India aims for a $30 trillion economy by 2047, but significant growth volatility, largely from external shocks, challenges this. The author argues that mere resilience is insufficient; India needs an "anti-fragile" economy that strengthens under stress. This requires focused policies across five areas: planned redundancy, learning from disruptions, decentralization, ensuring decision-makers have "skin-in-the-game," and strategic national bets. Competitive federalism, parallel digital systems, and a barbell investment strategy are vital. Embracing anti-fragile thinking is crucial for India to achieve its ambitious Viksit Bharat aspiration amidst a shock-prone global environment.
