Sriram is a former IMF economist based in Washington, D.C., who has previously worked as an economist with a few international organisations. He is an alumnus of Columbia University and the author of Kautilyanomics: For Modern Times and Dharmanomics: An Indigenous and Sustainable Economic Model, both published by Bloomsbury India. His work sits at the intersection of global macroeconomics, economic history and emerging market development, and he has written for Foreign Policy, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and VoxEU as an independent columnist. The conversation begins in the past and works forward. Sriram explains how ancient Indian temples functioned as financial institutions, lending to maritime trading guilds known as Sreni, and why the Roman current account deficit in the early Common Era was driven largely by imports from India. He unpacks the Chola expansion into Southeast Asia, the strategic importance of the Straits of Malacca, and why Kautilya's Arthashastra amounts to a coherent economic framework he calls dharmic capitalism. Sharan pushes back throughout, asking why a civilisation this wealthy and this large was colonised at all, and whether India's historical underinvestment in military technology explains the last four centuries. From there the discussion moves to the present. Sriram lays out what he sees as the five foundations of superpower status: global trade engagement, governance stability, demographic dynamism, long-term strategic foresight, and human capital. He addresses the India versus China comparison directly, including the per capita income gap, and argues against the idea that an authoritarian model is the shortcut India needs. Sharan raises the question many high-earning Indian taxpayers ask privately, about paying significant tax without seeing proportionate returns, and Sriram responds with a view on why accountability tends to rise as more of a population moves into the middle class. This is a useful episode for anyone trying to understand the Indian economy, GDP per capita growth, geopolitics, economic history, and what the next fifteen to twenty years of opportunity in India could realistically look like, including for a generation entering the job market during an AI transition.
