10% have 76.3%. At the other end of the pyramid, the poorer half jostles for a mere 4.1% of national wealth. While it is well known that top what a joke we have elected as the FM.
@@AadiveerJain can u respond on the counter fact and number instead of verbal diaherra ? Also explain how social security has been provided by the goverment, for individual tax payer.l, just like other goverment of the world. Also explain about corporate tax reduction and loan waiver while individual taxation is almost not touched in last 10 year even though 55 percentage price rise as per goverment data CII index. Regarding skill learning, can you explain how informal sector which provide higest employement is doing under current regime. I know economics, better than your whole family together.
Mam might seem a little strict, but the knowledge and success she holds, particularly in her profession, are something that cannot be described in words. The way she handled and answered every single question, explaining in such a simplistic manner that even those listening could understand, makes me believe in this government more. This government surely has ministers who know how to work and grow the largest economy in the world. Proud to have such ministers amongst us. Thank you, Ganesh, and thank you, mam, for such an insightful interview. Just a suggestion, questions can be improved to encompass the entire economy rather than targeting specific sectors.

She[BA,MA, MPhil in Economics and was also Ph.D student of Economics] is the Best Qualified Finance Minister........campare to previous FM Arun Jaitly and P. Chidambaram both were LLB Advocates😂.
@nikunjkavadia she gave her answer to that if ur blind and deaf we can't do anything she totally said that they can tax much more larger population than the current one but its all about the civic conscious of our country men that if they are saving more they will be happy but if the government even if they add 1% tax to them they will feel that the government is repressive and totalitarian like this easily our citizens mind changes so the government especially modijis aim is to make sure and make the middle class people trust tha government that their money is spent on right things

Thank you bro for this amazing podcast. I'm a CA aspirant and the subject I dislike the most is tax but after watching your podcast I'm fired up to study tax more because I understood what she was talking about in what minimum knowledge I have at the moment and now I'm fired up to increase my knowledge pool on the subject. Thank you once again and I request you keep this type of podcast coming, it gives me the kick to learn more and increase my knowledge level.
this is not how you interview a person who hold office okay check out the interview after 24:22 when he asked the questions he did not hold her accountable for example he says there is a gap in our income and it is increasing ok good question and also are engineers are unemployable but he didn’t hold her responsible for this which she is she just explains the concept which is fine we can understand that she is an expert but you are the one who is responsible to make our youth employable our situation is like this for example we don’t have enough doctors to serve our people there are lakhs of students who want to become doctors and we need doctors but what we don’t have is enough good institutes to cater these aspiring students what I mean is questions should be direct like why we are facing these problems and why you are not able to prevent or solve these problems we don’t need you to explain the problems instead we want solutions and answers and accountability that if you are failing to make things better then just accept that you have failed us PS: check out karan thapar’s current and old interview he is the best interviewer i’ve ever seen
@@Comrade_Yash totally agree, FM should lay down logics on what plans she has in mind, at least tell it out loud that what she is doing to bring more people under tax base. Also the sooner she understands her collecting large tax from people isnt a good thing, and does not shed light on earnings, for example one has had no salary hike in last 4 to 5 years, but his expenses including gst and indirect tax and tax due to inflation he pays has increased including education expenses of his children then this achievement of FM only means she is sucking more blood at the cost of citizens future and growth. Any government should lean towards lesser tax collection, and more employment even if they have to provide employment themselves and bring some strict labor laws by which employees are not exploited or fired from job at will like private companies do. let them take insurance against bankruptcy and other such things to push into paying salary when it runs out of business. after all success of business is due to hardwork of employees. look at putting more money into peoples hands than take away, they are installing hundreds of cameras for what? to hold someone for speeding - after one month, people start getting 1lks, 2lks etc as penalty to pay... expressways are meant to go fast let people travel in peace with whatever speed they want, its not like rest of the country is filled with nice roads, time saved on expressways are used up completely on the crap roads decreasing the overall journey time anyway, they just create more pain, they want to squeeze whatever money they can in terms of fine, penalty etc not have to justify on top of already tax terrorism they do
This is the type of interview which should be conducted with the finance minister, focusing mainly on economy, country's revenue generation and "efficient tax collection". Nicely framed questions, well answered by FM with fantastic examples. I hope national media learns something
Wow. This was such a balanced interview. I felt like there were questions which pushed the FM asking about areas where they definitely need to do better. As well as questions which allowed to highlight what has been going well as well as future plans. This is the kind of journalism we need more of rather than shouting matches in the name of debates.
@@damienknight5655 One example would be the rich poor divide question asked by Ganesh(around 25 mins), she just said she don't believe it exists and steered the answer away to skills gap between industry and graduates. Also ignoring all the stats that Ganesh presented. She should've answered why she believes it doesn't exists, also opinion on all those stats.
@@fnamelname4146 I don't think she meant it doesn't exist though.. She said that it's mainly the skill gap that's causing people to not come out of poverty.. Lot of time is getting wasted by people focusing on something they are not good at, which is leading to them not being able to find the right kind of profession to make money.. It was not steering away from the question, rather she explained using that as one of the factors. However, I do agree that, although she acknowledges it's a problem, no concrete solution is at place which is addressing this at the moment.
@@fnamelname4146 Ya, I also felt the same way about some of the question. The one about spliting the GST Difference in particular. Lets say if GST is split between the producing and consuming state, then if Kerala is being a consumer state, it would not get 10rs. but only rs.5 This would incentivize them to open new factories otherwise loose out on tax. But in the current form, it incentivizes the citizens of the states to be more consumeristic and the states to don't care much about manufacturing. Maybe i'm naive, can someone more qualified clarify this to me ?
I have watched quite a few episodes and really liked it. I'm very impressed they do a lot of research and ask questions that are relevant and matter. They also explain terms spoken during conversation shows efforts they make before posting a video. Thank you Ganesh sir for providing such a high quality of knowledge free of cost.
This was a great podcast, she really went very deep explaining everything asked. Felt like a great teacher is explaining me how things actually work in an economy
For an artist like me who has never shown keen interest in politics, business or finance in general,this channel has helped me understand complex topics in simple manner Kudos to Ganesh and the think school team for bringing these videos for us. Keep making such amazing content!!!😊
This was one of the best podcast i ever saw. Like genuinely talking to the government leaders is making the system more transparent. There were endless false arguments like North vs South, labour employment and she answered them so well. Genuinely a great job Ganesh
This is the kind of content we need. This will make our government more transoparent and will make the common public more aware of about what their part is in the country's progress. Amazing Amazing. And Thank You.
I enjoyed watching this podcast. I'm glad to see our Finance Minister articulate the exact thoughts of the Indian taxpayer i.e 'What are we getting for the tax that we pay?' resonates deeply with most Indian middle-class. I'm glad you also brought up the question about expanding tax base. It's reassuring to know that people who run our country understand our concerns. Ganesh, I wish you had asked her about No income tax policy (which Subramanya swamy keeps talking about) and it's pros & cons. It would have given us Finance minister's POV.
You have come a Long way Ganesh. From making top notch business and political case studies to now making podcast with most powerful leaders of our country, you have truly inspired Greatness. Kudos to the Think School team.
Really she is like the principal of our old college days, those examples are at par, Especially the north vs south GST collective divisions explained with Kochin, Bengaluru, and Chennai were eye-opening for me, even though I am from the south, till these many days I thought somewhere centre is neglecting some high-paying states and distributing only to backward states, now with this example I came to know, I have to correct my perceptive or thought process regarding this matter. Thanks, Ganesh for this wonderful interview.
man she is quite sharp. thats what quality information is when host and the guest is both educated rather than asking questions controversy questions he purely asked question based on stats and report. hats off.. great podcast...
unlike the mainstream media who try to pin down the person with their "tough questions", Ganesh hatsoff for your approach and questioning which lead to detailed and uninterrupted answering!!
@harishchad. does the name Nupur Sharma ring a bell??? she was an official BJP spokesperson and was targetted for reason which still remains unanswered!!
One common answer from the respected ministers on IBP about Unemployment & Education ----- is that there is disparity between what industries want and what skills the education is providing Similar answers from FM Nirmala maam & Shashi Sir Hope there are provisions made on larger scale to cater the same
We have basic laptop or pc in our schools and colleges but we aren't not interested to learn much about importance software ( which are necessary skills for various job now a days) and our teachers are also didn't do much about this....I think computer skills and other info-tech related things syllabus should be updated to compete with these growing tech base economy.
@@golik133 Yup .....as rational citizens we also have to act in a way or say develop skills that are fruitful for us and the industry .....Govt can do whats up to them ....but we also need to scale ourselves up rather blindly following the wave
@@sway_gg But dont you think that its also the government's job regulate the curriculum of universities with topics which would make the students market ready. You can't blame the students on the fact that they are made to work their ass off on a subject which wouldn't be used in real life

Very well answered why companies still prefer Gujarat over any other state. It's not just about policies, it's about commitment and the positive attitude that it has to offer. Also it is better that they invest in states with stable government so as to ensure successful completion of projects otherwise in case of unstable govt the project fails and the money might end up in corruption.
Bro, everyone wants to invest in Karnataka or tamilnadu. But when the Prime minister only gives one option that's Gujarat, That they will choose China......😮😮😮😮😮

I cannot appreciate enough to Ganesh and his team put this much effort to get such people on this show. Hats off to the team and keep up the good work.🙌
The reality is that no one expected anything from the previous government and now people do ask government questions which implies that we are awakening as voters and citizens
that just is not true. income inequality levels in 2024 are worse than during British raj. 1% of the country holds 40% of the wealth- highest it has ever been. Modi govt had 10 years to fix this, but he just made it worse by catering to his crony capitalist friends and then taking bonds from them as his reward.

"so now it is up to you to decide whether her answers were satisfactory or not" is one of the main reasons why I like this channel so much. Besides providing great content, Ganesh actually encourages us to form our own opinions rather than to just agree with everyone, is really great.
The questions were on point ganesh great work by the entire team and the answers of the fm were also fabulous amazed to see how informed she is about the topics blessed to have such person in power
Such respect for both of our F.M and Ganesh for this awesome interview. It's really clears up a lot of things, and also shows that economy don't run on freebies but rather on smart investments.
not great FM btw, i disagree. i even disagree with notion of a politician holding job of FM for a country like INDIA. there are people much more educated, much more experienced, like economists within the nation, they should be given a chance... its so wrong. that's why China every day makes more progress than India, they have better decision makers, who makes better decisions at every turn.... good interviewer btw
@@giveaway4002China makes progress as there is no opposition that constantly does dharnas. Labor laws, Farm Laws and the bullet train is a good example. And Tata Nano is another example. Easier to blame government, and continue to promote the opposition.
@@giveaway4002 Lan Fo’an, the current finance minister of China joined politics right after graduating from an economics university. If I see it right, he has been a longer politician than Ms.Sitharaman. I don’t think being a politician or not being one is a criterion here. It’s about having your ear to the ground and thinking in the Indian way. Some economic theories may not work in a hugely diverse country like India and some big impactful decisions cannot be simply imposed because we are a democracy. Democracy is slow but the results are solid and accountable. If people have waited patiently for years with people like Chidambaram, it’s only fair to give her a chance for at least 10 years when she’s forthright and honest. Most of the first term of this government has been about firefighting losses from UPA. I think the next term will see some major decisions as we have now solved many issues from the past.

Very important interview, must reach the Indian masses in millions.. Madam FM knows the governance required in finance, business and economics aptly, and despite severe harsh criticism, the way she has steered the Indian economy to reach great heights even during the disruptive Covid years is commendable..

@Think School, may be you are already are aware of this but some of the top businesses owners (billionaires) nationally and internationally watch your podcasts like they watch the budget session. Your team is adding extraordinary value to the policy makers, traders and businesses owners and overall commercial environment. I hope you keep up with such consistent performance post election season because now you have and will become pivotal in the evolving mindset of young entrepreneurs. SUGGESTION: INCLUDE A FEEDBACK SEGMENT IN EACH INTERVEIW WHERE IN YOU GIVE ESSENTIAL INPUTS COLLECTED FROM THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE FACING PROBLEMS (you will have to design a system where you collect genuine grievances from the business fraternity so as to ask questions).
Am from Kerala now I understand the issue with GST return for my state . Which was kept hidden by the state government from the public and used as a tool to criticize the central government Until and unless a state initiated a project to create the revenue the GST was not 1:01:40 going to fix for kerala .2. find out the loop holes that drain the revenue It's a very good video with such powerful questions and well clear answers.Appriciate the great effort to put this into the frame
Apparently, the South should fix the holes and leakages while the North will find new holes in their own states. She gave a BS reply and you are lapping it up. This BS GST system will not last long. Southern manufacturing states will forced to increase consumption in their own states so that the state share remains there. After that, there will be a rat race for resources from both sides.
I am glad Ganesh that you went with objectivity and understood the realistic scenario rather than biased mind! She is so honest, hard working and committed to India like never before!
Thank you Ganesh and team Think School for this! How rare is it for us to actually listen to the leaders of our country without reporters interrupting them?? This was excellent!! Kudos! 💯💯💯💯
She is a great minister, very calm and composed. And many of the questions which I thought I would be startled to face was very patiently explain by FM. Glad to see current government putting credible people in important ministries.

Really you don't even get 18% back for the term insurance or health insurance that we buy.... atleat they should wonder reducing percent based on the service that we using....and this just one example they are collecting tax on already taxed income and that too at higher percentage...go an check for a month of your expence and just add the gst you will figure it out how much of its going and I'm speaking of non luxurious products ( for our day to day use) and if you pair up with the low paying salary that we are getting from the company... you end up in lower middle class easliy in 10 years
@@Sri_Krish1555 No I don't think we are over paying taxes. The government's largest source of income is taxes. So I would judge them on how they eased taxation systems in India. How is majority of that being used whether in just welfare schemes or capital expenditures. I want that. I pay taxes in 30% income tax category. And I am perfectly fine with that. I pay 30% on my excess money. I pay low income tax of 13% under 15 lakhs . I can live a comfortable life in the remaining 87 percent money which I will further integrate in country's economy by spending. If I am earning more then I should contribute more. It's that simple. *One is in lower middle class because he/she is earning like a lower middle class and not because of the taxes.* Taxes in India have only got lesser and lesser with time but if you expect government to almost ditch most of the taxes I am sorry that's not how it works. If they in future reduce taxes further I would welcome that, but they Will only do that when they actually can without burdening the economy.
Well done , this is how our fourth pillar of democracy should ideally be. Glad some youtubers are filling the void modern news media had created by not questioning the representatives of the people . Really appreciate FM to come forward to answer the concerns of indian citizens and not hiding behind the scripted interviews as some of other very prominent leaders are doing currently . Great continuation would be having education minister next since there is clearly gaps that needs to be addressed by government and education ministry in particular.
I was not expecting Nirmala Sitharaman as a good finance minister but seeing this video and the way she explains the question was really mind blowing. Thanks Ganesh for bringing such podcast and asking right questions where mainstream media doesn't ask.
This has to be the finest interview with GoI on the internet that touches really core issues and plight of common citizen. Really amazing to see how well FM knows the root and technicalities of the subject. Kudos to Ganesh!
In the middle of the interview I was almost unerringly routing for the anchor to ask questions which FM shouldn't feel its elementary, You have managed to pull off a superb one ,holding on to your nerve. Especially with a super intelligent & strong leader like our FM. Watt a lady phew... !, Have to give it to her to have accommodated. Well done mate !
I left India for the love of Tech. Now the grass is looking greener in India. This Govt makes people wanna believe in India in terms of progress (as it is defined today)
You have to make your contribution in terms of resources for next generation. Give back what you got from country. We still have citizens living in India not willing to pay tax complaining of lack of resources. This is chicken and egg. Unless we individuals listen to conscience and pay taxes or giving service in remote parts of India, it will be hard for India to become a developed nation.
@@arijit1809 haha, my names tells you everything, except everything you'll ever know about me or my background. But your mentality definitely tells everyone what kind of person tou are
One of the best pronouncements of the government policies and practices. I give credit to Modi for identifying and placing such bright candidates in various Ministries. When someone asked Jamshedji Tata to explain how he runs such a large number of conglomerates and still appears unfazed, he said, "All that I do is select the right person and set him free!"
key questions have been raised and answered, clarity on both sides is what is needed by the viewers and I would say this podcast has covered all aspects. This is very different from the mainstream media debates where proper reasoning has been given, instead of an hour of utter nonsense.
First time saw a 1hr iterview of our FM, and mus t say she has great answers for all questions!. Its not about whos right or wrong, its about putting or making people look at certain things with different perspectives, which ma'am did.
I can't stress the fact that the questions asked were so engaging and the answers equally comprehensive and interesting!!! Couldn't take my eyes off even for a second! Kudos to the podcast team and hail our FM for being so articulate !! Loved the podcast!
It was an amazing podcast. I really enjoyed it. one of the best thing about this is I really understood complex topics in a frank way. I would like to appreciate Ganesh Sir for inviting Nirmala Ma'am. Your questions were necessary and relevant. India needs people like you.
The big leaps Ganesh has taken over the past few months with the podcast is very inspiring congrats brother

Here Critics needs to understand that Ganesh is not a politician or journalist ( doesn't matter both are living off each other in today's era) , Ganesh is a student of Business and his pov is always in learning policies of government and understanding big takeaways from it.
People are too much into politics these days , specially the opposition parties.
If you are not a politician and not fighting any kind of election in India , please stop getting into too much Politics and try to get what's best for you in current and future scenarios because that's where your life will change. After a certain age people have hard political ideology and whichever question Ganesh might have asked has no significance on either side.
It's always better to think about what's on your plate and eat one at a time.
Social media is too much spoiled these days , so many bots and everyone scoring political points in comments that people started expecting the same stuff from Ganesh and you'll be forever be disappointed because I'm proud follower of Ganesh and I totally agree on him when he gives analysis on economy and political scenarios.
This man is single handedly raising standard of government interviews in India. So informative.

This is stuff that should be shown on National Television and explained to the citizens in local languages.

Well done Ganesh in bringing out subtleties of the topics. You were well prepared. Good luck Ganesh, Think School getting into IVY league caliber.
A perfect example of how an interview has to be conducted....Mr.Ganesh was so well prepared to ask proper well researched questions. He was open to seek clarification whenever he couldn't comprehend what FM said.

Hello Bhai 😁 MAJA AA RAHA HAI NA
this is not how you interview a person who hold office
okay check out the interview after 24:22
when he asked the questions he did not hold her accountable
for example he says there is a gap in our income and it is increasing ok good question and also are engineers are unemployable but he didn’t hold her responsible for this which she is
she just explains the concept which is fine we can understand that she is an expert but you are the one who is responsible to make our youth employable
our situation is like this
for example we don’t have enough doctors to serve our people
there are lakhs of students who want to become doctors and we need doctors but what we don’t have is enough good institutes to cater these aspiring students
what I mean is questions should be direct like why we are facing these problems and why you are not able to prevent or solve these
problems
we don’t need you to explain the problems instead we want solutions and answers and accountability that if you are failing to make things better then just accept that you have failed us
PS: check out karan thapar’s current and old interview
he is the best interviewer i’ve ever seen
@@Comrade_YashThis is more of educational channel not some news channel where anchor will be loud ....go watch your karan tapar 😂
@@Comrade_Yash totally agree, FM should lay down logics on what plans she has in mind, at least tell it out loud that what she is doing to bring more people under tax base.
Also the sooner she understands her collecting large tax from people isnt a good thing, and does not shed light on earnings, for example one has had no salary hike in last 4 to 5 years, but his expenses including gst and indirect tax and tax due to inflation he pays has increased including education expenses of his children then this achievement of FM only means she is sucking more blood at the cost of citizens future and growth.
Any government should lean towards lesser tax collection, and more employment even if they have to provide employment themselves and bring some strict labor laws by which employees are not exploited or fired from job at will like private companies do. let them take insurance against bankruptcy and other such things to push into paying salary when it runs out of business. after all success of business is due to hardwork of employees.
look at putting more money into peoples hands than take away, they are installing hundreds of cameras for what? to hold someone for speeding - after one month, people start getting 1lks, 2lks etc as penalty to pay... expressways are meant to go fast let people travel in peace with whatever speed they want, its not like rest of the country is filled with nice roads, time saved on expressways are used up completely on the crap roads decreasing the overall journey time anyway, they just create more pain, they want to squeeze whatever money they can in terms of fine, penalty etc not have to justify on top of already tax terrorism they do

This is the type of interview which should be conducted with the finance minister, focusing mainly on economy, country's revenue generation and "efficient tax collection". Nicely framed questions, well answered by FM with fantastic examples. I hope national media learns something
Wow. This was such a balanced interview. I felt like there were questions which pushed the FM asking about areas where they definitely need to do better. As well as questions which allowed to highlight what has been going well as well as future plans. This is the kind of journalism we need more of rather than shouting matches in the name of debates.

@@damienknight5655 One example would be the rich poor divide question asked by Ganesh(around 25 mins), she just said she don't believe it exists and steered the answer away to skills gap between industry and graduates. Also ignoring all the stats that Ganesh presented.
She should've answered why she believes it doesn't exists, also opinion on all those stats.
@@fnamelname4146 I don't think she meant it doesn't exist though.. She said that it's mainly the skill gap that's causing people to not come out of poverty.. Lot of time is getting wasted by people focusing on something they are not good at, which is leading to them not being able to find the right kind of profession to make money.. It was not steering away from the question, rather she explained using that as one of the factors. However, I do agree that, although she acknowledges it's a problem, no concrete solution is at place which is addressing this at the moment.
@@fnamelname4146 Ya, I also felt the same way about some of the question. The one about spliting the GST Difference in particular. Lets say if GST is split between the producing and consuming state, then if Kerala is being a consumer state, it would not get 10rs. but only rs.5 This would incentivize them to open new factories otherwise loose out on tax. But in the current form, it incentivizes the citizens of the states to be more consumeristic and the states to don't care much about manufacturing. Maybe i'm naive, can someone more qualified clarify this to me ?
This will be one of the iconic podcast/interview in the history.
The clarity and the patience with which Nirmala Sitaraman answered is just amazing.

This was one of the best podcast i ever saw. Like genuinely talking to the government leaders is making the system more transparent. There were endless false arguments like North vs South, labour employment and she answered them so well.
Genuinely a great job Ganesh

This is the kind of content we need. This will make our government more transoparent and will make the common public more aware of about what their part is in the country's progress. Amazing Amazing. And Thank You.
I enjoyed watching this podcast. I'm glad to see our Finance Minister articulate the exact thoughts of the Indian taxpayer i.e 'What are we getting for the tax that we pay?' resonates deeply with most Indian middle-class. I'm glad you also brought up the question about expanding tax base.
It's reassuring to know that people who run our country understand our concerns.
Ganesh, I wish you had asked her about No income tax policy (which Subramanya swamy keeps talking about) and it's pros & cons. It would have given us Finance minister's POV.
You have come a Long way Ganesh. From making top notch business and political case studies to now making podcast with most powerful leaders of our country, you have truly inspired Greatness. Kudos to the Think School team.
Really she is like the principal of our old college days, those examples are at par,
Especially the north vs south GST collective divisions explained with Kochin, Bengaluru, and Chennai were eye-opening for me, even though I am from the south, till these many days I thought somewhere centre is neglecting some high-paying states and distributing only to backward states, now with this example I came to know, I have to correct my perceptive or thought process regarding this matter.

It's not just about policies, it's about commitment and the positive attitude that it has to offer.
Also it is better that they invest in states with stable government so as to ensure successful completion of projects otherwise in case of unstable govt the project fails and the money might end up in corruption.

I am so glad that she acknowledged the fact how distorted our current education system is . The base of the economy is education and enriching the youth. I cannot appreciate enough to Ganesh and his team put this much effort to get such people on this show. Hats off to the team and keep up the good work.🙌
Beautiful interview and excellent explanations and answers by Hon'ble Finance Minister. Jai hind.
This conversation is the one i listened fully.. i sense more confidencee in this speec decorum.. Bravilo well handled brother ❤❤
Now only Modi ji is left to come in podacast....really waiting for such a podcast❤❤❤
That will never happen..😂
Not gonna happen 😅
Lol. Our PM is not used to give unprepared interviews..
@@CAPARTH89 "Our"? This is not Pakistan lol.
and what question should he answer? when have you heard about him heading a project. his work is vision not operation.
Everybody blames BJP as if inequality shot up only after 2014 when in reality, it rose the most in UPA era from 2004-14.
The reality is that no one expected anything from the previous government and now people do ask government questions which implies that we are awakening as voters and citizens
That's wrong, look at the price of commodities like pulses, etc.
that just is not true. income inequality levels in 2024 are worse than during British raj. 1% of the country holds 40% of the wealth- highest it has ever been. Modi govt had 10 years to fix this, but he just made it worse by catering to his crony capitalist friends and then taking bonds from them as his reward.
@@shomikoto7558 remember the roads, Bridges and railway station post 2014. If u don't remember I advise u to visit some 3rd world countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh for a change. U can't get everything on the platter. 1st world countries food expense is massive so is the cost of living.
If you see the gini index then it says inequality got better in the last 10 years
"so now it is up to you to decide whether her answers were satisfactory or not" is one of the main reasons why I like this channel so much. Besides providing great content, Ganesh actually encourages us to form our own opinions rather than to just agree with everyone, is really great.
Nirmala mam were so engaged in conversation and answered all questions with example which made it easy for us to understand.
Great interview ❤
The questions were on point ganesh great work by the entire team and the answers of the fm were also fabulous amazed to see how informed she is about the topics blessed to have such person in power
Such respect for both of our F.M and Ganesh for this awesome interview. It's really clears up a lot of things, and also shows that economy don't run on freebies but rather on smart investments.
She is so clear, great FM
not great FM btw, i disagree.
i even disagree with notion of a politician holding job of FM for a country like INDIA.
there are people much more educated, much more experienced, like economists within the nation, they should be given a chance...
its so wrong. that's why China every day makes more progress than India, they have better decision makers, who makes better decisions at every turn....
good interviewer btw
@@giveaway4002China makes progress as there is no opposition that constantly does dharnas. Labor laws, Farm Laws and the bullet train is a good example. And Tata Nano is another example. Easier to blame government, and continue to promote the opposition.
First of all never compare China with India because there is a huge difference in governing and policies between the two. @@giveaway4002
How she is great FM She didn't give proper answer when people ask a question 🙄
@@giveaway4002 Lan Fo’an, the current finance minister of China joined politics right after graduating from an economics university. If I see it right, he has been a longer politician than Ms.Sitharaman. I don’t think being a politician or not being one is a criterion here. It’s about having your ear to the ground and thinking in the Indian way. Some economic theories may not work in a hugely diverse country like India and some big impactful decisions cannot be simply imposed because we are a democracy. Democracy is slow but the results are solid and accountable. If people have waited patiently for years with people like Chidambaram, it’s only fair to give her a chance for at least 10 years when she’s forthright and honest. Most of the first term of this government has been about firefighting losses from UPA. I think the next term will see some major decisions as we have now solved many issues from the past.
Bhai, ye toh extraordinary podcast hai. I can't even measure the knowledge I got. I just got a new perspective for my job search. Thanks a lot Bhai. Congratulations!
Our FM has given micro level excellent explanation.
i think, nowadays, youtubers are more important than traditional media in our country. i was watching TV the previous day and they were showing Viral on the Internet as a show and youtubers are nowadays interviewing Politicians. 😂😂😂
true
Unbias youtuber is important *
Not beerbiceps ofc atlest Ganesh asked good questions rather then saying ki aap me se durga mata jsi vibes aati h
@@Onlymanstuffbeer biceps doesn't even do any reasearch related to the topic and he asks very basic questions. The reason why people go to him is because he doesn't ask tough questions
😂😂😂😂
Ganesh hats off to you! Not only is this India’s best UA-cam channel - you are now proving yourself as the most capable journalist in the country 🔥🔥🔥
Keep going bro - inspiring 👍👍
Bro the questions you've asked just amazing 😍
I'd never followed you but after this podcast, I can't resist myself
Traditional media is showing brainrot, meanwhile UA-camrs are creating analysis and interviewing politicians.
Great job Ganesh I have been following you for for few times and I am really happy to see you succeed. Now although I am not in India I watch every video of yours to get up to date.
Arnab is solely responsible for justice for SSR movement and gave just to him , u are anti Hindu I guess
The word of brainrot of traditional media is true
The most underrated Cabinet Minister ! Sailed our economy through the Covid crisis and now India is the fastest growing economy.
Exactly and main stream media shows like she is stupid but in this interview she is answering question very nicely and also she accepted some of her or her's government mistake like on education system and other
Which is fine she is also a human ❤❤❤❤
By putting various types of taxes over our heads.
This is a phenomenol interview. Her calmness and acceptance of problems truly won the heart.
Excellent questions and very clear explanations through suitable examples by honourable FM!
My concern as senior citizen not much updated on digital technology is the increasing and rampant cyber crime episodes, extortion of money fraudulently from gullible victims at the tap of an Otp number!!!
Also there is no clue where and whom to approach for any kind of recovery or redress!
This is the best interview of a minster I have ever seen. Respect to Ganesh and our respected finance minister Niramala ma'am 🙏
As an NRI I have finally found channel which does unbiased interviews. Kudos 👏
Unbiased toh nahi bhai, uska body language aur mouth toh dekho. No counter questioning and real time thinking.
@@sameerpurwar4836
Here, we have got our Nobel laureate on Body Language Technology
@@sameerpurwar4836 25:00 The Income Inequality joke has been started. She answers about the job engineer being not qualified enough for income inequallity.
are she saying that poor person means the mentally incapable and rich business house has intellectual powerhouse?
Probably she had more allocated funds to education instead of the reduction of corporate tax and wavier of corporate loan of 14 lakh crore.
so in a nut shell she is describing that Indian education is not improved under Modi Goverment as we have not seen such type of excuse by the previous government for income inequality.
In India, the richest 1% own 53% of the country’s wealth, according to the latest data from Credit Suisse. The richest 5% own 68.6%, while the top 10% have 76.3%. At the other end of the pyramid, the poorer half jostles for a mere 4.1% of national wealth.
While it is well known that top what a joke we have elected as the FM.
@@sameerpurwar4836 bro he is interviewing the finance minister and a very respected leader. He cannot be obnoxious like a JNU student. His interview was respectful and good as well.
@@1729krish bro counter questions kaha hai, follow up questions kaha hai. Aur position toh respectable rahegi, person ka iss respect se koi matlab nahi.
I am glad and proud of Mr. Ganesh. He has grown into a balanced and nuanced interviewer. He asked tough questions but did not interrupt the replies unnecessarily.
Really loved the way questions were framed. All of those were critical yet unbiased and polite yet being factual. Also hats off to way the FM took time in explaining things with crystal clear examples.
Amazing discussion, loved your questions, and I’m proud to have an INFORMED FM. Good work
She is ineligible for FM, failed Defence Minister. High time Modi kick her out of cabinet. Only know how to debate not run Finance of the country
I do not agree.. she must be replaced..
Yes informed FM... Informed by the party.
Kids still thinks that Ministries are actually run by Ministers. 😂😂😂
@@RDd188 she was Def weak in defence sector not like rajnath Singh who keeps growing the defence sector..
But you have to applaud that she did the best in such a volatile situation with our supply chains being choked ,our oil and gas are being targeted thnx to geopolitics, and all .
I don’t want to get BJP in this conversation, but when I hear from Nirmala sitaraman ji, Ashwini vaishnavi ji, Nitin gadakari ji and couple of others, it feels like they are educating us with every interview of theirs…I mean so much clarity in every aspect. I think we all should leave tv channels and follow few podcasts that are run by our fellow Indians….
Talking about BJP ministers but don't want to get BJP? How & why?
@@adityaandytiwari The original commenter is talking about their Individual Performance; their work not as BJP politicians but as Ministers leading the entire country.
@Yash-qr8jp yes nirmala is a failed fm.and she is guided by rbi governor ma history wala.

@@ssv.d Explain how they destroyed ind rural economy? Also include authentic source data.
Ganesh this podcast is GOATED. Genuinely good questions. Great job guys.
It was around 3 years ago when i started watching think school. I have to say, you have come a long way Ganesh. The amount of knowledge you possess is just amazing and mainly how you explain it to your audience is brilliant. Keep going💯
Very important interview, must reach the Indian masses in millions.. Madam FM knows the governance required in finance, business and economics aptly, and despite severe harsh criticism, the way she has steered the Indian economy to reach great heights even during the disruptive Covid years is commendable.. Also, Ganesh, your interviewing and communication skills are exemplary.. Very well done!
Very elaborate interview with lots of explanations and examples for even a lay person to understand easily. Great! Kudos to ThinkSchool and hats off to Hon'ble FM Smt Nirmala Sitharaman. 👏👌👍
@Think School, may be you are already are aware of this but some of the top businesses owners (billionaires) nationally and internationally watch your podcasts like they watch the budget session. Your team is adding extraordinary value to the policy makers, traders and businesses owners and overall commercial environment. I hope you keep up with such consistent performance post election season because now you have and will become pivotal in the evolving mindset of young entrepreneurs.
SUGGESTION: INCLUDE A FEEDBACK SEGMENT IN EACH INTERVEIW WHERE IN YOU GIVE ESSENTIAL INPUTS COLLECTED FROM THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE FACING PROBLEMS (you will have to design a system where you collect genuine grievances from the business fraternity so as to ask questions).
Am from Kerala now I understand the issue with GST return for my state . Which was kept hidden by the state government from the public and used as a tool to criticize the central government
Until and unless a state initiated a project to create the revenue the GST was not 1:01:40 going to fix for kerala .2. find out the loop holes that drain the revenue
It's a very good video with such powerful questions and well clear answers.Appriciate the great effort to put this into the frame
Apparently, the South should fix the holes and leakages while the North will find new holes in their own states. She gave a BS reply and you are lapping it up.
This BS GST system will not last long. Southern manufacturing states will forced to increase consumption in their own states so that the state share remains there. After that, there will be a rat race for resources from both sides.
I am glad Ganesh that you went with objectivity and understood the realistic scenario rather than biased mind! She is so honest, hard working and committed to India like never before!
Thank you Ganesh and team Think School for this!
How rare is it for us to actually listen to the leaders of our country without reporters interrupting them??
This was excellent!! Kudos! 💯💯💯💯
She is a great minister, very calm and composed. And many of the questions which I thought I would be startled to face was very patiently explain by FM. Glad to see current government putting credible people in important ministries.
I don't think so, it's all framed and the real thing comes in real press meet as currently the a public guy asked an amazing question but we don't get an quality answer from FM...
@@Sri_Krish1555 That guy asked a very redundant question. And the response from FM was very adequate. At the time when govt is trying to increase tax base of the country and amount of tax he asked why is the govt doing so, well the country needs to. It's in developing phase and who else will contribute. And I can say the same thing about the brokers too. They too are the sleeping partner of clients.
@@rudeviper so you don't think that we are paying too much tax ? Really you don't even get 18% back for the term insurance or health insurance that we buy.... atleat they should wonder reducing percent based on the service that we using....and this just one example they are collecting tax on already taxed income and that too at higher percentage...go an check for a month of your expence and just add the gst you will figure it out how much of its going and I'm speaking of non luxurious products ( for our day to day use) and if you pair up with the low paying salary that we are getting from the company... you end up in lower middle class easliy in 10 years
@@Sri_Krish1555 No I don't think we are over paying taxes. The government's largest source of income is taxes. So I would judge them on how they eased taxation systems in India. How is majority of that being used whether in just welfare schemes or capital expenditures. I want that. I pay taxes in 30% income tax category. And I am perfectly fine with that. I pay 30% on my excess money. I pay low income tax of 13% under 15 lakhs . I can live a comfortable life in the remaining 87 percent money which I will further integrate in country's economy by spending. If I am earning more then I should contribute more. It's that simple.
*One is in lower middle class because he/she is earning like a lower middle class and not because of the taxes.* Taxes in India have only got lesser and lesser with time but if you expect government to almost ditch most of the taxes I am sorry that's not how it works.
If they in future reduce taxes further I would welcome that, but they Will only do that when they actually can without burdening the economy.
Love you for this informative interview,
Lord Ganesha is on your tongue when ask questions.
Expect more.
Well done , this is how our fourth pillar of democracy should ideally be. Glad some youtubers are filling the void modern news media had created by not questioning the representatives of the people . Really appreciate FM to come forward to answer the concerns of indian citizens and not hiding behind the scripted interviews as some of other very prominent leaders are doing currently .
Great continuation would be having education minister next since there is clearly gaps that needs to be addressed by government and education ministry in particular.
Modiji has given upto 30 interviews, go watch them also
I was not expecting Nirmala Sitharaman as a good finance minister but seeing this video and the way she explains the question was really mind blowing. Thanks Ganesh for bringing such podcast and asking right questions where mainstream media doesn't ask.
Now that's the greatest interview with Finance Miniter. You guys have disrupted Media, hope the youth of India gets connected to it more ❤️🔥🇮🇳
As a CA student its really great prodcast😊
Brilliant conversation with our FM! She was damn confident throughout the conversation.
She has reasons for her actions that’s why

i didn't expect it to be so informative, Also I didn't expect our financial minister to be so well versed with, well, Finance. Really great !!!
This has to be the finest interview with GoI on the internet that touches really core issues and plight of common citizen. Really amazing to see how well FM knows the root and technicalities of the subject.
Kudos to Ganesh!
Watching this video made me realise my interest in economics, very helpful video indeed.
As a CA student - Podcast is brilliant
In the middle of the interview I was almost unerringly routing for the anchor to ask questions which FM shouldn't feel its elementary, You have managed to pull off a superb one ,holding on to your nerve. Especially with a super intelligent & strong leader like our FM. Watt a lady phew... !, Have to give it to her to have accommodated. Well done mate !
I was enthusiastic of what examples or answers would she tell. No Politics, Just a Pure Discussion, GREAT 👍
Waiting for Modi ji podcast! Great job ! Very informative
Keep it up
I left India for the love of Tech. Now the grass is looking greener in India. This Govt makes people wanna believe in India in terms of progress (as it is defined today)
do not fool others...permanently come back to india and then tell to others....
Lol, you think this government is great because of the PR YOU see and the truth WE know, Live in India you'll know.
You have to make your contribution in terms of resources for next generation. Give back what you got from country. We still have citizens living in India not willing to pay tax complaining of lack of resources. This is chicken and egg. Unless we individuals listen to conscience and pay taxes or giving service in remote parts of India, it will be hard for India to become a developed nation.

😂😂 better make her resign for worst economic policies
One of the best pronouncements of the government policies and practices. I give credit to Modi for identifying and placing such bright candidates in various Ministries. When someone asked Jamshedji Tata to explain how he runs such a large number of conglomerates and still appears unfazed, he said, "All that I do is select the right person and set him free!"
key questions have been raised and answered, clarity on both sides is what is needed by the viewers and I would say this podcast has covered all aspects. This is very different from the mainstream media debates where proper reasoning has been given, instead of an hour of utter nonsense.
The media moght say anything but the way she answered the tough questions were phenomenal.
Her answer for taxation was just beating bushes
Whatever she said was absolute garbage.
@@goanmemereaper9031true what is difference between Congress and bjp boath are economic left only Sanjay gandhi till now Is a right wing on economics
First time saw a 1hr iterview of our FM, and mus t say she has great answers for all questions!. Its not about whos right or wrong, its about putting or making people look at certain things with different perspectives, which ma'am did.
I can't stress the fact that the questions asked were so engaging and the answers equally comprehensive and interesting!!! Couldn't take my eyes off even for a second! Kudos to the podcast team and hail our FM for being so articulate !! Loved the podcast!
It was an amazing podcast. I really enjoyed it. one of the best thing about this is I really understood complex topics in a frank way. I would like to appreciate Ganesh Sir for inviting Nirmala Ma'am. Your questions were necessary and relevant. India needs people like you.
