Reinventing the ‘Sick Man’: Aman Modi’s Blueprint for Thailand’s Next ActAfter Thailand’s high-stakes election in February 2026, the kingdom finds itself at a crossroads. Enter Aman Modi, the newly appointed Head of BCG Thailand, part of the global management consulting firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG). A man who specialises in "total transformation," Modi isn't just looking at the balance sheets of Thailand’s largest conglomerates; he’s looking at the structural DNA of the nation itself. The "Sick Man of Asia" label, recently revived by a stinging analysis in the Financial Times, has sent ripples through Bangkok’s policy circles. Thailand’s processes, conversely, have sometimes been described by observers as fragmented across different ministries, leading to what some call "policy paralysis."
