Скачать или смотреть E20 Petrol to Vaping Bans: Why Trust Broke for Indian Consumers 2025? | The Signal Brief | The Core

2025 was a year of change for The Signal Brief.

We changed our name.

We moved from being a daily show to a weekly deep dive.

And we slowed down, so we could report more carefully and listen more closely.

And, across the many conversations we had this year, one theme kept coming up.

Trust.

Or more accurately, the lack of it.

In our episode on E20 petrol, we learned that even well intentioned policies can fail when consumers don’t trust how they’re rolled out.

In our reporting on supplements, doctors and researchers told us that many people are buying health shortcuts without clear evidence they work.

And in our episode on vaping, experts questioned whether fear based bans do more harm than good.

We also heard from people who lost real money.

From gamers who kept playing even as losses mounted.

From traders who couldn’t step away, despite wiping out years of savings.

And from young men watching micro dramas, which taught them money is equivalent to both success and respect.

In our year-end special, we look back at the stories that shaped 2025, and what they reveal about being a consumer in India today.

As 2025 reshaped Indian consumers, this year-end episode of The Signal Brief and The Core looks at why trust broke across E20 petrol, vaping bans, supplements, gaming losses and financial risk. What these stories reveal about consumer trust, policy credibility and everyday decision-making in India will shape business, markets and regulation well beyond 2025.
