    We’ve started a new project—Subtext by Zerodha. Our work at The Daily Brief and across Markets doesn’t often involve speaking directly to the experts and scholars we refer to, and Subtext is our way of engaging with them more closely. It will feature conversations with entrepreneurs, policymakers, academics, and industry experts. Our first episode is with Manoj Kewalramani, , a China Studies Research Fellow at the Takshashila Institution.—a scintillating, myth-busting chat with someone who has lived in China, studied it deeply, and speaks the language.
