At Foundation for Economic Development (FED), we believe the evidence clearly shows that economic, GDP-measured growth is critical to improving everyone's standard of living; that it is the single-biggest determinant of human development outcomes such as improved health, education, and employment. Growth is good! It enables everything we cherish - employment, equity and even gender equality! This podcast features insightful conversations with leaders from industry and academia, who share their different perspectives on India's economic growth trajectory, and what we must do to grow further.
