Episode 12: Credible India?

This episode examines India through the lens of its recent performance in the Nation Brands Index and Good Country Index. The discussion focuses on recent slippage in Indian's image set against the underlying strength of India's global contributions in culture, industry and politics. Simon and Nick consider the threats to India's image, the potential for a still greater contribution going forward and comparisons to other countries facing similar issues.
