A REGULATORY NIGHTMARE IN CRYPTO - Bhanu Sripada

Image
With governments growing unstable and citizens losing trust in sovereign national currencies, cryptocurrencies offer a universally accepted peer-to-peer transaction solution, which was the original intended purpose of bitcoin. Furthermore, they can be customized based on the application to suit the purpose. Governments and central banks are now trying to come forward with their own cryptocurrencies. This begs the question of the ability of governments to scan the nooks and crannies of this neo currency frontier for illegal activities, and if cryptocurrencies would usher in a peer-to-peer revolution, a new era of financing of crime or terrorism or both.    According to various research papers and articles published (even by the IMF and The New York Times), Bitcoin was a perfect medium of exchange for illicit activities on the dark web where the users could get away with using Bitcoin as a currency, as it is near impossible to trace it back to them. Close to one-half of Bitcoin ...

Balancing Act: Addressing India's Growing Credit-Deposit Gap and Its Financial Implications - Vansh Aggarwal

Reviving India's Manufacturing Sector: Government Incentives as a Game-Changer - Raghav Modani

  Reviving India's Manufacturing Sector: Government Incentives as a Game-Changer India has experienced the fastest growth rate among emerging economies, driven by its service sector and increasing consumer demand. However, the manufacturing sector, considered a crucial driver of long-term growth, remains largely underdeveloped. Currently, Indian manufacturing employs only 11% of the workforce and its contribution to the country’s GDP has remained stagnant. This contrasts sharply with other growing economies like Vietnam and China, where manufacturing significantly contributes to economic growth.  To give a scale of comparison, China, recognized as the "factory of the world," contributes 28.7% to global manufacturing output, supported by a well-established ecosystem with advanced infrastructure, extensive supply chains, and economies of scale. Manufacturing accounts for 27% of China's GDP, driven by strong government policies, investment in industrial parks, and a focu...
