India has witnessed an unprecedented infrastructure boom over the past decade, with new expressways, bridges, tunnels, airports and mega projects transforming the country's landscape.

From Bihar's recurring bridge collapses and the Morbi tragedy to Mumbai's engineering missteps and concerns over expressways, she asks whether speed and spectacle have overtaken quality, safety and governance. The discussion explores: Why infrastructure failures are becoming so common The role of political timelines and rushed inaugurations Weak oversight, contractor accountability and audit failures Why major public assets fail without lasting consequences What India must change to build infrastructure that truly lasts Is India building for generations—or simply building for the next inauguration?
