It's another way of saying "this time".

"go" is not the verb. It's being used here as a noun to mean "time" - "this time around" = "this time".
'Go' is a noun in "Have a go", "It's your go" (It's your turn).
"This go around" is not an idiom in standard global English, but could be in Indian English.
