Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Who Said What! This is the show where we take interesting comments, headlines, and quotes that caught our attention and dig into the stories behind them You know how every week, there’s a bunch of headlines that grab everyone’s attention, and there’s so much hype around them? Well, in all that chaos, the nuance—the real story—often gets lost. So that’s the idea: to break things down.
How about a dash of company specific news too? You wrote about Maruti thriving in india. But why not go down the rabbit hole of why years of tariff protection has made all these homegrown car companies lazy and entitled?-- none of our storied Indian companies like Maruti or Mahindra or even Hero for that matter has any sizeable exports.
Throw them abroad with the wolves of China and US and they'll get slaughtered. Why? Years of tariff protection and huge homegrown market dulls our need for cutting edge innovation. It's the same story with Bollywood cinema.
Think about it--even Mahindra Thar didn't really make a splash in the world. Meanwhile Mr Mahindra twirls his moustache and basks in orgies of self congratulation.
Only one company is attempting to take on the world--Eicher motors. Royal enfield and its glittering array of new launches are proving to be a hit abroad.
Perhaps it has more to do with its promoter, Sidd Lal who speaks less and is more focussed on innovation than patting his back.
Very well written.
