VIDEO INTRODUCTION: India just hit the $4 trillion GDP mark !!! We've raced past the United Kingdom, we have beaten Japan, and we are now the world's 4th largest economy!!!! So the Indian economic miracle is here, right!!! NO NO NO!!! Guys!! Come on, it's okay to be happy with 4 trillion dollars, but do you realise, India looks nothing like Japan, UK or France!! The Poor and impact montages And don't get me wrong—it's a milestone. But here’s the thing about milestones: Sometimes they’re signs of progress. Sometimes they’re tombstones with better lighting. Because behind the $4 trillion flex is a silent, creeping danger that has already crushed Malaysia, Brazil, South Africa, and Thailand. And I am not saying, this the world fucking bank itself is saying this!!! It’s called the Middle-Income Trap. So before we light more fireworks over GDP, India is already getting divided!! While one India is celebrating $4 trillion... The other India is wondering how to stretch ₹400 till the end of the month. One India is building startups... The other India is still building toilets. One India is flying to Bali for offsites... The other India is walking 5 km for clean water. And both these Indias are real. They exist on the same street. Sometimes... even in the same house. But the truth is—a $4 trillion economy with two Indias... is not a success story. It’s an incomplete one. But the good news is we can fix it!!! And today’s case study, we want to use the world banks report to help you understand, Where exactly is India failing? Which economic mistake did Malaysia, South Africa and Brazil make which killed their growth? What do we need to learn from South Korea? And what are the lessons that you, me and a billion people need to scream to our politicians!
