When every indicator points to stress and strain and global brokerages start using the term "structural slowdown," CII continues to contribute to the government's echo chamber.

How do you cope with a problem when you do not even acknowledge it exists?

I've been listening to This Moment on a loop for a while. I thought Zakir Hussain's life was well lived, but now I think he went way too soon. He was so fab even so late in life.

I am crying all over again today.

ISB changed its logo a couple of weeks back and it led to similar outrage. TBF to IIM-A, it did a better job than ISB.
These are the old and new logos. (Image from a Times of India report.) The new logo is pathetic.

Also noteworthy? That the interest rates that elderly people, who survive on the yield on their long term savings receive, is now lower than the attrition caused by inflation.
Excellent arrangement to transfer wealth from the vulnerable to the fat cats.
So, where are we at?

Inflation is now higher than the real GDP growth rate? Hence, any growth you see in corporate revenue in nominal terms has more inflation than real growth in it.

That's where we are at.
