India has a hole where its middle class should be

Perhaps it's not everywhere. I have lived in UK, California, and Netherlands and my experience comes from there.

My point still hold though. Indians still have a value oriented view to buying. Something is not bought just because you fancy it.But I think this is changing slowly. New generation is much more willing to spend for fun.

You’ve lived in the Netherlands, and you experienced people eating out there as a default?

That is entirely opposite to my experience. I’m genuinely struggling to understand how you’ve drawn that conclusion.

To be fair, going 'out' for lunch (i.e., going for a sandwich) is commom and I'd say standard in the Netherlands (in some professions). Going out for dinner not at all.
