According to the latest projections by the IMF, India is now the world's fourth-largest economy. Government officials, including the CEO of NITI Aayog B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, have expressed confidence that India could soon overtake Germany to claim the third spot. Adding to the optimism, the World Bank recently reported that extreme poverty in the country fell to 5.3% in 2022–2023. A recent report by SBI noted that the poverty rate in India could now be in the range of 4%.  But what do these numbers mean for the broader population?

Four months ago, food delivery giant Zomato decided to run an experiment. If you are a regular patron of the app, you may have noticed a tab called ‘Quick' appear, that promised 15-minute deliveries in a bunch of metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi NCR. Now, the company's founder and CEO made an interesting statement last year that explains why it would choose to try out this experiment. He was asked a question about how quick commerce has changed customer expectations around food delivery. And he said, quite simply – “Blinkit is fast, but that has made Zomato seem slow.” He has a point. You may recall that Zomato subsidiary Blinkit launched its in-house 10-minute snack delivery service called Bistro last year, just one day after the very popular Zepto cafe was launched. Swiggy Instamart meanwhile, launched a similar service called Snacc. In many ways, 2024 was the year 10-minute food delivery became the next frontier of quick commerce.Naturally, the biggest food delivery giants in the country did not want to be left behind. So while Zomato launched Quick, Swiggy rolled out its own ultra-fast delivery service, Bolt. But here's where things get interesting. While announcing its Q4 results last week, Zomato announced that its four-month experiment was very quickly coming to an end. In a letter to shareholders, Deepinder Goyal explained that they just could not see a path to profitability without compromising on customer experience.The Ken's COO and the host of Two by Two Praveen Gopal Krishnan explains what changed. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of February 17 -An earthquake of 4.0 magnitude rocked parts of Delhi-NCR early this morning. There were no immediate reports of any damage or injuries. The earthquake has its epicentre in New Delhi. It struck at a depth of five kilometres at 5:36 am, according to the National Center for Seismology. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also tweeted about the tremors felt in Delhi and nearby areas. He urged everyone to stay calm and follow safety precautions, and that people must stay alert for possible aftershocks. Authorities are keeping a close watch on the situation. -Coming back to markets, on Friday, the Indian equity market fell for the eighth straight day, marking its first such decline in two years. This downturn was driven by persistent foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows and growing concerns over potential retaliatory tariffs from the United States. After reaching a record high of ₹478 lakh crore in September 2024, the combined market valuation has declined by nearly ₹80 lakh crore over the past four and a half months. -With the earnings season now behind us, investor focus will shift to trends in FII flows and currency movements for further cues. Additionally, speculation regarding US tariffs and their impact on global trade will remain a key factor to watch. -Vinod Nair of Geojit Financial Services expects volatility to stay elevated until there is clarity on tariffs and a recovery in corporate earnings. -This morning, the GIFTNifty was lower, trading at a discount of nearly 40 pts from Nifty Futures Friday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market. -Stocks to watch: BHEL, Alembic Pharma, Zydus Lifesciences, Aditya Birla Fashion, Utkarsh Small Finance Bank, Wipro -Looking at global cues, Asian stocks struggled for direction this morning as traders navigate increasing tensions between the US and European Union and looming central bank monetary policy decisions. -Australian shares dipped while Japan swung between gains and losses. Futures in Hong Kong also pointed to an early drop. The dollar was little changed. Treasury futures dipped with cash trading closed globally due to Presidents' Day in the US. -Investors will also be looking to China stocks after a gauge of US-listed mainland shares climbed 2.3% on Friday amid a euphoria over artificial intelligence companies. A potential meeting this week between President Xi Jinping and e-commerce icon Jack Ma could be the next catalyst to extend the rally in China's stocks. -In commodities, oil extended its loss to a fourth day. Oil fell Friday as concerns of ample supply and Trump's tariffs hurting demand overshadow US threats to Iranian crude exports. Gold was steady. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Conversations and Encounters Inside the Delhi Metro The Delhi Metro, beyond being a mode of transportation, serves as a microcosm of the city itself, bringing together people from all walks of life. Inside its sleek compartments, daily commuters engage in a rich tapestry of informal chats and encounters, creating a unique urban culture. From fleeting exchanges about delayed trains to spirited discussions on politics, cricket, and Bollywood, the conversations are as diverse as the passengers. Students compare notes on exams, professionals discuss office woes, and elderly passengers share anecdotes about a city that has changed before their eyes. Some encounters are serendipitous—strangers bonding over a shared alma mater, a lost object being returned, or travelers offering tips for navigating the city. Others are humorous and fleeting, such as passengers cracking jokes about the metro's infamous rush-hour crowds or offering unsolicited advice to someone on the phone. Despite the occasional chaos, the metro also fosters moments of kindness. People offer their seats to the elderly, share earphones to listen to a trending song, or help tourists find their way. These everyday interactions transform the Delhi Metro into more than just a transit system—it becomes a space where stories are shared, connections are formed, and the pulse of Delhi's life is felt. In these brief yet meaningful encounters, the metro reveals the essence of the city's spirit: vibrant, chaotic, and undeniably human.

In this episode, host Paul Tyler broadcasts from Noida, India, where he visits Zinnia's offices and speaks with their leadership team including Josh Everett (CEO of Zinnia India), Kapil Bhardwaj (Head of Global Processing), Pawan Choudhary (CTO), Rajan Agarwal (Head of Exchange Solutions), and Eti Gupta (Head of Marketing). Key highlights: Zinnia's India operations manage an impressive 1.4 million calls annually and handle over 55% of North America's variable annuity business, reflecting their critical role in the company's global strategy. Once viewed as a back-office function, India's operations have transformed into a Global Innovation Center (GIC), driving innovation and strategic growth. This shift leverages India's diverse talent pool across key cities: Bangalore stands out as a hub for AI and tech innovation, Chennai excels in engineering and operational capabilities, and Delhi/NCR is renowned for its deep insurance expertise and skilled knowledge workers. The conversation focuses on how insurance companies need to evolve, with key recommendations to: Embrace transparency in operations Simplify complex processes Be bold in adopting new technologies Stay adaptable to changing trends Focus on building partnerships rather than vendor relationships The episode provides insights into how insurance companies can leverage India's talent and technology capabilities to transform their operations and improve customer experience.

Last month though, things went crazy in Delhi NCR's real estate market. A DLF penthouse property in Gurgaon, a little over 16,000 square feet in size, sold for a mind-blogging Rs 190 crores. Just the stamp duty was Rs 13 crores, apparently.  What really shocked the internet though was the per-square-foot price—Rs 180,000. When The Ken reporter Rounak Kumar Gunjan first came across it, he immediately forwarded the news article to some of his friends who are planning to buy flats to give them a sense of the madness out out there. But his frinds, he says, pulled off a UNO reverse.Because they told him something else about India's real-estate space that was even more intriguing. An increasingly common sinister pattern in home loans that he has since confirmed with two bankers and two insurance industry executives. Tune in!Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, January 6, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started. China has a new virus! There is a rising concern about respiratory infections in the country, particularly with an increase in cases of Human Metapneumovirus among children under 14. This virus, part of the same family as the respiratory syncytial virus, has sparked worries due to its symptoms and transmission methods, which are reminiscent of COVID-19. Unlike COVID-19, however, there's no vaccine or specific treatment for HMPV, adding to the global health anxieties. The increase in cases, especially noted in northern China, comes during the usual flu season but has raised some eyebrows globally due to fears of a pandemic-like spread, reminiscent of the early COVID-19 days. However, health experts note that HMPV isn't new; it's been around since 2001 and pops up seasonally in places like the US and UK. Jessica Jani explains what the new virus is and how it could affect the human body, in today's Primer.  Donald Trump's second presidential term has reignited concerns over H-1B visas, critical for India's $250-billion IT services sector. Historically, these visas have been essential for employing highly skilled non-immigrants in the US. However, Indian tech companies are less vulnerable today than in the past due to a strategic shift towards hiring more Americans and reducing dependency on H-1B visas. Jas Bardia spoke to IT industry insiders who told him that IT companies are hiring more locally in the US, which decreases the reliance on H-1B visas. US firms now employ more Americans than H-1B visa holders in these roles. Data shows that major Indian IT firms, including Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and Wipro, have significantly reduced their H-1B visa applications over the last decade. 2024 marked a significant increase in ultra-luxury real estate transactions in India, with cities like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru seeing record deals for homes costing over Rs 100 crore. Speaking to Mint's Khushi Malhotra, Ritesh Mehta of JLL highlighted the growth in this sector, noting high-value transactions on Gurgaon's Golf Course Road and South Mumbai's Malabar Hill. This surge reflects a robust confidence in ultra-luxury real estate as a stable investment. The data from PropEquity revealed 13 such transactions between January and October last year, a slight decrease from 21 in 2023. Anarock Group's data also shows that 99 ultra-luxury residential deals worth Rs 8,069 crore were closed over the past three years.India's new Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is causing a stir with its latest draft rules, especially around the new requirement for parents to verify their identity when their kids want to use online platforms. This proposal is sparking quite a debate about its practicality and the potential headaches it could cause for both families and companies. The draft rules suggest parents need to prove they're really the guardians using digital IDs like the Digilocker platform, Souvik Das reports. While this is meant to keep kids safe online, it's also raising concerns about the extra burden it places on companies that now have to manage this verification process. Ketan Parekh, once celebrated as a prime mover of India's stock market, found himself implicated in a new scandal. Decades after being banned for a major 2001 market scam, Parekh is accused of using insider information to manipulate trades, profiting ₹38.7 crore. Additionally, a Singapore-based trader linked to him earned ₹27.07 crore in commissions, leading the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to seek a return of ₹65.77 crore from those involved. The investigation, lasting over two and a half years, involved deep dives into financial records, phone data, and digital communications across multiple platforms. Sebi's detailed probe revealed Parekh's use of various tactics to disguise his involvement, including using multiple mobile numbers registered under different names and employing pseudonyms. Neha Joshi takes an in-depth look at the 30-month investigation undertaken by the market regulator, which ended up with Parekh's implication.

The real-estate market of Delhi-NCR is an anomaly. The Ken spoke to a bunch of potential homebuyers who are looking for premium apartments with budgets of up to 2.5 crore rupees.  Real-estate experts are telling them to give up on their dreams. Lately, the national capital has been facing an acute supply crunch of new housing projects, especially in the mid-premium segment (80 lakh to 2 crore rupees) depending on the city.   Delhi NCR has witnessed the sharpest fall in inventory in this segment in the last few years.   Real-estate prices in turn have shot up far beyond the reach of most buyers. But it's not like demand for housing has gone down because of these sky high prices.  People are still buying tens of thousands of these mid-premium houses in and around Delhi.   So the obvious question then is: why aren't more residential housing units being built?  *This episode was first published on 12 Sept 2024

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, October 11, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started. A stalwart of India's corporate world passed away on Wednesday night. We'll bring you some stories on his legacy and work over the decades. After retiring as the chair of Tata Sons in 2012, Ratan Tata shifted his focus to supporting startups through his investment vehicle, RNT Associates. By 2019, he was actively engaging with budding entrepreneurs on Instagram. However, he was clear that getting funded didn't guarantee success. Tata's investments, though modest, were a mark of credibility in the startup community, especially when capital was hard to come by. His approach wasn't just about writing checks; he invested in mentoring the founders, focusing on their long-term vision and passion rather than immediate financial metrics. Mint's startups editor Ranjani Raghavan takes a look at the former Tata group chairman's vision for Indian startups. Ratan Tata, the visionary driving force behind Tata Motors, transformed it from a local truck maker into a global automotive powerhouse. During his tenure, the Tata Nano, the world's cheapest car, was launched, aimed at democratizing car ownership in India. Though it didn't hit commercial targets, the Nano exemplified Tata's visionary approach. Under his leadership in 1998, Tata Motors introduced the Indica, India's first indigenously developed passenger car. A landmark moment came in 2008 when Tata Motors acquired the iconic British brands Jaguar and Land Rover for 2.3 billion dollars from Ford. This was a stunning reversal of fortune, as Ford had previously considered buying Tata's car division. Tata turned these struggling brands into profitable entities, significantly enhancing Tata Motors' stature and revenues. Alisha Sachdev writes about Ratan Tata's legacy at one of India's biggest automobile companies.  For over a century, the Tata group has been a cornerstone of the Indian industry, spanning multiple sectors. While JRD Tata was at the helm for 51 long years, his son Ratan was the one who did the heavy lifting. He took over right as India was on the cusp of opening up its economy. An opportunity, for sure — but it also would have led to a lot of challenges. Sundeep Khanna writes about the leadership at the Tata group, from JRD to RNT to now, N. Chandrasekaran, and how it has shaped not only the conglomerate, but also corporate India as a whole. He takes a retrospective look at its progress, pitfalls, and even some controversies over the years. The Indian equity market's rally has paused, with the Nifty50 index down 3% in the first seven trading sessions of October. India's volatility index rose 13%, indicating heightened risk aversion. Harsha Jethmalani writes that foreign investors are showing renewed interest in China, following the announcement of a stimulus package. That has led to investors pulling money out of Indian markets. This further raises the possibility of India's equities underperforming against the broader Asia markets, according to a Nomura report from 7 October. India's commercial office sector is set for a record-breaking year, signalling a strong bounce back from the pandemic lows. The sector is expected to surpass its previous high, with anticipated leases reaching over 70 million square feet across major cities by the end of 2024. This surge is largely driven by the return of multinational corporations to physical offices and a significant increase in demand from global capability centres and flexible office operators. Bengaluru is leading the charge in space absorption, followed by Delhi-NCR and Hyderabad, with tech companies, financial services and manufacturers actively snapping up office space. Madhurima Nandy explains how this leasing boom is not just good news for real estate but also a positive sign for the economy.

The real-estate market of Delhi-NCR is an anomaly. The Ken spoke to a bunch of potential homebuyers who are looking for premium apartments with budgets of up to 2.5 crore rupees.  Real-estate experts are telling them to give up on their dreams. Lately, the national capital has been facing an acute supply crunch of new housing projects, especially in the mid-premium segment (80 lakh to 2 crore rupees) depending on the city.   Delhi NCR has witnessed the sharpest fall in inventory in this segment in the last few years.   Real-estate prices in turn have shot up far beyond the reach of most buyers. But it's not like demand for housing has gone down because of these sky high prices.  People are still buying tens of thousands of these mid-premium houses in and around Delhi.   So the obvious question then is: why aren't more residential housing units being built?  From listeners: Praveen: Partner (2007)Sravan: The InternAnish: Lord of the Rings trilogyFrom hosts:Snigdha: The Perfect CoupleRahel: Call Me BaeDaybreak is now on WhatsApp at +918971108379.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's friday, August 9, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:Indian stock market benchmarks—the Nifty and Sensex—resumed their downward march on Thursday, falling by 0.73 per cent.The Reserve Bank of India kept the repo rate steady at 6.5 per cent for the ninth time in a row, pointing to a slower-than-expected drop in inflation. The decision aligns with the ongoing scrutiny of rising food prices, which greatly influence the consumer price index. Though some members advocated for a rate cut, the majority voted to maintain the current monetary stance. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said while India's economic growth appears robust and forex reserves have soared to $675 billion, achieving the 4% inflation target remains challenging. Persistently high food prices, especially in June when vegetable prices rose sharply, are a key concern. Shayan Ghosh reports on the central bank's decision amid slow disinflation.Foreign airlines are increasingly tapping India's rich pool of aviation talent amid rising travel demand. Airlines such as Riyadh Air, Turkish Airlines and Saudia are conducting recruitment drives in India to hire cabin crew, particularly for flights with many Indian travellers. Mint's aviation correspondent Anu Sharma spoke to senior executives and other industry insiders, who highlighted the strategic importance of the Indian market to global aviation.Remember Ramalinga Raju? The founder of Satyam Computers confessed to a 1.5 billion dollar accounting fraud in 2009. Now Brane Enterprises, a firm linked to his younger son Byrraju Rama Raju, is in hot water. The Hyderabad-based company recently to let go of more than 1,500 employees and hasn't paid salaries for the past three months. It is also behind on some of its financial obligations such as tax deductions and provident fund contributions. While management promised to clear dues by August 12, Mint's Samiksha Goel reports that employees are skeptical because of previous broken promises.Challa Sreenivasulu Setty is gearing up to take the helm at State Bank of India, India's largest lender, for three years starting August 28. He steps into a complex financial landscape in which the bank confronts a noticeable disparity between robust loan growth and slower deposit accumulation, alongside rising delinquencies in unsecured loan products such as Xpress Credit. Despite these challenges, the bank's balance sheet remains strong. Shayan Ghosh reports that industry experts see potential in Setty's leadership to enhance strategic areas such as deposit market share, SME growth, and digital initiatives.Irfan Razack, chairman of real estate developer Prestige Group, has been methodically expanding the company's footprint. Starting with Bengaluru, the group gradually entered other southern cities. Despite tempting offers from Mumbai, he kept his distance until a promising project at Pali Hill caught his eye. This marked Prestige's entry into Mumbai's real estate market, which now represents a significant portion of its sales. Razack's ambitions didn't stop there. He's now setting sights on Delhi-NCR, challenging established giants such as DLF and Godrej Properties. Mint's Madhurima Nandy looks at what the future holds for the Prestige Group.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast. Let us know by writing to us at feedback@livemint.com.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, July 16, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:The Indian market's benchmark indices —Nifty and Sensex—inched up during Monday's trading session to settle at fresh closing highs. The Indian government is exploring an exciting proposal: getting public sector banks to take equity stakes in state-owned specialized infrastructure financiers. The spotlight is on the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development. This plan is part of a broader effort to supercharge India's infrastructure development, which is already set for a massive investment boost. In fact, the 2024 interim budget has earmarked a hefty 11.1 trillion rupees for capital expenditures, a solid 11.1% jump from last year. Mint's Mihir Mishra and Shayan Ghosh report on the plan that focuses on increasing the capital base of DFIs to 1 trillion rupees, utilizing contributions from banks with robust capital adequacy ratios.Macquarie Group, JSW Group, and Actis have thrown their hats in the ring to acquire Gurugram-based renewable energy platform O2 Power. The companies have even signed a non-disclosure agreement. Mint's economy and policy reporter Utpal Bhaskar reports that the deal, managed by Barclays, is set to potentially value O2 Power at around 1 billion dollars in equity with an enterprise value of about 1.5 billion dollars. O2 Power, counts EQT and Temasek as major investments. The company is eyeing an ambitious expansion to reach a capacity of 5 gigawatts; it's already close, with a current capacity of 4 gigawatts. The acquisition deal is poised to be a landmark in the renewable energy sector, reflecting growing interest in sustainable investments.Kota's coaching centres, once the epicentre for competitive exam preparation, are seeing a notable shift in their student base. With new branches opening in cities like Patna, New Delhi, and Latur, these centres are attracting local students who would have traditionally travelled to Kota. This shift is reshaping the coaching landscape, leading to reduced enrollments in Kota itself and impacting the city's once-thriving educational ecosystem. Mint's Mansi Verma spoke to faculty members across various institutes, including Allen Career Institute. Representatives from Allen highlighted that while Kota is dealing with salary cuts due to fewer students, new centres in other cities are booming.Did you buy a flat in a stressed real estate project and are now waiting for the possession? Thousands in Delhi-NCR bought units in projects across the region around the turn of the last decade - only to find their investments stuck in limbo. While the Supreme Court intervened in 2019, asking state-owned construction corporation NBCC to take over the construction at Amrapali Group's Noida projects, involving 38,000 units, the stressed project landscape otherwise looks very rocky. In 2023, the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) reported that about 412,000 residential units, valued at 4.08 trillion rupees, were affected by halted real estate projects across India.

How do the disposable get marked out? Which institutions have cognitive control over you? How do you develop railways in Argentina? Who changes institutions? Is it always from ‘within'? Do institutions help us with the ‘higher order' decisions? Are military, markets, prisons, families, religions, borders, languages, & villages coercive in the same way? Are prisons (in reality) chaotic? What's the price of joining an institution? Is there conformity of opinion around you? Do religions evolve? How do you think of the family? Do institutionalization and socialization go hand in hand? ‘When' do markets need to be regulated? Are cryptocurrencies really a counter-current? Does our continuous search for meaning gives Religion its power? Do universities live longer than political organizations? What are universities from the perspective of the dropout? Does the world need one anchor currency? Can algorithms be inclusive of local issues? Have institutions, thus far, been spatially bound? What would planetary scale institutions look like in the future? ‘How' are the marginal voices to be heard? &, are nation states the best institutional form for the modern world?

Everyday Reading: Middlebrow Magazines and Book Publishing in Post-Independence India (U Massachusetts Press, 2024) is a timely book on the history of print culture and the creation of publics in postcolonial South Asia. During the two difficult decades immediately following the 1947 Indian Independence, a new, commercially successful print culture emerged that articulated alternatives to dominant national narratives. Through what Aakriti Mandhwani defines as middlebrow magazines--like Delhi Press's Saritā--and the first paperbacks in Hindi--Hind Pocket Books--North Indian middle classes cultivated new reading practices that allowed them to reimagine what it meant to be a citizen. Rather than focusing on individual sacrifices and contributions to national growth, this new print culture promoted personal pleasure and other narratives that enabled readers to carve roles outside of official prescriptions of nationalism, austerity, and religion. Utilizing a wealth of previously unexamined print culture materials, as well as paying careful attention to the production of commercial publishing companies and the reception of ordinary reading practices--particularly those of women--Everyday Reading offers fresh perspectives into book history, South Asian literary studies, and South Asian gender studies. Aakriti Mandhwani is an Associate Professor in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Shiv Nadar University, Delhi NCR. She is interested in book and magazine history, cultural studies, popular literature, South Asian and Hindi Literature, literary history and the history of libraries in South Asia. Her previous publications include Indian Genre Fiction: Pasts and Future Histories, edited by Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay, Aakriti Mandhwani, and Anwesha Maity and journal articles on Hindi archives, language mixing and Hindi pulp fiction.

Global slowdown and an increased scrutiny has put an end to India's roaring startup party. From minting new unicorns almost every week, we have just one this year so far. But there are signs of thaw in this funding winter. And this time, desi businessmen are leading the charge. But who are these new saviours of Indian startups?  Startup founders can also learn a lot from traditional businesses. There is no end to the success stories of Indian entrepreneurs. One such leading figure passed away last week. Prithvi Raj Singh Oberoi, who was famous as Biki Oberoi, has left behind a legacy that will inspire people for years to come. But what after him? What next for Oberoi Group?  Meanwhile, Oberoi Reality's recent move to enter Delhi-NCR market pushed its share by over 4% this week. Moving on, shares of Manappuram Finance and Muthoot Finance have been in demand on the bourses, ever since the duo announced their September quarter results. The shares have jumped up to 13 per cent as against 1 per cent rise in the benchmark Sensex index. As gold prices continue to rise, will the rally in gold financiers continue? Or will it lose its steam amid the RBI's recent directive on unsecured loans? Interestingly, part-time member of the Economic Advisory Council to the PM, Nilesh Shah, isn't impressed by Indian's love for the yellow metal. Shah claimed this week that India's dream of becoming a 5 trillion-dollar economy could have been achieved “long before” if not for the habit of importing gold. Well, many would disagree, as it's an age-old debate. Moving on, another age-old debate is echoing in the Supreme Court chamber. Four opposition-ruled states have approached the top court, alleging governor's overreach. In this episode of the podcast today, we tell more about the recent controversy and also decode the governor's power. 

"Wazirpur is one of the 29 industrial areas spread across Delhi – NCR. The place is overrun with hundreds of small-scale factories which have attracted thousands of low-income migrant workers – usually from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Bengal. Scattered among the factories are the jhuggis/ slums which these workers call home.  "The recording is made one evening on a busy street in the Wazirpur Industrial Area. Vendors walk by, selling all sorts of things from clothes, slippers, utensils, cosmetics, old radios, meat, vegetables, and bangles. Most vendors have smalls mics or recorded tapes through which they advertise their prices. One such vendor is heard through a mic saying ‘Pyaaz das rupiya kilo' (Onions 10 rupees per kg), whose sound by the end gets mixed with its own organic delay." Recorded by Bariya.

This gap between demand and supply has historically lead to the proliferation of unregulated PGs and hostels, which many young Indians are forced to rely on, in spite of the lack of standardized quality, safety amenities and often hygiene. Today, however, things are changing, with the emergence and growth of professionally managed and curated rental options for India's millennials and Gen Zs, through both student housing, and co-living. Co-living is a community focused residential format giving occupants professionally managed spaces, standardized services, amenities and above all a like-minded community to engage with and belong to. A civil engineer by education with MBA from the Fuqua School of Business, Rishi worked in REITs and Wealth Management in the USA, before returning to India, where he decided to leverage his industry experience and family legacy to address the need for quality housing options for younger people in India, by founding Hyphen. Hyphen currently operates across Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, but aims to expand into new markets and sub-sectors in the near future.Today, Rishi talks to us about the need for coliving, the range of offerings in the market, and the prospects for the co-living market in India, in the foreseeable future.So without further ado, get ready for some Concrete Conversations!Background Music by FlowerbrainHave questions about Real Estate?
