'Timepass' Is India's Way of Lying Flat Opportunities are shrinking, and opting out is becoming a lifestyle for young, educated people.

The cohort of Indian youth that has grown up with a surfeit of abundance is too small … until now. Give it 10 years. In attitudes, and absence of effort, India’s ‘timepass’ generation may not be that different from its ‘lying-flat’ Chinese counterpart. Free to read. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

India’s Cities Are Mired In a Cycle of Mediocrity They have neither resources, nor leadership, and average investment per resident is stuck below $150 a year.

A free-to-read link to my latest @opinion.bsky.social column on why Indian municipalities don’t even spend $150 per capita on capex, why the municipal bond market is just 0.01% of GDP, and why Mumbai’s BMC, the country’s richest urban body, had a “cooker scandal.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
