Delighted to announce that IDFC Institute in partnership with NITI Aayog is conducting a major new "ease of doing business" enterprise survey at the state level. This, we hope, will be a key input into the "Make in India" and "competitive federalism" initiatives of the Union government.

The YouTube video of my recent SAIS talk, "Economic Reforms in India in the Narendra Modi Era".

Vivek Dehejia gave a special invited lecture on "Economic Reforms in India in the Narendra Modi Era" at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, DC. The talk was followed by a lively Q&A with some of the premier India policy experts in the US capital including from SAIS and major DC think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institution.
