The world economy is undergoing a seismic shift. After decades of globalization and interdependence, nations are redrawing the map of trade, capital, and technology. Welcome to the age of geoeconomic fragmentation — where economic alliances, supply chains, and financial systems are being reshaped by politics, security, and national priorities.In this episode of Open Dialogue, Sameer Shetty speaks with Neeraj Gambhir, Group Executive, Treasury, Markets & Wholesale Banking Products, Axis Bank. Together, they trace how post–World War II integration gave rise to today’s interconnected world and why that system is now being reimagined.They explore the evolution from Bretton Woods to WTO, the rise of the US dollar as the reserve currency, and how recent shocks have exposed the vulnerabilities of global interdependence. The discussion explores the weaponization of trade and payments, the resurgence of tariffs, and the push for onshoring critical industries like semiconductors, defense, and clean energy.Beyond global trends, the episode offers sharp insights into what investors, businesses, and policymakers should watch as the world transitions from “just-in-time” globalization to “just-in-case” resilience.Speakers –Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankNeeraj Gambhir: Group Executive, Treasury, Markets & Wholesale Banking Products, Axis Bank🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on global economics, India’s strategic future, and the forces reshaping markets and trade.#GeoeconomicFragmentation #GlobalTrade #IndiaStrategy #DefenseSpending #SupplyChain #Semiconductors #EnergySecurity #Atmanirbhar #GoldRepatriation #Resilience #ReelCutsSUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].
