During the 2nd term of the Congress led UPA Alliance, Banks were lending money carelessly in the hopes of growing fast & many NPAs were not recognized.

I take you through how India & Vietnam can benefit at China’s expense. I also tell you what Vietnam has got right till now & what India needs to get right to cash in on this opportunity of a lifetime.
