The world’s energy transition meets a historical crisis

Akshara· Host0:00

[upbeat music] In today's episode, we'll break down two important stories. First, we'll talk about the world's energy transition meeting a historical crisis, and then we'll talk about the opaque curtains of India's gold pricing. Welcome back to The Daily Brief by Zerodha, where we cut through the noise to help you understand what's actually happening in the most important stories from business and markets. I'm your host Akshara, and today is Thursday, 9th April. Before we start, we want to tell you about a new project we have started, Subtext by Zerodha. Our work at The Daily Brief or elsewhere at markets doesn't often involve talking to experts and scholars that we think people should know about and even refer to in our stories. Subtext is our way of literally engaging with the rest of the world, and it'll house conversations and narratives with incredibly knowledgeable guests. Think entrepreneurs, policymakers, academics, and industry experts. Our first episode is out, and it's with Manoj Kewalramani, a China studies research fellow at the Takshashila Institution. It's a scintillating, myth-busting chat with someone who doesn't just read about China extensively but has actually lived there and speaks the language. You can watch this episode on YouTube or listen to it on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, or read the transcript on Substack. With that, let's get on with the show. Coming to the first story. So what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? In this case, we're referring to the world's energy transition clashing with the crisis
