Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
  • The Indian economy has grown strongly under Narendra Modi, whose party is set to win another term.
  • India's success has caught the eye of figures including Elon Musk, Jamie Dimon, and Tim Cook.
  • Youth unemployment, income inequality, regional disparities, and Russian oil remain big problems.

India's powerful economic growth and blossoming middle class under Narendra Modi have caught the eye of corporate titans like Elon Musk, Jamie Dimon, and Tim Cook.

Modi is pretty much a shoo-in for a third term as prime minister after the national election now underway ends on June 1. But the work starts there, as he'll have to navigate thorny issues such as youth unemployment, income inequality, and reliance on sanctioned Russian oil.
