        • Incomplete Capitalism Holds India Back: K.V. Subramanian

          K.V. Subramanian, India’s executive director at the International Monetary Fund and former chief economic adviser to the Central government, minces no words while pointing to flaws in the economic policy of pre-Narendra Modi era.
