The Quint

The Quint’s editor-in-chief Raghav Bahl speaks on business, politics and policies.

Raghav's Take

In the 1970s, Richard Nixon paved the way for China’s economic rise by making a strategic alliance with the country. Fast forward to 2025, and now Donald Trump is unknowingly helping China reclaim its global dominance once more.
In this episode of Raghav's take, we explore how Trump’s isolationist policies, high tariffs, and withdrawal from global alliances are inadvertently enabling China to fill the geopolitical vacuum left by the U.S. under his leadership. Watch as we dive deep into China’s extraordinary rise — from a strategic partnership with the U.S. to now becoming America's chief competitor.

Just Like Nixon, Trump is Making China Great Again! | The Quint

Raghav's Take: Donald Trump loves to talk about taking a tough stance on China. From tariffs to trade wars, the US has tried to mirror Beijing’s economic playbook. But here’s the catch: America might copy China’s policies, but it can’t copy its people. Why? Because China’s system relies on a massive, low-paid, and compliant workforce that the US simply doesn’t have.
In this video, we break down why Trump (or any American leader) can’t win by playing China’s game, no matter how hard they try.

The American dollar is at a fatal crossroad. Will it die or will it have an angelic revival? Raghav Bahl answers.
For decades, the US dollar ruled global trade like an untouchable monarch—everyone needed it, but only America could print it. But has this so-called privilege become America’s biggest liability? From Alan Greenspan to Donald Trump, from globalisation highs to inflation woes. In this video, Raghav Bahl decodes how the mighty dollar shaped the world economy, and what Trump’s tariffs might mean for its future.

Donald Trump and the 'Exorbitant' Fairy Tale of the American Dollar | The Quint

After a brief but intense escalation near Pahalgam, India and Pakistan have pulled back with a ceasefire now in effect. But the Indian stock markets remain volatile.
In this video, Raghav Bahl analyses how markets often respond after military conflict subsides. Drawing parallels from the Kargil War and WWII, could the return to calm trigger a delayed 'war boom' rally? Or are we heading for a new correction?

India's Dollar Bond Revival: Trump's Mar-a-Lago Accord Explained | The Quint

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) nominated Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the November elections in a uniquely spectacular manner. The fact that it was a COVID-induced ‘virtual event’ was perhaps the least of it.

But the parade of Republican heavyweights at a Democratic convention was unprecedented, from Colin Powell, John Kasich to Cindy McCain. I shudder to think what legal convolutions would have gotten triggered if India’s moth-ridden anti-defection law was applied to these worthies!

Will India Do Better Or Worse Under ‘Centrists’ Biden & Harris?

India taxes ESOPs, ie employees stock options, harshly, very harshly. Let me give you a quick history lesson.

When I founded TV18 in the early 90s, we had given generous stock options to our critical team members. In that sense, we belonged to a clutch of ESOP pioneers in India. And since we were leaders in business news, we also drilled hard into issues around entrepreneurship, taxation and union budgets.
