I can answer why you see such a wealth gap in India.. In capitalism, first the rich one get rich, then the next layer, and next layer. So yes, India is at an inflection point where income inequality is high. But as they will grow their business, startup ecosystem boosts, Manufacturing booms.. The gap will reduce and personal wages will grow like the ones in china today. China also had tremendous wealth inequality in the 2000s. China's GDP as a share of world in 2000 was same as India in 2023.
