The Rational Minute

Beyond Headlines goes deeper than daily news to explain the economics, policy logic, and data shaping India and the world.

We break down complex issues—Budgets, RBI decisions, fiscal policy, inflation, growth, welfare schemes, geopolitics, and reforms—clearly and rigorously, using economic intuition rather than jargon.

Each episode connects headlines to fundamentals:
• incentives and trade-offs
• data and evidence
• short-run vs long-run impacts
• what policymakers are really optimizing
