In this issue, we also focus on how Corporate India responded to the pandemic. The economy tanked, businesses were disrupted due to full and partial lockdowns, millions lost their jobs or witnessed salary cuts, and deaths stalked the country. Some of the members of India Inc did rise to the challenge and used their mandatory CSR funds to improve lives and livelihoods. They arranged for hospital beds, medicines, oxygen supplies, dry rations, and other needs of the suffering families. From this issue onwards, we start a new series to analyse the impact of three decades of reforms, which were unleashed in 1991. Our first piece is on banking, and the next one will be on telecom and connectivity. Diplomacy and global issues will feature regularly, and this month’s article is on the challenges before India as it re-thinks its policies on the Taliban and Afghanistan. Hope you enjoy this issue, which has insightful and exciting pieces by the best writers in journalism.
