The Big Learnings from Davos

MODI ALL THE WAY • Nine years into his prime ministership, his aura remains undiminished, come price rise or the lack of jobs. The BJP is in pole position to win a record third term in 2024

Methodology

THE RISE OF PLANTATION TOURISM • The hill tracts of Tamil Nadu offer unique plantation holidays which are all about interesting experiences, relaxation, and immersion in nature.

MIXED SENTIMENTS • The Centre may have won the perception war on handling the Indian economy, but jobs and price rise remain issues of huge concern

THE LONG WAY HOME • The Bharat Jodo Yatra has given new purpose to a moribund Congress, but people still do not see it as an electoral alternative to the BJP nationally. Even a national opposition alliance now seems a little remote

POLE STARS • Yogi Adityanath reigns supreme in the minds of respondents across India; Naveen Patnaik cements his place at the top among CMs with highest ratings at home

EXPO STARS • THE 2023 AUTO EXPO MIGHT HAVE BECOME A BIT SMALLER THAN USUAL, BUT THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF SHOWSTOPPERS OR CARS THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LAY YOUR HANDS ON SOON
