BRINGING GLOBAL EXCELLENCE TO INDIA

IT WAS the National Education Policy, 2020 (NEP) which among other important education reforms in India, laid stress on internationalisation of education in India. It called for encouraging high performing Indian universities to set up campuses overseas, and similarly, noted that selected universities, those among the top ranking 100 universities in the world would be facilitated to operate in India.

Subsequently, in November 2023 the University Grants Commission (UGC) released regulations allowing foreign higher educational institutions (FHEIs) ranked among the top 500 globally to establish campuses in India with autonomy in academics, faculty hiring, and fee structures. These approvals come at a critical juncture where these foreign universities could possibly reduce brain drain by retaining Indian students and enhance the overall quality of higher education in India. In line with these initiatives and approvals, from August 2025, the University of Southampton, a part of the Russell Group, a collective of 24 leading universities in the United Kingdom (UK) will start its operations in India with its new campus in Delhi NCR (Gurugram).

ECONOMY'S HIDDEN HAND: STREET IS BOOMING BUT THE BOARDROOM IS NOT

EIGHT-POINT-TWO per cent. India's economy has rarely looked stronger: growth is among the quickest anywhere, quarterly numbers keep beating expectations, and the India-decade narrative grows louder. Yet inside corporate boardrooms, the soundtrack is different. On earnings calls, optimism is muted and demand signals remain uneven. The GDP is sprinting, but the consumer is not, an FMCG chief quipped. The contradiction is stark: national output surges while corporate India clears its throat.

DECODING THE CAPITAL MARKETS

AS WE STEP INTO 2026, the moment seems opportune to pause, reflect and take stock of one of the most animated corners of India's capital markets - the initial public offering (IPO) space. In this issue, we examine the forces shaping the primary markets, the lessons investors are learning the hard way and the questions that will determine how capital is raised. By any measure, 2025 was a blockbuster year for India's primary markets. More than 100 IPOs hit the bourses, together raising over Rs 1.7 lakh crore. From marquee, brand-led mainboard issues to a surge in SME listings, the pipeline barely paused. Strong domestic liquidity, record retail participation and a steady mutual fund bid ensured that most offerings sail through the subscription phase, often with eye-catching demand multiples. On the surface, it appeared to be a golden period for entrepreneurship and raising capital.

Al Ambition to Accountable Execution

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY'S (IT'S) 2026 inflection point in India will be less about chasing Artificial Intelligence (AI) hype and more about proving industrial-scale execution. The conversation has clearly moved beyond pilots to production, forcing companies to confront uncomfortable truths around cost discipline, governance and talent depth. Outcome-based pricing, platformised delivery and deeper hyperscaler partnerships point to a maturing services model, but they also raise the stakes. Vendors can no longer hide behind effort metrics when value is under scrutiny.
