What if selling a bad insurance policy could cost the salesperson their commission? That’s what IRDAI has proposed in its latest insurance distribution reforms. And there’s another interesting part: the person selling the policy could be linked to it. 🧵

This matters because insurance distribution has become increasingly expensive. Between FY23 and FY25, distributor remuneration in a representative sample rose 125%, while new business premium grew 28%. IRDAI is now proposing to reset how distributors are paid.

The bigger takeaway? For regulated businesses, the rules can change the economics of the business itself. The IRDAI proposal isn't final yet. But if implemented, commission clawbacks + salesperson-level accountability could fundamentally change how insurance is sold in India.

India could produce 6.5% less rice this year. That sounds like a farm-sector problem. But rice sits at the centre of a much bigger chain from food inflation and poultry costs to exports and government policy. Here’s how one weaker harvest can ripple through the economy. 🧵

Releasing stocks can help increase market supply. Restricting exports can protect domestic availability. But export restrictions can also affect global rice markets and India’s position as a major supplier. And if the winter rice crop is also affected by lower reservoir levels, the pressure may not end with this harvest.

That’s the bigger story. A weaker rice harvest can travel through the economy: Less rain → less rice → higher rice prices → higher feed costs → pressure on eggs, chicken & dairy → food inflation → tougher policy choices. So the real question isn't just: Will India have enough rice? It’s: How does India manage a tighter rice market without creating another problem elsewhere?
