What if a train could carry Russian grain from the snows of Moscow across the Caspian Sea and straight into Indian markets in just weeks instead of months?

In this episode we explore the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) — the ambitious rail-and-sea route that is quietly connecting Russia to Iran’s Persian Gulf ports. Discover how the final missing rail link along the Caspian coast could reshape Eurasian trade, cut transit times by up to 50%, slash costs by 30%, and create a more resilient global supply chain away from crowded chokepoints like the Suez Canal.

From real cargo stories to geopolitical shifts and environmental benefits, this is the story of a modern Silk Road being built in our lifetime.
