Trump says is unhinged and histrionic, it’s tempting to dismiss all of it as bunk. And yet the former and perhaps future president has a populist knack for sounding alarums that resonate with the zeitgeist — for example, with growing anxiety about World War III and nuclear Armageddon. “We're a failing nation,” Trump ranted during his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris in one particularly meandering answer (the one that also recycled urban myths about immigrants eating cats). “And what, what’s going on here, you're going to end up in World War III, just to go into another subject.” He brought it up twice more. “We’re going to end up in a Third World War,” he closed. “And it will be a war like no other because of nuclear weapons.” Oh dear. Could we please stick to speculating about feasting on felines as we contemplate the United States and the world for the next four years? We can’t, unfortunately, because even experts increasingly worry about a new specter of major and global war.

Puneet Chhatwal, MD & CEO, IHCL, says their approach has been pretty balanced. They haven't gone all in on heavy assets or kept things super light, and haven't just zeroed in on one brand. Since they kicked off the journey in 2017-2018 with Aspiration 2022 and then pivoted post-COVID with Ahvaan 2025, they have aimed to diversify their business across both new and traditional areas. The new ventures are mostly fueled by digital, while the traditional ones have benefited from operational efficiency, especially after COVID, when demand started to outpace supply. Also, their growth isn't just about direct comparisons. Over the past six years, IHCL has more than doubled its portfolio size, and are launching more than one hotel every month. Rs 1 lakh crore market capitalization for Indian Hotels? Do you count the zeros? Puneet Chhatwal: Actually, I do not know how to count them. But yes, indeed a very proud moment for the sector, not just for the group. I think this sector was not known for value creation as much as it was for the glory part of it. And I think finding that sweet spot and the right balance has been very well driven in the entire sector globally, post-COVID.
