India Needs Anti-Fragility Acceleration on Road to Viksit Bharat

India has a big goal called Viksit Bharat, which means a developed India.

But the world can surprise us with shocks, like bad crises.

There is a thinker named Nassim Nicholas Taleb who studied how things handle stress.

Some things are fragile, like a glass cup, and they break when stressed.

Some things are resilient, meaning they bend and bounce back after the stress is gone.

Taleb says the strongest things are anti-fragile: they get even stronger when stressed, like muscles that grow from exercise.

The article says India should be anti-fragile, not just resilient.

India has already shown it can bounce back from hard times, including COVID.

This could help India move faster toward becoming a developed country.
