🏭 Nearing a month of 50% U.S. tariffs, India's economy shows resilience, with private sector growth just under the 17 year-high it hit in Aug. The private sector's exports growth slowed & hiring was muted, but business confidence hit a 7-mth high. asia.nikkei.com/economy/indian…

💵 The rupee has depreciated even as peers in Brazil & S. Africa, also under harsh U.S. tariffs, have risen vs. a weaker dollar. A controlled depreciation, however, will bring benefits in export competitiveness as inflation remains benign, economists say: asia.nikkei.com/business/marke…

What a shocker of a GDP number from India this afternoon- polling suggested growth rate would fall under 7%, but print coming in at 7.8%(!!!)

Way too much happening in the span of a few weeks now. Tiktok's removal only solidified Instagram's India dominance, as local competitors died out despite raising hundreds of millions in venture funding. A return will once again have the largest impact on its American rival.
