Are The GDP Numbers Fake?

In this podcast, Kushal speaks with Ajay Rotti and Harsh Madhusudhan Gupta about the recent controversy over the GDP numbers. The government’s claim of 7.8% economic growth in the June quarter was challenged by Subhash Chandra Garg, who served as finance secretary between 2017 and 2019. Arvind Subramanian, former Chief Economic Advisor to the government of India, also criticised it, saying the numbers “have to be felt by the common man”.
