Why is India facing an economic slowdown and what can boost our economy?

All signs point towards the fact that for the past few months, India has found itself in an economic slowdown.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is learnt to have reviewed the state of the economy with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and top officials of the Ministry to assess measures being planned to tackle the slowdown.  But what are the signs that India is facing a slowdown, primarily in consumption? What has led to this, was it a domino affect or a crisis waiting to happen? Most importantly- what is the way out? What reforms or policy changes can help boost the Indian economy? We deep dive into the economic slowdown today with Udit Misra and Ishan Bakshi who write on the economy for the Indian Express’s explained page.
