Conversation with Sanjeev Sanyal

Sanjeev Sanyal, author, historian, and member of the Economic Advisory Council to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is the latest guest on India, Russia and the World, the weekly podcast hosted by Runjhun Sharma, Head of News at RT India.

Sanyal shares his views on why India has continued to grow faster than any other major economy despite a series of global challenges.

He explains how Indians can play a leading role in the application of world-class AI models and how it will reshape jobs in the country: older jobs would be lost and newer ones created. He advocates the overhauling of India’s current higher education system to better prepare students for the changing job market. Speaking about China, he says the country is facing serious long-term demographic challenges due to its shrinking population.
