Indus Valley Report 2025: Reality of Indian Economy and Rich vs. Poor | F&F Ep. 76

 
India is now the world's fifth-largest economy, but who is actually benefiting from this growth? A new Indus Valley 2025 report highlights a staggering wealth gap—where the richest 10% of Indians dominate 66% of the country’s total spending, while nearly 1 billion people struggle to meet basic needs. Despite BJP’s claims of economic progress, the reality is that a large section of India's population is left behind. The middle class is shrinking, their savings are at an all-time low, and AI-driven automation is further worsening the job crisis. Meanwhile, luxury markets, premium brands, and gated communities are thriving, serving only the wealthiest consumers. This episode of Facts & Figures (Ep. 76) breaks down India's economic inequality, exploring how the top 10% are shaping India’s economy, the decline of the middle class, rising debt, the shift towards "premiumization" in consumer markets, AI’s impact on jobs, and BJP’s welfare politics. While the rich keep getting richer, the gap between India’s wealthy and poor continues to widen. Is India’s growth truly inclusive, or is it designed to serve only the privileged few?
