One question should be asked to economists in developing countries or developed countries They do give incentives, but they do collect some small taxes on their income and their agricultural productivity Why does India not tax that Even smear just one per cent it will make them productive and force them to ask the questions, force them to be innovative - competitive.

Yesterday only I saw him on podcast called the neon show where he explained how Kolkata was murdered . I live in Kolkata and I agree with him. Bengal, rich in culture and heritage, was once a beacon of knowledge, industry, and arts.The state that once led India’s thoughts and dreams now feels like a fading memory. The saying was What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow. Now it feels like history.

[@sasankbarai2225]

The model he introduced for education is something we need for development. The use of internet and getting the best lectures out there from all over the world is the obvious way to go. Especially in college life, because I know 99% of students study the night before exam and rest of the time no one cares what teacher is teaching they all go just for attendence. So instead of this waste of time students just get hands on experience in nearby companies, solving and improving their products.

[@Amoghavarsha.]

Exactly.

[@aqualord6285]

Aren't we already doing this through distance learning colleges

[@sasankbarai2225]

@@aqualord6285 I don't think he meant distance learning, not like online classes, it's more about students going to college, choose a company, visit and learn, then brain storm along side faculty and finding a solution eventually proposing it to the company. Mean while faculty can relate it to the subject matter and deliver their knowledge and suggest videos and for exam purpose students should get open ended questions so that they can uses their brain and not just mug up answers

[@counterpoint9260]

students are already using youtube lectures to study now as their schol teachers and college lecturers are pathetic

[@AKS-_-]

I agree as well, but this may face backlash due to mass unemployment among teachers. Only a few teachers who are truly skilled at their craft will be rewarded-one teacher per subject. This could benefit students by improving the quality of education, but on the other hand will also result in the loss of 1 crore jobs held by educated teachers.

[@akshaybengaluru1212]

I feel the following are the challenges in India: 1. No population control and less tax base. 2. Talented people and professionals are migrating to other countries. 3. Some corporate companies are moving out of country due to heavy taxes. 4. Middle class are getting burnt due to excessive taxation system. 5. Freebies are pickpocketing the economy. 6. Rich farmers are not being taxed and they're enjoying all incentives from the government. No government dares to tax rich farmers. With all these big challenges is it possible to increase per capita income and achieve economic stability?

[@saketmeena9581]

I didn't understand why government are unable to show strength against rich farmers. Rich farmers are empowered. Why they need incentives? They should be taxed. And since number of rich poeple or farmer is always lower than number of poor people or farmer, then government should actually get general public support. Where is the problem coming? Please answer it properly even if you have to go in detail of small things related to politics.

[@Ignaz.Semmelweis]

Not a single genuine point, only crying over taxes 😅. Implementing the the Rule of Law and bringing reforms in school education are the crucial things.

[@poojasingla9693]

​@saketmeena9581 all points are valid. But again go back to what happened to farm laws. 99% of indian farmers were NOT blocking roads. It means they were in favour of the laws. But the 1% farmer population got the road blocked for more than a year. Damage indian economy in crores. They got further boost from our very sinister opposition parties, foreign media, foreign ngos. Plus those 1% population showed that they will vote in block just to out the govt. They will not see govt performance, infrastructure performance, inflation control, caste, local candidate, or freebies. So the actual loser is the 99% diligent farmers who did not say to govt - that we are with you come what may.

[@KnocksLitt]

In short we need to restructure the tax table

[@loveuall3169]

​@@saketmeena9581absolutely. But we all know what happened to farm laws... political unity is completely missing. All these regional parties are more interested in taking political milage than thinking for the country. Now imposing tax on rich Farmer is far more complex & politically difficult job. Full political alignment is needed which I think is almost impossible in near future

[@hari_madh]

Lack of aspiration / ambition is the biggest problem!!

[@hari_madh]

As I saw think school liked this comment, i just thought a bit more on this... Addressing the Lack of Aspiration and Ambition: Understanding the Risk-Averse Mentality 1. Introduction: The Risk-Averse Mentality A common barrier to ambition and aspiration, particularly in the Indian context, is a risk-averse mentality. While being risk-averse is not inherently negative, it’s essential to explore its causes and potential solutions. 2. Causes of Risk Aversion A. Peer Pressure Fear of Failure: Many individuals fear taking risks due to the potential for failure. Social Judgment: The fear of being judged by peers if a venture fails can be a significant deterrent. B. Personal Circumstances Responsibilities: Individuals with fewer responsibilities (e.g., students) might be more willing to take risks. Family Dependence: For those who are primary earners in a family, the stakes are higher, making them more cautious. 3. Impact of Risk Aversion A. Limited Ambition Calculated Risks: Family persons or those with dependents often take calculated risks, prioritizing financial stability. Restricted Growth: While this approach minimizes risk, it can also limit ambition, as individuals may avoid larger, more rewarding risks. 4. Solutions to Encourage Risk-Taking A. Building a Safety Net Support Networks: Family or friends can provide financial and emotional support, reducing the fear of failure. External Financial Assistance: Government loans or other financial support can offer a cushion, allowing for risk-taking without compromising financial security. Shared Responsibility: In families, the risk-taking individual might focus on the new venture while another family member ensures a steady income, creating a balance between security and ambition. 5. Overcoming Societal Pressures A. Avoiding Herd Mentality Self-Assessment: Instead of following trends blindly, individuals should assess their own strengths, skills, and interests. Informed Decision-Making: Understanding personal strengths allows for better decision-making regarding where to invest time and resources. 6. Building Confidence for Risk-Taking A. Starting with Self-Awareness Skill Development: Individuals should first focus on areas where they are already competent, building confidence in their abilities. Incremental Risk-Taking: As confidence grows, individuals can start taking calculated risks in other areas, gradually increasing their ambition. 7. Conclusion: A Step-by-Step Process Gradual Progression: Overcoming risk aversion and fostering ambition is a step-by-step process. Reinforcement through Success: Each successful step builds confidence, encouraging further risk-taking and ultimately breaking down the barriers of risk aversion. if someone feels this is useful, it will help..

[@varunshivan9569]

Aspiration and ambitious people are the ones who leave the country, because they have brains to conclude that using their talents on foreign land is 10 times better than in India. No one is going to wait until when Modi will reform India, nobody has that kind of time to waste. Edit: building a business in a well established system is easier than "still figuring out what to do" system.

[@babahanuman83]

castesystem and patriarchy are like chains for indian progress. and that will not change.

[@hari_madh]

@@varunshivan9569 agree!! But given the context, there is growth in India comparing to not having growth in other countries, after sometime, Indians will come back to India in later stage after 5-7 years maybe.. at that time, they can invest more.. in India.. this 5-7 years cycle will decrease soon given the fact there is many reforms taking place and many more to come. More business friendly reforms will make more Indians stay..

[@LikeDeep-q6w]

@@hari_madh I think this is an overly optimistic view of the country you have presented. I might sound very pessimistic but hear me out. Couple of things, 1. The number of Indians returning is minuscule compared to those leaving the country. Also, amongst those returning, a large majority are not returning because they are mesmerised by India's story - but because they are facing visa issues. They intend to leave India again once their visa issues are sorted. 2. The political landscape in India is still not pro-development and pro-progress. It is still largely hyper-socialist and full of regressive ideas like more reservations, more freebies, more caste and religion, and more populism. India loves to romance with socialism. If you remove a few leaders like Modi, Gadkari etc. from the equation - where do the politics of this country stand? Does the current and future leadership inspire confidence that they'll prioritize the development of this country over everything else? We all witnessed the recent LS election. Did ANY political party make development and growth the primary topic of debate? None! See, big companies don't just plan for the next 5-6 years; they think long-term, and if the leadership doesn't give them confidence, they'll not come to India to set up large factories. Unless majority of big political parties make development their primary agenda, I don't see India going anywhere near to being called a 'developed country'. The best it can do is reach 3rd spot and remain behind the US and China. The gap will still be large between second and third place. 3. The reforms you are talking about are all cosmetic. Successive governments in India have failed to address real reforms like simplifying land acquisition, tax reforms, judicial reforms, and administrative reforms. They are all difficult and unpopular reforms, and no political party is ready to expend their political currency for it. Have you seen ANY political party talk about it in their election manifesto? They won't.

I don’t think we depend on Modi or Rahul to become successful. They depend on us.

[@NikolasTesla-g1s]

It's certainly a policy issue.. Typical socialist, communist mindset is the problem.. It's right that in capitalist countries, equality is followed more strictly than in communist countries..

I did my masters in IE in US. We are an onshore supplier for major clothing and fast fashion brands. On a revenue of ~$300M, we invest about $10-15M per year in R&D and capital equipment. Our Indian counterparts, which are less revenue making but more profitable in net margins terms, invest only about 2-3% in R&D and capital equipment, rather preferring to float on their cheaper labor factors.

[@RajendranathReddy-fj5hh]

10-15M in 300M is around 3-5%. So, percentage wise, I don't see much of a difference? Am I missing something here?

[@HitchhikersGuidetoScience]

There isn't any culture of r&d in India. India mein most people have the traders mindset and not the innovator. So its all about the money and the money now. Look at our richest people, hardly any r&d going on there. I think only tata does some investments in it, rest don't even bother much.

[@KVSrirangam]

@@HitchhikersGuidetoScience Is that how it looks? There are too many problems for pvt companies previously to do R&D now it isn't the same. But I would say go by your preconceived notions that's much easier.

[@HitchhikersGuidetoScience]

@@KVSrirangam Its not easier really. I will give you an example from what someone told me he was going through a couple of months ago. He wanted to do some biotech work here and needed some equipment which isn't available in India. Now if he buys it as a pvt company the duty on it is 33% and and same machine if bought by a big govt institute has the duty of 5%. But lets even accept your premise that it has changed. Why aren't we seeing any difference in the output or spend on r&d from the private sector (private sector spend overall has been dropping or staying low). Even if we talk about our premier institutes, their research output has also been abysmal.

Germany has so many mittle Stans because they have good roads. They can have small factory in small town and export it from there to anywhere in world. But some dumb youtuber says we don't need roads but lives in Germany.

[@binskee677]

it's not the full truth actually, infrastructure is indeed improtant but it's not the only reason Germany has such a successful diversified economy. Look up the "Blue banan" it plays a huge factor why West Europe is so wealthy. Also Germany was a totally destoryed country after WW2, usually countries who have experienced such hardships grow really fast with the right political mindset, same as South Korea and Japan and many more, they were totally destoryed after the war to a level they had literally nothing left. We might have experiences colonialism and extreme poverty but we have not experienced that level of destruction these countries experienced at least recently. These factors do play a role and form a societies mindset. Our way of thinking is very different to the way Germans think.

[@MrMaverickanand]

​@@binskee677Germany and Japan were both industrial societies well before ww2. All they needed to get out of the post war mess was a Kickstart capital.

See Singapore, no one bombed it, it was just a fishing village, but the leader of their country has created certain narratives that made its people work hard and they aspired to be great and they are great now. Look at what we did after we got independence, we moved to a socialist economy with such a huge country, I don't understand why there were no narratives that benefits the country, instead the narratives were about how bad our history was, how bad our society is etc. on top of it, trying to over correct the caste system with reservations without proper checks and balances which led to complacent system and corrupt people.

[@binskee677]

@@RPSA505 Singapore grew because of tax cuts for financial institutions, not only but that was singapores "Kickstart". And regarding india post independence, from a only economical policy i do agre with you but on the other hand, if india immediately would have opened it's market who knows what would have happened, too many foreign interestes might have destroyed the country. It was essential for india to have a strong military and to better educate their people before opening it's economy fully. We could have opened maybe 10 years earlier i agree, but if you look at from another perspective, the parties back then were able to keep this extremely diverse country with so many internal issues together which in itself is a big achievement we take for granted now, they were able to keep democracy alive and we didn't have any major famine. We did have internal issues and it lead to casualties but non of those issues really escalated. India is very respected all around the world from a political perspective and is able to run a strong foreign policy, everyone thanks BJP for it (i do too and rightfully so) but it's also a result of building this nation all those decades and equipping it with all the tools to have such a strong foreign policy standing. But those times are over and now it's time to grow for india economically and we have to go bullish on the economy.

[@HitchhikersGuidetoScience]

No, germany can have so many stans because of their university system and the business system. They have a lot of good universities in germany even in small university towns. People from these universities usually want to set up their business close to the university (as they have been comfortably living there and can get talented labour from the university). Also the local govts support them in starting these businesses by giving them good initial capital and helping them in any other ways (local politicians know that jobs are always an election issues and industry means more jobs) so there's a full system. In here we don't have that many great universities, then a lot of the people passing out from there usually want jobs and not risk starting their own thing (which is changing) and then when one does. The system of all the rules and regulation slowly kills one's spirit of making a business work (it is not easy to start stuff here) here a person has to fight a fight on business front with the competitors and with the govt departments for all the rules and licenses.

I think GST makes sense because, if producer gets the tax then consumer states will try to manufacture on their own and not trade between states. And will start building transactional relations with few other states to internally compensate their needs. this will start breaking the country in to small economical segments. So I think its better to have tax burden when importing from other country but should have tax benefit when handling goods of other states in order to help increase the same of the manufacturer. So consumers of a state will have to pay more to get the product compared to manufactured in own state. just a personal opinion.

On Germany's exports, I want to ask what is the percentage of non-EU exports? If majority of the exports are bought by EU countries, then that's equivalent to internal consumption within India. If EU were a country, then Germany would be a state, and it would be like one state selling to another.

[@sunami33]

Good point. Only 40% of its exports are outside EU. Btw, why didn't you research this yourself? It took chatGPT just few seconds to answer my query

[@bikramsingh592]

EU is not a country rather a continent at this point. But, India is self sufficient so that is a good thing.

[@rajus222]

​@@sunami33Thanks. 40% non-EU means about 20% of Germany's GDP. Which is same as India. So, India is not behind on percentage. The value of the goods, is the problem. We are exporting low value items. Also, we should reduce imports, especially of fuel and pulses and edible oil. By shifting to biogas, EVs, ethanol and increasing the sowing of pulses and oilseeds, our GDP per capita will increase immediately.

Obviously business structures were pathetic which millennials and GenZ will not be able to understand or think thru. I have seen reforms of 90s, banking reforms, ease of making payment, getting money from ATM, IBC, GST etc Agree with Mr Sanjeev lot yet to be done in processes improvement.

I find Mr. Sanjeev Sanyal's view on education quote refreshing and insightful * He believes that the current education system, relying heavily on lectures, is outdated and inefficient. * He advocates for a shift towards more automated and online learning, allowing for greater access and flexibility. * He suggests that colleges should focus on research, certification, and testing rather than traditional lectures. * He emphasizes the importance of practical learning and apprenticeship-based systems, similar to the German model. * He believes that online education can be made almost free, dramatically expanding access to higher education.

[@Kranti27]

@@dinesh6489 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I agree that first- and third-generation graduates face different challenges. First-generation graduates often had to navigate education without much guidance, developing resilience along the way. Many are now in a stage of life where they balance responsibilities while still valuing the education they earned. On the other hand, third-generation graduates benefit from family support and resources, but the focus is shifting to how their children will adapt and thrive in today’s evolving educational landscape. Both groups contribute uniquely to education. First-generation graduates face challenges like balancing responsibilities and limited mentorship, while third-generation graduates must find their path in a more accessible but competitive environment. As Mr. Sanjeev Sanyal suggests, practical and flexible education models could help bridge these gaps, making quality education more accessible for all."

NEHRU'S FABIAN POLICIES: Nehru is the reason India and Indians (our grandparents, uncles etc ) despite having talent and entrepreneurship capabilities , remained dirt poor for about 65 YEARS after Independence . Nehru followed FABIANISM, (famously called Nehru Socialism ) which the British intentionally taught him when Nehru was studying law in London. Fabians believe what takes 5 years to achieve , let the change and development take 100 years . Nehru stifled and suppressed growth, placing his foot on the neck of Indian development. In direct comparison to India, the Asian Tiger Economies (ie Singapore, Taiwan , Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and later China) exploded with growth from about 1959s onwards. By 1970s most were fully developed , wealthy countries . Their leaders unleashed the talent, entrepreneurs , and hard work in their society and experienced explosive growth. Despite the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty being aware of this , things like the License Raj remained in India ( ie just to open a company or do something would require 80 different licenses from multiple departments ......thus encouraging systemic curroption as people had to grease palms just to get any work done ) ......This is just one example of Nehru's disastrous leadership. I honestly wish Nehru left India with Mountbatton's wife, Edwina......that way everyone would have been happy and IMO, India would be as developed as Singapore or South Korea or Taiwan or Japan or China.

Second this.. adding more points- 1. Private sector is less aspirational. They really need to shed their minds of social economic system and get aggressive and risk taking on the global stage. 2. We built huge software services industry and made huge money but invested paltry on the R&D. A service company remained a service company with horizontal expansion. The vertical bulge never happened at all. This is a great example of lack of aspiration. 3. Education system reforms are in urgent need and should become more and more innovation oriented rather than being a mere fundamental knowledge sharing houses. The market oriented education research and implementation and the provocation of critical and empathetic thinking is hugely missing.

[@Insightful_Truth]

It's not about poverty of aspiration. It is about macroeconomics. Why should private sector do R&Ð? Are they for profit making or social service? If they see R&D as profit making way, private sector will definitely jump on to R&D. Understand clearly that economics is not about emotions. It is about hard mathematical science. Nothing happens in an economy magically. There needs a suitable macroeconomic environment

[@partha1819]

​@@Insightful_TruthAgree. Value creation has two components. 1. Reasearch or how to create value and 2. Execution of as per know how. First one is more risky and time consuming that private investors like to take and wait. This requires more states funding in research along with change in mindset of academia. The purpose is not to produce large number of papers half of which are filled with citations but to more geared towards problems that really add value to our life, health and peace. Our economic focus is too much on money and wealth that can purchase value. But what about value itself? Is it improving? First of all we need an objective definition of value. From my perspective anything that help us in living longer, healthier, peaceful enjoyable is value. We need to focus our economic activity to find howto do them and execute as per learned know how. If I look from this perspective I can see we are behaving like stupid. Every body counting their leaves but nobody seeing the whole forest. After all why do we engage in economic activities? To just earn money and wealth. No but to acquire value. I must say that value is eroding than improving.

[@Insightful_Truth]

@@partha1819 Take example of OpenAI. OpenAI could create ChatGPT because it had solid funding from Microsoft. Microsoft was willing to fund OpenAI because Microsoft saw business value and profitability in investing on it. So basically, R&D in private sector happens only if company sees business value or profit in it. Govt cannot just say to Private sector "Do R&D". That's not how macroeconomics works.

In Andhra Pradesh case between 2019-2024, centre made a blind eye towards huge extra FRBM budget borrowings in the name of corporations. They didn't do anything when the proposed capital city is allowed to turn a wasteland. All of that pushed Andhrapradesh into prolonged poverty. They made political deals with that criminal, mad fellow who was chief minister. That really questions the integrity of the PM towards India's development. Donno why he chose to do that

I want these stupid British education system to be changed.nep is not getting implemented in non bjp states still how long we should suffer from these education system

[@NerdCentral_]

What's the stupid British Education? It is only after British the lower castes were started getting Education

[@binskee677]

bro non bjp states have the best education in the country, or at leaste some of them. Doesn't mean it's good but many states like Tamil Nadu or Kerala have revamped the british education system decades ago brought reformes. They are not optimal and a lot has to be improved but don't make every issue political and black and white...

[@piyu-utube]

I am from gujrat and bjp is the one which pushed the British education here.

[@indianpoliticalvideo7430]

Yes Non BJP state Gov are just playing dirty politics... I am from Karnataka here NEP was introduced and Graduation now was of 4 years... Just after 2-3 years Congress went back to old policy and now again Graduation is of 3 years 🤦🤦🤦

[@NerdCentral_]

@@indianpoliticalvideo7430 3 years or 4 years graduation doesn't do any good until the gov prioritise skill based education

When someone like Nandan Nilekani tries to sidetrack Indian tech companies from doing foundational work in LLMs - he talks about the Indian advantage in developing 'use cases', instead of inspiring Indian tech to invest in developing foundational R&D - you wonder if there is more to it than mere lack of ambition.

[@pranavtambatkar8455]

It was very weird that Sanjeev sir that we need more production based economy for growth rather than sales based but they will not give benefits to the actual producers in taxation and pass on that taxation to consumer states ......that's very contradictory 😅😅

[@Sourav_2k03]

lmao get out of your half baked info from WhatsApp

[@varunkhugshal9049]

Producer state may not consume end product, they consume all the products required to produce stuff, supply chain is extremely intertwined, no need to make it complex again with more state based taxation

[@varunkhugshal9049]
