From 2004โ2014, many emerging economies rode a favourable global cycle to rapid growth.
India, despite operating in a relatively stable international environment interrupted mainly by the 2008 financial crisis, failed to translate its demographic and economic potential into economic leadership.
From 2014โ2026, India emerged as the G20's fastest-growing major economy while navigating a far more turbulent world shaped by the pandemic, inflation, fractured supply chains and geopolitical conflicts.
The "lost decade" was not defined by difficult global conditions.
It was defined by India's inability to convert a favourable global environment into sustained economic leadership.
The following decade demonstrated that stronger leadership can deliver high growth even in an era of persistent global disruption. #Economy
