Beyond Valuation: Tushar Kansal on Redefining Capital for the Global South

Tushar Kansal decodes the behavioral DNA of modern capital. His thesis is precise: nations do not grow powerful by chasing foreign funding but by engineering financial systems that mirror their own temperament. India’s ascent, he argues, hinges on a new capital doctrine built on transparency, time, and trust. The question he leaves for the Global South is both strategic and moral: can we build markets that reflect our character, not our dependencies?

Above all, he champions custodial leadership: build systems that grow people, prevent collapse, and let the company endure long after the founder.
