  • Ep 111: The Wonders of FDI
    Aug 13 2025

    Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is fully amaze — and also, sometimes, fully a maze. It should be something a country welcomes with open arms — and yet, India has often done fisticuffs with it. This should change.

    Welcome to Episode 111 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.

    In this episode, Ajay explains why he loves FDI so much — and how India should embrace it and make it work for us.
