SHAKTIKANTA DAS, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, took charge of the central bank in December 2018. Since then, he has guided RBI with a steady hand during major disruptions such as the pandemic, global geopolitical tensions and economic pessimism, and also brought inflation under control, among other things. The RBI Governor, in an exclusive interaction with Business Today TV on the sidelines of the recent annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, talks about the mood of the global economy, inflation, economic resilience, the India growth story, and more. Edited excerpts:
