The Art of Bargaining: Needonomics’ Response to Tariff Terrorism

Leave a Comment / OPINION /

From the smallest village haat to bustling urban markets, the serious business of bargaining begins with every product, irrespective of its price.

In an era increasingly marked by […]

Needonomics and Invisible Wealth: Redefining True Prosperity

Leave a Comment / OPINION, SPOTLIGHT /

Silence, self-belief, and divine grace do not operate in isolation. Together, they form a synergistic triad that enables individuals to transform adversity into opportunity and uncertainty into purpose. Silence provides clarity, self-belief fuels action, and divine grace offers reassurance and direction. In contemporary discourse, wealth is largely understood in material terms-income, assets, consumption, and visible

VBSA Bill 2025: Reform or Centralisation of Higher Education?

1 Comment / Education, OPINION /

Structural consolidation without decentralized empowerment often results in cosmetic reform. True autonomy cannot flourish if regulation is merely renamed or reorganized, rather than fundamentally rebalanced in favour of institutions and states. The Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan (VBSA) Bill, 2025, introduced in the Lok Sabha on December 15, 2025, certainly warrants a wide, transparent, and participative public debate.

The Emotional Economics of Anger, Revenge, and Forgiveness

Leave a Comment / OPINION /

Needonomics teaches that resources—whether material, emotional, or intellectual—should be used wisely. Anger, revenge, and reactive behaviour are emotionally expensive habits that yield poor outcomes. A heart that behaves like a volcano—constantly erupting with anger, resentment, and negativity—cannot expect flowers to bloom. Harmony, goodwill, and meaningful relationships cannot flourish in an environment dominated by emotional explosions.

Needonomics: Bringing Morality Back to Economics

Leave a Comment / Economy, OPINION /

The Needonomics School of Thought (NST) believes that economics cannot remain value-neutral; it must guide human behaviour toward balance, responsibility, and ethical consumption.

Rethinking Pension Tax: Towards Ease of Good Old Living

Leave a Comment / Economy, OPINION /

A Viksit Bharat by 2047 cannot emerge on the foundation of neglecting its elders. Ensuring tax-free pensions, inflation protection, and expanded senior citizen savings schemes is not charity—it is justice. It is both a moral and economic necessity for a society that values its past while building its future.  The moral strength of a civilisation lies in how it

Leave a Comment / OPINION, World /

Needonomics School of Thought believes that the real progress of humankind lies not in competition but in cooperation, not in domination but in dialogue. The United States and China must realize that peace, stability, and genuine understanding are far more valuable than transient economic victories. If both nations approach their relationship with transparency and sincerity,

1 Comment / Culture, OPINION /

 Needonomics School of Thought (NST), inspired by the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, is not only an economic model but also a philosophy for meaningful existence. It teaches that prosperity without morality, power without purpose, and progress without compassion lead only to imbalance and suffering.

Reviving the Indian Coffee House Legacy: Towards Inclusive and Sustainable Cafeterias

Leave a Comment / Economy, OPINION /

If the Indian Coffee House represented the warmth of “one more cup before we leave,” today’s cafeterias must represent the freedom of “choose our cup, stay as long as we need.” In doing so, we would not only revive the legacy of the Coffee House but also reinvent it for the challenges and aspirations of

GST and Governance in India

GST and Governance in India

1 Comment / Economy /

To implement GST effectively, we need coordination between bureaucrats and the politicians in power. We need to understand Chakravyuha Challenges of the Indian Economy ‘ making great strides in removing entry barriers for firms, talent, and technology but showing less vigour to remove the exit barriers’. We have to be alert, aware, and awake of the ‘Cobra Effect’ which occurs when an attempted solution to a problem makes the problem worse.
