Can India’s Banking System Support Viksit Bharat 2047? | Neeraj Gambhir | Open Dialogue | Episode 46

This podcast will explain why India's banking sector must reform for Viksit Bharat 2047. This Open Dialogue episode also explains Indian banking reforms, low credit-to-GDP penetration, cost of intermediation & priority sector lending challenges. We trace India's banking evolution from RBI's 1937 founding and the Banking Regulation Act of 1949, through bank nationalization in 1969 and 1980, to the Nariman Committee reforms that opened private sector banking. We unpack why India's bank credit to GDP ratio trails peer economies, how the LCR-driven shift from retail to corporate deposits reduces lendability, and the four components of cost of intermediation like CRR, SLR, credit costs and operating expenses. We also explore whether AI can bring down banking operational costs, if priority sector lending helps or hurts bank profitability, and why corporates cannot own banks in India.

Over the last few weeks, the conflict in the Middle East between the US, Israel, and Iran has continued longer than expected. What may seem like a geopolitical event is already having real economic consequences. This episode of Open Dialogue focuses on the economic side of the conflict. From the risk of disruption in the Strait of Hormuz to the possibility of a global energy shortfall, the conversation unpacks how closely the world economy is tied to this region. But this is not just about oil prices today. A potential supply shock can ripple through supply chains, impact global growth, and influence inflation, currencies, and trade balances.

Volatile, Not Irrational: Decoding Today’s Markets | Open Dialogue | Episode 43

Markets have been volatile for a while and have been moving ever so sharply since COVID. Commodities spike and correct. Bond yields behave counterintuitively. The rupee weakens. IPOs surge. However, despite all this turbulence, most asset classes are not collapsing.In this episode of Open Dialogue, Sameer Shetty speaks with Ashish Gupta, Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund, to decode what market volatility really indicates for investors.Together, they discuss the IPO frenzy and listing reality, explaining why not all public offerings deliver long-term value. The conversation also dives into bond market behaviour. Why long-term yields are rising despite policy rate cuts, and what that signals about fiscal trends and demand-supply dynamics.The surge in gold and silver, the risks of speculative flows, and why industrial demand ultimately reshapes price trends are analysed. A thorough overview of real estate momentum, currency pressures driven by capital account shifts, and the evolving role of foreign investor flows also takes place.The conversation makes one thing clear: though the markets are volatile, it’s not irrational. Demand, supply, valuations, and capital flows explain far more than what emotion-driven narratives suggest.This episode offers a structured framework to understand today’s uncertainty and helps investors think rationally about diversification, risk, and long-term asset allocation in an environment that feels more chaotic than it actually is.Speakers:Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankAshish Gupta: Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more expert conversations on India’s economy and markets, only on Open Dialogue by Axis Bank.#OpenDialogue #MarketVolatility #SilverCrash #MacroEconomics #AssetAllocation #IPOInsights #Nifty #FIIOutflows #BondMarkets #InterestRates #GoldRally #Rupee #InvestingIndia #FinancialLiteracySUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.axis.mobileFor more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].

Budget 2026 Roundtable: Breaking Down the Budget’s Growth and Spending Priorities | Special Episode

Budget 2026 did not deliver big surprises, and that is exactly where this conversation begins. In this episode of Open Dialogue, the panel discusses why a predictable, “boring” Budget can be a positive signal, reducing uncertainty, lowering the long-term cost of capital, and improving confidence for businesses and investors.In this roundtable, Sameer Shetty, Neelkanth Mishra, and Ashish Gupta examine key themes from Budget 2026, including the end of sharp fiscal consolidation, the improving quality of government spending, and concerns around liquidity as large cash balances remain parked with the RBI. The discussion also explores market reactions, changes to Securities Transaction Tax, and why some headline numbers such as GST collections can be misleading due to accounting shifts rather than economic weakness.The conversation places the Budget in a wider context of global uncertainty, volatile commodity markets, capital flows, and monetary policy, focusing on what actually matters for growth, markets, and long-term economic stability. This episode looks beyond announcements to understand intent, trade-offs, and what to track going forward.Speakers:Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankNeelkanth Mishra: Chief Economist, Axis Bank & Head of Global Research, Axis CapitalAshish Gupta: Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more expert conversations on India’s economy and markets, only on Open Dialogue by Axis Bank.SUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].
