India's 29th state Telangana, was formed out of the previously existing state of Andhra Pradesh on June 2nd, 2014. It came into being after decades of battle by Telangana activists arguing that state resources in Andhra Pradesh are disproportionately allocated to more developed regions to the south. Risen among skepticism, India's newest baby is proving its mettle. It is trying to create a hub that is unlike others - eliminating bureaucracy, roadblocks and lethargy in business- a symbol of modern India. Attracting the attention of the world's largest enterprises and budding startups, Telangana is being called "California of the east". This insight attempts to understand why this state could open exciting avenues for investment.

On Feb 13th, 2016, "Make in India" week was flagged off in Mumbai. 5000 delegates from 190 companies based in 60 countries participated in the event and it was nothing short of a carnival celebrating the prospects of a brighter future for India’s manufacturing industry. This was the first of many events planned for Narendra Modi's flagship Make in India campaign launched in 2014. The initiative hopes to attract capital and technological investment to India and make it the top destination globally for foreign direct investment. Make in India is an exciting venture. In the following insight, I have given an overview of the initiative and stated some of the good things and some of the gaps around it. I am going to present more analysis as I discover more in the coming few days. Look out for the forks!

The discourse on Asia&rsquo;s &ldquo;rise&rdquo; is dominated by China and India, countries whose vast populations and buoyant economies have captured the imagination of international investors, journalists and policy analysts.&ldquo;Chindia&rdquo;-scented rhetoric abounds with catchphrases that state the obvious, but whose import is less so. China has the hardware, India the software; India needs China&rsquo;s roads, China could do with India&rsquo;s political inclusiveness. Given how fundamentally different India and China are, though, such &ldquo;lessons learnt&rdquo; are of limited value.The more relevant comparison in Asia &ndash; and one with enormous implications for the global economy &ndash; is between India and its civilisational sibling, Indonesia. These two eclectic democracies share more in common than India and China, yet they are rarely hyphenated.Last year&rsquo;s elections saw the elevation of a new breed of popular leader in both countries. Narendra Modi, whose family ran a tea stall, has risen from near the bottom of India&rsquo;s caste and class hierarchies. Joko Widodo is from a similarly underprivileged background.
