I live in India my guy. Lived here all my wife. I’m 35 years old. Every single person in mu cohort has a package in excess of 50L ($60,000). The top earner among my friends group paid 27L in just income tax last year.

And my cohort didn’t even go to top institutes. My cousins who did go to IITs and IIMs are making that much and more in their 20s.

I’m convinced you haven’t stepped foot in India in years because you don’t know how much salaries for skilled white collar workers have increased in the last 3-4 years.

Anybody who has lived in India will know exactly how wrong your numbers are. Saying that "every single person in my cohort has a package in excess of 50L" does not make you sound any more credible.

The numbers don't lie.

You’re talking about pan India averages.

I’m talking about metro-specific numbers, especially in Gurgaon/Noida and Bengaluru. The income inequality across a specific narrow band of tech-literate white collar workers and the blue collar workers who serve them.

The numbers don’t lie here either
