Summary
Good Morning, I'm Nelson John and today we're covering five stories that tell you exactly where India stands right now. GIFT City is quietly becoming India's gateway to global markets, but there's a catch most investors don't know about. India's MSME sector has survived COVID, war, and trade chaos and the data shows just how costly that survival has been. India's IT giants are in the middle of a full identity shift, moving from headcount to AI, and not every employee is making it across.

All connected by one reality: India is adapting, whether it wants to or not. Tune in to Top of the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
