Children of government officials
GV has a good number of people whose parents are/were in some state/central department (any post, any grade pay). Most of them are in corporate setup now (jobs, startups) along with others. And everyone has an opinion about policies and administrative reforms needed for Indian corporate landscape. Apart from politicians, a major part of this responsibility lies with bureaucracy. Looking back at their parent’s job, would they say their parents did their job honestly without any corruption?
Billion Indians have no money to spend
The country's central bank has also cracked down on easy unsecured lending that propped up demand after the Covid pandemic. Much of the consumption spending of the "emerging" or "aspirant" class of Indians was led by such borrowing and "turning off that tap will definitely have some impact on consumption", says Pai. In the short run, two things are expected to help boost spending - a pick-up in rural demand on the back of a record harvest and a $12 billion tax give-away in the recently concluded budget. It will not be "dramatic" but could boost India's GDP - largely driven by consumption - by over half a percent India's middle class - which has been a major engine for consumer demand - is being squeezed out, with wages pretty much staying flat, according to data compiled by Marcellus Investment Managers. "The middle 50% of India's tax-paying population has seen its income stagnate in absolute terms over the past decade. This implies a halving of income in real terms [adjusted for inflation]," says the report, published in January.
