The traditional consumption-driven growth model that powered the nation's post-1991 economic rise is buckling under the weight of three simultaneous shocks: rapid technological disruption eliminating white-collar jobs faster than new ones emerge, stubborn wage stagnation eroding purchasing power as essential inflation climbs at double digits, and explosive household debt levels that now surpass those seen in the US and China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWith graduate unemployment sitting at a staggering 29 percent, the IT sector shedding jobs to AI, flatlining real wages, and FMCG volume growth collapsing from 10 percent to 3 percent, India's core economic engine is at risk. Drawing on exhaustive data and sharp financial insights, Saurabh Mukherjea, Nandita Rajhansa, and Sapana Bhavsar reveal how the country arrived at this precipice and chart the path forward. Yet, amidst the turmoil lies an extraordinary entrepreneurial revolution—sparked by policy shifts and changing social attitudes—that could completely reshape the Indian economy. The middle-class mutiny has begun: will it end in collapse, or transformative renewal?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhy this book is a must-have:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRenowned Authorship:\u003c\/b\u003e Co-authored by bestselling financial expert Saurabh Mukherjea (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"84\"\u003eCoffee Can Investing\u003c\/i\u003e) alongside Nandita Rajhansa and Sapana Bhavsar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCrucial Economic Insights:\u003c\/b\u003e Tackles the pressing realities of white-collar unemployment, AI disruption, inflation, and household debt in modern India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eActionable Forward Path:\u003c\/b\u003e Explores the emerging entrepreneurial landscape and systemic solutions capable of rescuing consumption and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEssential Reading:\u003c\/b\u003e A must-have for investors, policymakers, economists, business leaders, and anyone deeply invested in India's financial future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eUnderstand the shifts shaping tomorrow's economy.
