How a new financing mechannism with a private-public partnership is helping India sole severe infrastructure problems when government deficits make public financing inadequate to meet India's needs. Note that the IPO for GMR Infrastructure which has the contract to develop Delhi's airport was fully subscribed on the first day it opened, July 31, 2006. GMR hoped to raise $170-200 million through that issue. Private investment comes from loans from India's public sector banks which are flush with cheap money. Crisil , a rating agency, is quoted as stating that lending by banks to infrastructure projects has grown from 2% to 15.5% in 7 years to 2005. Financing through the corporate bond market for infrastructure projects is something that has not been tackled so far.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
