I’ve recently been reading a lot about how my government (India) has been trying to get out of the business of running businesses. Its been doing that by gradually selling all the companies it owns (and theres a LOT of them). There is however a big controversy about how they’re going about getting rid of the said companies, and the debate is on about whether the government should privatise or disinvest.
As mentioned in the subject field, I know nothing about this. I was under the impression both terms are essentially the same. Obviously, they aren’t. Can someone enlighten me please?!
