India: Can Modi Turn the Elephant Around?
Modi, Brooks Entwistle, Ravesh Agarwal, Praveen Chakravarti, Manjit Singh
A panel of experts including BSE Strategic Advisor Praveen Chakravarti assessed the first year of the Modi administration, highlighting a significant shift in global investor sentiment and policy reforms like reduced registration times despite challenges in judicial enforcement and federal constraints.

Ultimately, the discussion projected a high probability of a second term for Modi and an upbeat market outlook, contingent on navigating upcoming state elections and global capital flow risks.
