E-gaming, cryptos add little in terms of social value: CEA Nageswaran

Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran on Wednesday said online gaming, ultra-processed foods, and crypto trading businesses could be compliant in the spirit of law but they add little in terms of social value.

India needs to take steps towards better Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) practices for its own sake but there is a natural resistance when it is imposed by international bodies and forums, the CEA said.
