  • Food Processing PLI Scheme by IMA Research
    Nov 14 2024

    The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, launched in 2021-22 as part of the Make in India initiative, aims to strengthen India's manufacturing across key sectors. With an allocation of Rs 109 billion, the food processing PLI scheme leverages India’s agricultural resources to boost production, exports and reduce import dependency. It incentivises incremental revenue and capital expenditure, driving investments and capacity creation.

    We recently interviewed several member-companies that are participating in the food processing PLI scheme, to better understand their experience with the programme and any challenges they may be facing. This podcast summarises our findings, which hold lessons for similar programmes across sectors.

  • Cybersecurity with Amit Dubey
    Nov 12 2024

    Cybersecurity risks continue to rise, with a reported 20% of Indian users falling victim to cyber threats in the first quarter of 2024 alone and several high-profile cases recently coming to light. Scams are becoming more sophisticated, targeting even well-informed individuals. At the same time, with rising penalties for non-compliance, companies are under pressure to tighten their defences.

    At a recent cross-Forum online session, renowned cyber-security expert Amit Dubey shed light on the current cybersecurity landscape and outlined some best practices. This podcast summarises these discussions.

  • Update: Trump by Adit Jain
    Nov 9 2024

    Donald Trump’s mandate, coupled with the fact that the Republicans are expected to control both the Senate and House, will give him ample sway over Washington. The fear propaganda tom-tommed by the Democratic party and the liberal media on Trump’s operating style, intended to raise alarm, fell to the wayside.

    In his previous term, he cut taxes and deregulated the economy. The momentum of growth that America witnessed over the past four years is largely accountable to his policies. Often forgotten the fact that Mr Trump funded research for covid-19 vaccines, even if he dithered in urging Americans to take them. He displayed potency in his dealings with China something that the Obama administration failed to do. The Abraham accords that brought about diplomatic engagement between Israel and the Sunni monarchies, is the critical reason why the middle-east has as yet survived a bloody conflict.

    Mr Trump will cut domestic taxes and impose import duties on countries with whom America suffers a serious trade imbalance. That might affect Indian exports and visas for IT companies and they need to be prepared. This podcast explains.
