Narendra Modi’s second term has been a lesson in acutely observing, re-evaluating and readjusting to a multitude of intertwined challenges, and building back even better India’s economic, industrial and healthcare sinews without compromising India’s interests. Expressed through its contributors with vast theoretical and practical knowledge, this volume examines a variety of emerging and evolving risks impacted and accelerated by the changing geopolitics, economic downturn, public health pressures, technology and innovation breakthroughs; and the existential challenges of climate change and its impact on resources. By doing so, the compendium focuses on India’s capacity, capability and political will, and its diplomatic role in navigating an increasingly fragile multilateral world.
