In today’s episode, we have Saurabh Mukherjea, Author and Founder of Marcellus Investment Managers, sharing clear and practical insights on money and what to expect in 2026. We talk about what’s happening in America, Trump’s role in global politics, and why India often ends up being blamed in bigger economic narratives. The conversation also covers the ups and downs of the Indian economy and what growth is actually real.

We further talk about pollution and politics, and how closely they are connected. These two forces are likely to shape policies, investments, and public decisions in 2026, making them important themes to watch.
