Co-Founder of First Water: Research analyst focusing on India

“When things stood still like this and we in Asia hypnotised ourselves into the belief, that it could never by any possibility be otherwise, Japan rose from her dreams and in giant strides left centuries of inaction behind overtaking the present time in its foremost achievement, this has broken the spell under which we lay in torpor for ages taking it to be the normal condition of certain races living in certain geographical limits, we forgot that in Asia great kingdoms were founded, philosophy, science, arts and literature flourished and all the great religions of the world have their cradles.” —*Rabindranath Tagore* Written by Tagore about Japan’s victory against its European neighbour. 1905 arguably marked the peak of western expansion into Asia. Tagore, India’s first Nobel laureate, was a patriot who saw beyond nationalism. His words echoed the broader vision of freedom—one that was not just about political independence but about the liberation of the human spirit. In the early 20th century, Tagore's voice became a catalyst for the idea of independence across Asia, inspiring a generation to dream of freedom beyond borders. As we celebrate the 77th anniversary of India’s independence, let’s remember that true freedom is rooted in wisdom, compassion, and the courage to see the world with clear eyes. Wishing you a meaningful Independence Day. *First Water* #IndependenceDay2024 #IndiaAt77 #ProudlyIndian #ValueInvesting #FirstWaterCapital #EconomicGrowth #IndiaRising #InvestInIndia #NationBuilding #IndianEconomy
