GP Funds and CIVs Rewrite the Exit Playbook
India's private-markets liquidity profile has shifted from a one-way pipeline of IPOs and strategic M&A toward a multi-layered \"liquidity stack.\" GP-led transactions, mainly continuation funds, have surged globally, with industry figures noting GP-led volumes hit roughly USD 70 billion in 2024, which is approximately a 31 per cent YoY rise.

Before You Hire AI: What Every Business Leader Should Know
Not long ago, I was chatting with the founder of a retail business who said something that stuck with me: “AI feels like an expensive gym membership; everyone talks about having one, but no one knows what to do with it.” He was spot on. For a lot of small and mid-sized businesses, AI still feels distant. There’s interest, yes. But there’s also confusion, cost concerns, and a big question mark around value. Now, there’s a new kind of AI being talked about: Agentic AI - intelligent, goal-oriented digital “agents” that can take on tasks like gig workers.

What India's Tourism Diplomacy Needs Now
Although well respected as an engine of economy, tourism in its essence is storytelling. The weaving of history, tradition and identity into experiences that shape global narratives. What could serve as a more powerful channel of diplomacy than this expansive forum of cultural immersion? For India, a nation with staggering diversity of art, architecture, craft, cuisine, language and landscape, there has never been a more opportune or pressing time to recognise tourism not only as an industry but as a multilateral soft power with growing international reach.

THE NICOBAR NARRATIVE BUILDER
When you step into Nicobar’s headquarters, you don’t just enter a studio—you step into a philosophy. Once a swimming pool, the studio is now an airy space that embraces nature, designed deliberately to avoid cutting any trees. Conference rooms spill into open air, shaded by sprawling greens, creating a workspace where collaboration feels organic. “The best thing we did was keeping the ground and first floor connected,” says Raul Rai, co-founder of Nicobar. “It makes teams feel integrated.” For Rai, nature is the silent architect of their office, and people are its heartbeat. Rai’s own journey mirrors Nicobar’s ethos of blending the global with the deeply Indian. After spending nearly two decades in America and Europe, he returned to India, drawn not by business opportunities but by an intangible pull—culture, tradition, and a warmth he missed abroad.

The Future of India will be decided by how It builds today
Every era has its defining project of national ambition. For the United States, it was the interstate highway system that stitched together a continental economy. For China, it was a sweeping wave of industrial corridors, ports, and high-speed rail that redrew global supply chains. For India, that moment is now. The infrastructure blueprint laid out under Vision 2047 is not just about concrete and steel, it is about whether a young democracy can scale its economy, transition its energy, and secure its place in an uncertain world order.
