“India may remain a medium -income country …”: Wealth advisor warns the services alone will not expand

The economic rise in India may stop closer to what many expect, not because there is no ambition, but it is a lack of innovation.

Chakravarthy V, Wealth Adviser, sparked a LinkedIn conversation with the job: “India may remain a state of medium income in our lives.”

Describing it is not pessimism but “identifying patterns”, as the path of India in several South American countries that rose early but stumbled without deep innovation.

“Expanding the service of the service based on the service without innovation has its limits,” Chakravarthy wrote.

He said that the major companies in India have succeeded in adapting global technologies – from communications to the 3.0 web – instead of driving in the invention. “We have become distributors, not a disorder.”

This gap appears. With global work to low -cost markets such as Vietnam, the famous edge of India in India. The result: The incomplete employment between graduates and the technology sector is increasingly dependent on maintenance on creation. “This is not a failure,” Zakravarthy noted, “It is friction.”

Data supports him. India’s research and development investment is still low – only 0.6-0.7 % of gross domestic product, with only 36 % of the private sector. In contrast, China spends more than 2.4 %, as private companies lead these fees. Countries like Türkiye, Thailand, Egypt and Brazil are all in India in R&D ratios to GDP.

The United States and Israel, global innovation leaders, spend 3.5 % and 5.4 %, respectively, with the participation of the dominant private sector.

However, Chakravarthy sees hope. India is leading the world in transfers, receiving $ 125 billion – more than equivalent to foreign direct investment. He highlighted the best students and workers in India who are grinding within 16 hours, and access to the Internet settlement. “The ambition no longer needs a passport anymore,” he said.

However, the path forward depends on the building, not mediation. “The story is not over,” he wrote. “But for the next chapter to be better, we need more builders.”
