Dr. Jessica Seddon in conversation with Professor Atul Kohli, David K.E. Bruce Professor of International Affairs, Princeton University, and Shankkar Aiyar, Senior Fellow, IDFC Institute

discusses how COVID-19 has deeply affected India’s economy and society. While the per capita infection and mortality rates are low by global standards, the sheer numbers of those affected are significant. The lockdown and ongoing business disruptions have led to an economic contraction of nearly 24% in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2021. Such changes inevitably also have political economy impacts - on voter expectations, on perceptions of successes and failures, and on openings for new leaders and forms of leadership to emerge. This episode discusses some of the ways in which COVID is and may shape India’s political economy.
