India's generic medicines debate is shifting. Evidence from two recent peer-reviewed studies suggests that affordable generics can meet basic quality standards and substantially reduce household spending.
But sustaining trust will require stronger regulation, reliable availability, and better prescribing.
This brief argues that a nationally representative, independently governed exercise should combine market sampling and batch-level quality testing with evaluations of medicine availability, patient expenditure, and treatment outcomes. This would allow India to move beyond general assurances about generic quality and estimates of savings. Towards a system where prescribing guidance, regulatory action, and expansion of PMBJP are shaped by publicly available evidence: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/two-new-studies-shift-india-s-generic-medicines-debate
Russia, one of the world’s largest producers of crude oil and petroleum products, is facing an unprecedented fuel crisis. The crisis is the result of sustained Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries across various Russian regions, coinciding with the peak agricultural and tourist season.
With its dual-track economy torn between the military and civilian sectors, Moscow will likely be forced to make tough choices ahead.
This brief explains that a deeper dilemma sits behind Russia's fuel shortages: a central bank caught between inflation and stagnation, a sanctions-hit refining base, and a budget strained by war: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/russia-s-fuel-crisis-exposes-deeper-economic-fault-lines
The finalisation of the India-Australia uranium agreement during PM Modi's visit to Australia earlier this month marks the operationalization of the long-pending 2014 Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement, which entered into force in 2015.
For India, the timing is particularly important. The country's domestic uranium reserves remain limited both in quantity and quality, constraining reactor utilization in the past despite expanding nuclear infrastructure.
This brief explains that the agreement is strategically significant because it reflects the growing convergence between India and Australia in the Indo-Pacific: https://www.orfonline.org/research/operationalizing-strategic-trust-the-india-australia-uranium-partnership
As the undersea domain becomes increasingly salient in national strategic discourse, it warrants an examination of how competition in this domain is redefining contemporary naval warfare, and undersea warfare will be a key factor shaping force-structure decisions for naval forces worldwide, with particular relevance for India.
For India, this signifies an immediate need to shift towards a hybrid undersea force structure, underpinned by a coherent Undersea Domain Awareness (UDA) architecture.
This brief explains undersea competition is transforming naval warfare from a platform-centric battlespace into an information-centric domain, making a hybrid undersea force and coherent UDA architecture increasingly urgent for India: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-dark-ocean-challenge-undersea-networks-and-the-future-of-naval-warfare
India’s road infrastructure has witnessed a significant expansion during the last decade, growing by over 60%. The real test of infrastructure is not its inauguration but its endurance.
But the real test of #infrastructure is not its inauguration but its endurance. Every monsoon is an independent audit that reveals whether public investment has created lasting assets or recurring liabilities. India must move from building faster to building better, because infrastructure that fails with the first rains ultimately fails the nation.
This brief argues that although India has expanded its road network at record pace, but weak design standards, fragmented #governance, and chronic underfunding of maintenance mean the monsoon exacts a predictable and deadly toll each year: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-monsoon-verdict-india-s-road-infrastructure-is-failing-its-citizens
Myanmar ranks as the world's third-largest rare earth producer, with the bulk of this production being concentrated in Kachin State.
India accounts for less than 1% of global rare earth mining output — a gap that widens further downstream, given its negligible processing and refining capacity — which is precisely why the heavy-rare-earth-rich deposits of Kachin State matter so much for India's critical mineral security.
Sreeparna Banerjee explains India needs Myanmar's heavy rare earths to break its dependence on China — but civil war, a powerful non-state armed actor, and Beijing's own entrenched hold on the trade mean access is still more aspiration than reality: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/aspiration-not-asset-india-s-rare-earth-opportunity-in-myanmar
India has embraced a more variegated and multi-pronged strategy against Pakistani terrorism, which emerges overwhelmingly from the jihadi Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) tanzeems.
Beyond overt and covert military action, India has also placed the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance as part of a broader strategy of exhaustion and attrition.
This brief argues that deterring Pakistan requires preserving strategic flexibility through a calibrated mix of military, covert, diplomatic and economic instruments—not abandoning any one tool: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/beyond-binary-choices-india-s-case-for-a-multi-pronged-pakistan-strategy
Information warfare has entered a new epoch globally with the advent of AI. Since AI reduces the cost of producing convincing disinformation while simultaneously expanding its reach, the instruments of information warfare have become increasingly accessible, harder to detect, and correspondingly more consequential.
This brief argues that as AI reshapes information warfare, India can strengthen its defences more effectively through strategic AI partnerships than by pursuing technological self-sufficiency in isolation: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/information-warfare-in-the-age-of-ai-why-india-needs-strategic-ai-partnerships
Uzbekistan's energy sector is in the middle of a quiet but consequential transformation, emerging as one of Central Asia's fastest-growing renewable energy markets, with more than fivefold increase in under a decade with solar now accounting for more than half of that total.
As one of Central Asia's largest electricity markets, a rapidly expanding renewable energy destination, and a gateway to wider connectivity initiatives under the India–Central Asia Dialogue, Uzbekistan offers India an opportunity to combine energy diplomacy with commercial expansion.
This brief argues that converting diplomatic goodwill into commercially meaningful partnerships will require stronger business facilitation, financing support, and institutional follow-through: https://www.orfonline.org/research/india-s-renewable-energy-moment-in-uzbekistan
Today's AI agents are executing multi-step workflows across complex corporate systems. They authenticate users, query databases, file compliance forms, and issue refunds.
To survive, service-exporting nations must pivot from third-party BPO model towards Global Capability Centres (GCCs) – captive, highly integrated hubs that manage proprietary corporate intelligence rather than commoditised tasks.
This brief argues that as agentic AI compresses routine service work, the divide will run between economies that govern it and those merely exposed to it: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/agentic-ai-and-the-future-of-work-in-service-export-economies
As India seeks to secure a leading position in global markets, higher education assessment should prioritise retention and completion alongside enrolment to unleash the true potential of its demographic dividend.
The National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA) estimates student attrition in higher education at 25% in India. This is a hidden crisis within India's higher education landscape.
This brief argues as India chases a 50% Gross Enrolment Ratio by 2035, the real test of its higher education system may not be how many students it admits, but how many it helps graduate: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/beyond-enrolment-india-s-higher-education-completion-gap

Egocentric data has become central to physical AI because it provides what robot-collected data cannot: scale, variety, and low cost. It involves AI model observing tasks from the perspective of the hands performing them — footage that AI firms believe enables robots to replicate human behaviour.
This brief examines how first-person recordings from Indian workplaces and homes are becoming essential to training physical AI, exposing gaps in how consent, privacy, and worker protections are governed: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/looking-through-their-eyes-egocentric-data-collection-in-india
In India, health concerns have amplified the anti-palm narrative. The controversy stems from the oil’s relatively high saturated fat content compared to some other oils.
However, this framing conveys an incomplete picture. Many health risks commonly associated with palm oil arise from the ultra-processed foods in which it is often used. In such cases, excess sugar, salt, and calories may pose a greater health risk than the oil itself. Current evidence also suggests that overall dietary patterns matter far more than the consumption of a single oil.
This breif argues the anti-palm narrative deserves closer scrutiny because at stake is the nutritional security of millions of Indians: https://www.orfonline.org/research/the-no-palm-oil-pitfall
India and Norway elevated their bilateral ties to a ‘Green Strategic Partnership’ during PM Modi's official visit to Norway in May. The Partnership aims to strengthen cooperation between the two countries on climate and environmental issues, with both sides affirming mutual support for achieving their respective climate goals.
Additionally, a wider engagement on critical minerals exploration and processing would make this green partnership more synchronised and comprehensive.
This brief examines that while the West Asia crisis exposed India's energy vulnerabilities, its new Green Strategic Partnership with Norway offers a way to diversify supplies and accelerate its energy transition: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/india-norway-green-partnership-diversifying-energy-deepening-decarbonisation
In Nigeria, nearly 23 million women are entrepreneurs, accounting for about 41 percent of the country's micro-businesses. However, most women entrepreneurs face gender-based discrimination and credit constraints due to a lack of collateral.
The Nigerian government launched the 'Nigeria for Women Project' in 2018- a women's savings groups where members pool their savings in a common fund against which they can subsequently borrow, can play an important role in revitalising underserved women-led businesses.
This brief argues that although Nigeria's Women's Affinity Groups are expanding savings, businesses, and social capital, but changing entrenched gender norms remains a slower, more contested process: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/nigeria-for-women-project-skills-inclusion-and-changing-gender-norms

China used the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization (WAICO), outlining an increasingly coherent China-led approach to global AI governance.
China’s credibility will depend on whether it can turn its commitments on capacity-building, standards, infrastructure, and access into sustained programmes that countries find useful, affordable, and responsive to their priorities.
This brief argues that China's launch of the WAICO marks a shift from AI diplomacy to institution-building as the emerging global AI order is likely to remain one of overlapping ecosystems rather than rival blocs: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/china-s-bid-to-reshape-the-global-ai-order
PM Modi’s State Visit to Seychelles from 27-29 June 2026 produced nineteen bilateral outcomes spanning development finance, digital payments, maritime cooperation, agriculture, institutional capacity-building, and cooperation on blue economy.
India’s scale and technical capabilities complement Seychelles’ experience as a small island state that has pioneered blue finance and ocean governance deals.
This brief examines how the 2026 India-Seychelles agreements expands bilateral cooperation between the nations, laying the groundwork for deeper collaboration on the blue economy and sustainable ocean development: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/india-seychelles-relations-exploring-blue-economy-opportunities
The underrepresentation of women in legislatures risks leaving women's interests inadequately represented in policy decisions. Expanding female representation is therefore not merely a matter of fairness but also of ensuring that the concerns of half the population are equally reflected in the decisions that affect them.
The Women's Reservation Act, passed in September 2023 and popularly known as the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, aims to address the gap in political representation by reserving 33% of seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies for women.
This brief argues that although the Act is a reasonable bet, backed by decades of global evidence — but its success will hinge on whether reserved seats empower women or simply extend existing power structures: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/what-can-india-expect-from-the-women-s-reservation-act
