In this episode of Simple Hai!, Vivek Law speaks with Jamal Mecklai, one of India’s most respected voices on currency markets and macroeconomics, about the forces shaping the rupee, inflation, inequality, and India’s economic future.

The conversation explores why a weakening rupee hurts ordinary Indians more than many realize, how inflation silently impacts the poor, and whether policymakers are doing enough to support long-term growth. Jamal also shares his views on capitalism, central banking, currency markets, global power shifts, and the growing economic influence of China.

From the future of the rupee and de-dollarization to India-China relations, financial markets, and the need to rethink economic priorities, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective on where India stands and where it could be headed.
