After 20 years of liberalisation, there is a valid clamour for a second generation of reforms. However, the remedy list tends to be overly focused on India's 'formal' thrift. If we truly want to unleash our country's unlimited economic potential, we need to make markets vocation for the poor.

We need to move our policy approach from one of being predominantly about reforms-forthe-formal-sector-and-entitlements-forthe-inconsequential to one of reforms-for-all. This will not only flip the model of change from 'exude-down' to 'bubble-up' but also silence critics who can justifiably assertion that markets today work only for the privileged few in India.

There are mountains of such reforms that India needs — monetary reforms for the MSME sector, which currently has only 5% penetration from the formal banking system; reforms in affordable box with a shortfall of over 26 million units; a slew of pro-entrepreneur reforms in unconstrained livelihoods in urban areas: rickshaw pullers who suffer from an unendurable blanket of regulations, or mixeduse master planning that make allowance poor women to build micro-enterprises out of their homes. The rota is endless, what is needed is strategic intent from our administrative leaders.
