In face of US tariffs, global volatility, India must maintain a steady hand
US-India trade relations — anchored in democratic values and growing strategic convergence — have entered a more challenging phase. The recent imposition of 25 per cent-plus tariffs on Indian exports by the US adds stress to trade negotiations. While the two nations continue to underline their commitment to a strong partnership, evolving geopolitical dynamics and economic nationalism are reshaping the context in which the partnership operates. The core of the dispute lies not just in tariffs or market access. While India's prudent refusal to open its agricultural and dairy markets remains a sticking point for Washington, a deeper unease stems from India's energy and defence ties with Russia. As India expanded its crude oil imports from Russia — from around 2 per cent of total imports in FY22 to around 36 per cent in FY25 — largely due to wartime discounts, Western discomfort has grown. However, with those discounts now shrinking, India has fresh room to diversify its sources — including LNG and crude from the US — potentially turning friction into an opportunity for recalibration. On the trade front, the impact of tariffs cannot be ignored. Indian exports to the US constitute just over 2 per cent of GDP — a modest share by global standards — but their composition matters. Sectors such as textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and auto components will face the brunt. The tariff shock could cost India up to $30 billion in export earnings, affecting supply chains, employment and GDP momentum in the short term. Yet India's economic structure — rooted in strong domestic consumption — offers it a cushion many export-heavy economies lack. Still, the broader global environment remains volatile. A slowdown in emerging markets, ongoing capital outflows and rising financial uncertainty are contributing to short-term pressures. July saw foreign portfolio investors pull more than $1.4 billion from Indian markets, and the Rupee weakened nearly 2 per cent, ranking among the weaker emerging market currencies in the month. A depreciating currency feeds into imported inflation, raises the cost of foreign debt and adds complexity to monetary policymaking. This leaves the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) with a delicate balancing act. Inflation is benign —expected to average around 3 per cent in FY26 — but the case for rate cuts is not straightforward. The RBI must weigh global interest rate trajectories, volatile capital flows and exchange rate dynamics while ensuring domestic growth remains on track. In this climate, the central bank's credibility, communication and consistency become as important as its policy tools. While Washington's growing dissatisfaction with India's defence procurement — still dominated by Russian-origin systems — is understandable, India's position is pragmatic. Legacy dependence is being steadily addressed through increased indigenous production, joint ventures and expanded purchases from Western partners, including the US. This evolving defence landscape can, in fact, serve as a strategic bridge rather than a barrier. India is not alone in facing US tariff actions. Even close allies such as the UK, EU, Japan, and Vietnam have faced similar measures. The pattern suggests a larger trend — Washington's push to narrow its current account deficit through selective protectionism and reduced import dependence. In such a world, economic diplomacy is becoming more tactical than rule-based. India's approach must be anchored in smart bargaining — leveraging its strategic relevance without compromising its domestic priorities. Any 'mini-deal' that emerges will have to go beyond symbolic relief to address structural irritants across agriculture, energy access, and technology transfer. Despite near-term volatility, India's market fundamentals remain sound. Key drivers such as financial services, consumer goods and technology are relatively insulated from trade tensions. However, short-term market volatility is inevitable, driven by high valuations and policy uncertainty. Sectors like auto components could even gain, as US tariffs on Chinese and Mexican parts create demand for alternatives. Pharmaceuticals and electronics — so far exempt from US tariffs — also continue to perform well. Recent earnings softness and valuation concerns may create short-term noise, but long-term investor confidence remains intact. India's lower export dependency gives it strategic room but it must not foster complacency. As global trade dynamics shift — shaped by US-China tensions, evolving WTO norms and mounting economic nationalism — India must respond with agility, diversification, and diplomatic foresight. By carefully balancing its energy sources, defence partnerships and trade positions, India can emerge not just as a resilient economy but as a shaping force in the evolving global order. In this fluid environment, India's steady hand and long-term vision are not only essential for its own growth but increasingly important for global economic stability.

BJP blasts Rahul Gandhi for backing Trump's ‘dead' Indian economy remark: ‘Shameful'
Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has drawn flak from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for agreeing with US President Donald Trump's 'dead' Indian economy remark, calling his statement on the matter "shameful". BJP MP Anurag Thakur said that making anti-India statements has become Rahul Gandhi's "mentality".(PTI) Hours after announcing the 25 per cent tariff on India, plus a penalty over its Russian purchases, Trump said he does not care what New Delhi does with Moscow. "They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World," he wrote in a post on Truth Social. When asked about Trump's 'dead' economy remark, Rahul Gandhi told reporters in the Parliament House complex that the US President is "right". "Everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact... The entire world knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy," Gandhi added. He not only made the remarks in front of reporters but also took to his X handle and posted, "THE INDIAN ECONOMY IS DEAD. Modi killed it." "Modi has destroyed the future of India's youth because there are no jobs," Gandhi added while listing five things, including demonetisation and GST. Rahul Gandhi's political credibility 'dead' The X handle of the BJP's Karnataka unit reshared Rahul Gandhi's 'Indian economy is dead' post and said that it was the Congress leader's political future that is dead. "It's not the economy that's dead, brother, it's your political future that's dead. That smug smirk of yours doesn't hide anything - it only reveals the deep hatred you have for our nation," it added. Reacting to the Congress MP's remarks, BJP's IT department head Amit Malviya said that Rahul Gandhi hit a "new low" by echoing Trump's 'dead economy' jibe. He said that it was a "shameful insult to the aspirations, achievements, and well-being of the Indian people". "But let's be honest -- the only thing truly 'dead' here is Rahul Gandhi's own political credibility and legacy," he added. Malviya further cited data showing India's growth in various sectors and said, "This is not a dead economy. This is a surging, resilient India." He said that despite a massive ongoing global showdown, India continues to be the world's fastest-growing economy, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank revising their growth projections for the nation upwards. Malviya alleged that Rahul Gandhi's "constant attempts" to demean India's economic growth are not mere "political jabs", but "direct insults" to the 140 crore Indians working hard to build a better future. "Who is Rahul Gandhi really speaking for? Why does he repeat foreign propaganda that undermines India?" he asked. The BJP leader said that it was time to call out the "Nehru-Gandhi dynasty's deep-rooted inferiority complex", saying that it has for decades chained India to a low ambition and foreign appeasement. "No more. New India believes in itself -- even if Rahul Gandhi will never," he added. Meanwhile, BJP MP Anurag Thakur said that making anti-India statements has become Rahul Gandhi's "mentality". "Whenever anyone makes an anti-India statement in the world, he grabs it," the former Union minister added. BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said that by publicly backing Trump's "slur", Rahul Gandhi has crossed all limits. "Whose side is he really on?" Patra asked. In a post on X, he said, "While the world recognises India's aspiration, achievement, and wellbeing, Rahul Gandhi seems intent on running it down." Patra listed a few data points, including the IMF upgrading India's growth forecast to 6.9 per cent for 2025. "World Bank calls India the "standout growth story" of the decade. Inflation is at a 6-year low. PMI is at a 17.5-year high," he added. "Rahul Gandhi is attempting to chip away at India's collective spirit of its ambition & achievements but he's simply out of sync with a nation chasing its dreams with determination," Patra wrote. BJP leader Annamalai, on the other hand, compared Rahul Gandhi's remarks to those of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. He said that "one spoke for India's interest (Tharoor), and the other spoke in a tone that would please his offshore masters (Gandhi)". Annamalai took to X and posted that the while the world heaps praises on India "as the only bright spot on the otherwise dark horizon", the LoP feels otherwise. "LoP Thiru Rahul Gandhi avl continues to wear ignorance like a badge of honour. He is blind to India's rise, yet ever eager to echo foreign voices that undermine it," he added. BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said that by echoing Trump's 'dead' Indian economy remark, "Rahul Gandhi hates Bharat. Rahul Gandhi hates Indians. No right-minded Indian would say what Rahul Gandhi has said."

The future of Indian retail is AI and omnichannel: A preview from ET Soonicorns Summit 2025
Venu Nair, Chief of Strategic Planning and Omnichannel, Myntra Chief of Strategic Planning and Omnichannel, Myntra Ankit Gupta, VP, Head of Product & Tech, Reliance Retail VP, Head of Product & Tech, Reliance Retail Rahul Kothari, COO, Razorpay You're browsing for a new pair of spectacles. The website instantly filters styles based on your face shape, recent screen time habits, and even suggests blue-light blocking lenses for your late-night scrolling. Before you click 'add to cart,' it shows you how each frame would look on your face, using your past selfies and purchase a working day. A nudge on your phone offers a personalised bundle—your favourite brand of sneakers, now paired with curated accessories based on your last purchase. At checkout, there's no queue. You're recognised, and your payment goes through above scenarios are not pages from sci-fi. They are glimpses of predictive and precision retail. All thanks to artificial intelligence or to the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Indian retail landscape, caught in the throes of a seismic shift. The era of one-size-fits-all storefronts and generic marketing is rapidly fading, replaced by a new paradigm where the customer experience is not just king, but the entire kingdom. Traditional storefronts and generic campaigns are giving way to hyper-personalised, data-driven experiences powered by AI in retail. Today, building a loyal customer base means delivering not just transactions but tailored, predictive, and omnichannel shopping experiences that resonate deeply across digital and physical touchpoints. This is the new retail battleground, and AI is the weapon of critical transformation will be the focal point at the ET Soonicorns Summit 2025, scheduled for August 22 in Bengaluru. A pivotal session, 'AI-Driven Personalisation and Omnichannel Commerce: The Next Retail Battleground,' featured under the track 'From Pilot to Product-Market Fit', will convene some of the most influential minds from India's retail and technology sectors to dissect this revolution. The conversation will explore how startups and incumbents alike are leveraging AI to craft bespoke customer journeys, implement dynamic pricing, and orchestrate seamless omnichannel strategies to elevate the retail panel features a powerhouse trio, each at the helm of this change within their respective domains:The modern consumer is inundated with choices, and their attention is the new currency. To capture it, retailers must do more than just sell a product; they must sell an experience. This is where hyper-personalisation—the use of real-time data and AI to deliver highly tailored interactions—becomes essential. Deloitte's June 2024 report, titled Personalising Growth: It's a Value Exchange Between Brands and Customers, reveals that brands excelling at personalisation are 48% more likely to exceed revenue goals and 71% more likely to improve customer loyalty. However, the research also finds a significant gap between brand intent and customer perception: while brands believe 61% of touchpoints are personalised, only 43% are recognised as such by consumers, which makes the ET Soonicorn Summit panel on AI and personalisation all the more fact, the Indian market reflects this global trend with a unique intensity. The AI in the Indian retail market is projected to skyrocket from USD 216.26 million in 2023 to nearly USD 2.97 billion by 2032 , per data released by Credence Research. This is propelled by the insatiable demand for personalised shopping. A recent study from Zebra Technologies' 17th Annual Global Shopper Study found that 77% of Indian shoppers now prefer retailers that provide tailored recommendations powered by AI. This is not a future-state desire; it is a present-day personalisation is only one half of the equation. The other is creating a cohesive experience across every touchpoint, a strategy known as omnichannel commerce. As the lines between online and offline blur, customers expect to transition seamlessly between a brand's app, website, and physical store. Recent data indicates that omnichannel retail in India has been growing approximately 50% faster than single-channel retail formats, while 73% of customers use multiple channels—such as online, in‑store, and mobile—before making a purchase decision. These findings reflect evolving consumer behaviour, highlighting the importance of integrated retail strategies in India's this fusion of AI-driven personalisation and omnichannel execution is the definitive challenge for Indian retail. The stakes are monumental. The Indian retail market is expected to reach US$1.4 trillion by 2024 , according to a report by NASSCOM. Brands that successfully harness AI to deliver a unified, intelligent, and personal customer journey will capture a disproportionate share of this growth. Those who fail will be left speakers for this session bring a wealth of in-the-trenches experience, representing the convergence of fashion e-commerce, large-scale physical and digital retail, and the financial technology that underpins it Nair helms strategic planning and omnichannel initiatives at Myntra, a company synonymous with fashion e-commerce in India. With a vast catalogue of over 2.3 million styles, Myntra has made AI a core part of its strategy to solve the challenge of product discovery. The company employs sophisticated AI tools such as MyFashionGPT and My Stylist to offer personalised style recommendations, allowing users to have a more meaningful, discovery-led shopping experience. Myntra's generative AI assistant, built on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, helps users shop with open-ended natural language queries, such as 'what to wear for a festival,' leading to a threefold increase in the likelihood of purchase for those who use it. Nair, a retail veteran with over three decades of experience at giants such as Shoppers Stop, Westside, and Marks & Spencer, is tasked with managing and expanding this omnichannel strategy, making his insights into blending digital innovation with physical retail Gupta, as the VP and Head of Product & Tech at Reliance Retail, operates at an unparalleled scale.

The company's strategy is deeply rooted in creating a seamless omnichannel model with a common inventory that enables hyper-local delivery. Gupta's teams utilise AI and ML across the entire value chain—from product recommendations, demand forecasting, and supply chain optimisation to automated replenishment and customer support chatbots.
