Business Today’s latest issue spotlights a reckoning in India’s ₹18,700-crore film industry, where the pandemic-fuelled OTT boom led to inflated production budgets and sky-high star fees, only to now face a sobering pullback from streaming platforms. With several big-budget films struggling to find buyers, producers are being forced to rethink the economics of storytelling. The cover story captures this tipping point through in-depth insights and rare industry voices, including an exclusive interview with Aamir Khan, who candidly dissects the current disruption and shares why he’s pushing back against OTT norms in favour of reviving theatrical experience. He opens up about the broken economics of India’s film industry, the OTT content trap, and why he’s betting on storytelling over spectacle. But it’s not just Bollywood under the scanner. This issue also explores systemic tremors shaking up India’s business landscape—from rising doubts around the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code to concerns over market manipulation in India’s booming F&O space.

Business Today Magazine’s latest issue explores India’s rapid emergence as the global hub for Global Capability Centres (GCCs). With over 2,000 GCCs operating across the country and employing 2.1 million professionals, India now hosts more than half of the world’s GCCs. These centres have transformed from back-end support units into innovation engines, leading global mandates in AI, cybersecurity, product design, and digital transformation. From Tier I cities to emerging Tier II and III hubs like Coimbatore, Vizag and Indore, GCCs are helping decentralise growth, generate high-value jobs, and elevate India’s position as a strategic powerhouse in global business. Backed by progressive policies, India’s strong STEM talent pipeline, expanding digital infrastructure, and foreign direct investments are fueling this momentum. Also in focus: India’s $125 billion annual infrastructure push, rising green energy capacity, and evolving manufacturing capabilities, signs of an economy on the rise. The spotlight also falls on landmark defence manufacturing moves and the resurgence of firms like Suzlon. Together, these trends outline a compelling vision of India’s industrial transformation—anchored by capability, talent, and global ambition. All this and more in the latest issue of BT Magazine.
