🌐 In a world reshaped by Red Sea disruptions, US tariffs, and geopolitical realignments, India's most powerful foreign policy statement isn't made at the negotiating table — it's made at home. In a sharp recent op-ed in The Pioneer, Ravi Pokharna (Executive Director, Pahlé India Foundation (PIF)), with inputs from Kuntala Karkun (Senior Visiting Fellow, PIF), argues that the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill 2026 is far more than a regulatory housekeeping exercise — it's a strategic signal to the world. 🔑 Key takeaways: → The Jan Vishwas 2.0 decriminalises 784 provisions across 79 central Acts, shifting India's regulatory posture from control to trust. → A typical MSME still navigates ~1,450 annual compliance requirements. EoDB 2.0 targets this compliance burden head-on. → Every domestic reform sends a global message: faster contract enforcement = reliability; lower logistics costs = competitiveness; trust-based regulation = maturity. → Countries combining scale, stability, and speed will define the next wave of globalisation — and India is positioning itself as one of them. As the piece powerfully concludes: "In today's turbulent world, domestic reforms are no longer just an economic priority — they are India's most powerful foreign policy tool." A must-read for anyone tracking India's economic diplomacy, regulatory reform, and investor readiness. 📖 Read the full piece here- https://lnkd.in/ese387hF #IndiaPolicyReform #JanVishwas #EaseOfDoingBusiness #ForeignPolicy #EconomicDiplomacy #MSMEs #IndiaGrowth #Geopolitics #MakeInIndia
