About this listen

The world is full of fascinating stories, but they're rarely told with the depth they deserve. I'm here to fix that.

I'm Nelson John, and welcome to my show. This is your space to explore the ideas and forces shaping our world from AI and emerging tech to science and the stories of people doing remarkable things.

Each episode, I take one topic and go deep. Whether it's geopolitics, innovation, the future of our planet, or simply a story that restores your faith in humanity. I don't just tell you what's happening. I explain how and why it works.

If you're curious about the world and want to understand what's really going on beneath the surface, you're in the right place.

    The Electoral Bonds are gone, but the money hasn't stopped it just found a new home. In this episode of Nelson John 360, we dive deep into the 2024-25 data to reveal how Electoral Trusts became the new favorite route for corporate India.

    We break down the stunning "12x" funding gap between the ruling BJP and the Congress, and follow the specific money trails that define Indian politics today.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The Math: How the BJP secured over ₹6,000 crore while the opposition scraped by with ₹500 crore.
    • The Big Whales: Why giants like Tata (₹757 Cr) and MEIL (₹320 Cr) are pouring billions into Trusts.
    • The "Quid Pro Quo": Connecting the dots between massive government subsidies (semiconductors) and immediate political donations.
    • Raids & Returns: The disturbing pattern of companies like Hero and IRB donating huge sums while under investigation by the ED and IT Dept.
