Abstract

This comprehensive analysis examines the intricate relationship between global economic disruptions and India's economic resilience during contemporary crises. While India anticipated robust growth following the COVID-19 pandemic, the subsequent Russia-Ukraine conflict introduced unprecedented challenges for the Indian economy and global markets. Our research systematically evaluates two significant international crises—the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict—and their cascading effects on India's economic fundamentals. We assess the shock transmission mechanisms across various economic segments, identify emerging challenges, and explore potential opportunities for India's future growth trajectory. The study meticulously analyzes impacts on GDP growth patterns, inflation dynamics, currency fluctuations, global supply chain disruptions, financial market volatility, and crude oil price variations. Additionally, we examine how economic stakeholders and businesses have strategically responded to these dual crises and their long-term implications for India's economic development.
