What does 24 years of non-stop governance look like up close? How did a tea-seller's son reshape India's global standing? And what comes next for the world's largest democracy?
Brajesh Kumar Singh, Group Editor at Network18, has covered Indian politics for 30+ years—witnessing every phase of Narendra Modi's unprecedented journey from Gujarat's CM to global statesman. In this unfiltered conversation with Garima, he reveals the strategies, decisions, and leadership principles that built the Modi Era.
This isn't political commentary. It's a masterclass in power, transformation, and India's evolving story—told by someone who's seen it all firsthand.
