20 posts held, back to 25 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
July Policy Roundup is here! This post presents our monthly curation of developments in the Indian policy landscape – discussing I4I content pertaining to pollution from Ludhiana’s industrial clusters; how India’s Act East Policy can spur industrial renewal in the country’s eastern states; and Delhi’s new policy to promote electric vehicles in the city.

The Indian government’s data systems are a single, centralised source for information on outcomes, designed to simultaneously serve the needs of every official from the frontline employee to the national policymaker. In this post, Ganesh Rao highlights how the prevalent monolithic data architecture creates perverse incentives, distorts the reality it purports to measure, and ultimately undermines the very goals it is…
The adoption of digital payments in India has increased dramatically since the launch of UPI (Unified Payments Interface) in 2016. Yet, national averages mask significant local differences. Based on a district-level dataset, this article shows that while infrastructure in the form of internet connectivity laid the foundation for the digital payment revolution, the binding constraint today is the spread of merchant ac…
Alan Greenspan, the former Fed Chair who passed away in June 2026, was once hailed as the infallible “maestro” of American monetary policy. In this blog, Vivek Moorthy revisits Greenspan’s asymmetric record on asset bubbles – which was to deny that they could be spotted in advance while repeatedly slashing rates once they burst – and traces how this “Greenspan put” set the stage for the 2008 financial crisis. Read h…
The Union Budget 2026-27 announced various ‘vertical’ initiatives pertaining to human development domains including education, health, and skilling. In this post, Amarjeet Sinha contends that such initiatives can be impactful only if there are systemic reforms in related sectors. He recommends adopting a decentralised approach that engages the community, in order to meaningfully improve human development outcomes in …
Even as India's financial inclusion gains are evident in the sheer number of new bank accounts and digital transactions, gender gaps in the use of digital financial services persist. In this post, Jasmeet Khanuja contends that as policymakers push digitisation at scale, ignoring the reasons behind women's low usage risks reinforcing existing gendered norms around financial decision-making, rather than reducing women'…
While lithium-ion batteries have enabled the expansion of renewable energy storage so far, these are now confronting physical and chemical barriers. In this post, Amit Mitra and Sanjib Pohit put forth that the clean energy sector has successfully transitioned to a multi-chemistry ecosystem that leverages both physical materials and artificial intelligence. They highlight the opportunity that this paradigm shift prese…
Beyond moving people from one place to another, metro stations can reshape nearby public spaces – by increasing footfall, attracting shops and street vendors, and improving lighting – making them safer for women. Analysing the staggered opening of Delhi metro stations between 2016 and 2019, this article shows that reported sexual harassment rates fall by roughly 32% in a police jurisdiction where a new station opens…
India’s oldest skill training institutions – Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) – experienced rapid expansion during 2010-2015, which was largely private-led. Analysing administrative data from ITIs, Halder et al. show that the newer institutions fail to meet desired standards, and skilling is geographically disconnected from where jobs actually are. Further, the ITI system needs to undergo a transformation that l…
While a large body of research examines why many women in India remain outside the labour force, one important set of constraints that has received relatively less attention is labour regulations that directly restrict when women can legally work. This article analyses the impact of state-level labour reforms pertaining to women working night shifts, on women’s employment outcomes in urban India during 2017-2023. Re…
Amid global uncertainty, India is repositioning itself in international markets via strategic, forward-looking trade agreements. In this post, Shamim Ara and Aditi Pathak discuss how the trade deals with New Zealand and the European Union are set to not only expand India’s trade footprint but also help build a resilient, diversified, and future-ready economy.

Once among India’s foremost manufacturing and trading centres, the eastern state of West Bengal gradually ceded ground to western and southern states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu. In this post, Saurabh Bandyopadhyay contends that the emergence of a new connectivity-driven growth architecture stretching across eastern India, Bangladesh, and the Bay of Bengal region, opens new possibilities for industry…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @Ideas4India. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
