The July of 2023 has been reported as the hottest month on record. Heightened temperatures sparked weather anomalies that quickly exacerbated health issues and spread widespread devastation. In India, climate-linked disasters ravaged wide swathes of the Northern and Western regions.

In this context, India’s ambitious global goals of becoming the back-office and manufacturer of the world have been the subject of much debate, applause, and even criticism.
