Top Stories | CNBC-TV18’s Global Leadership Summit concludes, Piyush Goyal, RBI Guv, India Inc share insights and more

CNBC-TV18’s Global Leadership Summit 2024 wrapped up in Mumbai with immersive discussions that touched on everything from India’s economic growth and investment landscape to its evolving regulatory environment. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal kicked things off by suggesting the RBI consider a rate cut to spur growth, but RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das held firm, saying inflation needs to be tamed first before any rate shift.

India’s former CEA KV Subramanian and veteran banker Uday Kotak outlined strategies for keeping India’s GDP growing at 8% per year, aiming to make India a developed economy by 2047. Market expert Ramesh Damani offered up some investing tips, highlighting the power of compounding for beginners, while Wipro’s Executive Chairman Rishad Premji weighed in on the unicorn startup craze, calling it “overhyped” and advocating for a focus on creating sustainable value instead.

On the macro front, October saw WPI jump to a 4-month high of 2.36%, triggering jitters on the Street with the Nifty taking a hit for the sixth day in a row. Yet, there were bright spots: Hero MotoCorp posted solid profit growth, showing that consumer demand is holding strong.

Meanwhile, the CCPA has launched a  probe into Ola Electric after a string of consumer complaints. And for a light-hearted moment—Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy closed things out with a rendition of Elvis Presley’s, “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

Piyush Goyal demands a rate cut, RBI Governor’s speech follows — all the action at Global Leadership Summit

Global Leadership Summit 2024 kicks off with a gripping debate over growth and interest rates. India’s Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said the RBI must definitely cut interest rates. Governor Shaktikanta Das’ speech followed soon after and, indirect as it may be, he had a response.

Goyal said the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) must cut interest rates to boost growth, just days ahead of the next monetary policy review starting December 4. The view is in sharp contrast to that of the RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das who insists on waiting for retail inflation to fall to 4% before moving the needle on interest rates.
