Back

One of my friends will shift to the United States in 2020, but right now, in 2024, I'll have 1000 times more money in my bank account than him. He visits India twice a year, and every time before going back to the USA, his whole family goes to the barbershop to get their hair trimmed because they cannot afford it in the United States. It's strange, but it's true. Another point I'd like to make is that most Indians nowadays want to stay in India rather than move overseas.

If the average savings amount to $500, that means ₹41,000 in India. The average savings of a person abroad exceed the salary package of the best-paid individual in India. Consider the magnitude of savings they have accumulated.

Its not about just rich dreams, but many are fed up with their social life and happiness

What most people don't get is they are calculating their income after converting it in indian rupee 😂 , the most dumbest thing . They don't know the term known as PURCHASE POWER PARITY 😂

Nothing just a poor mentality makes you poor

Not so true. When do they become rich? When they send their savings back to India to set up a business or use it as an investment. This is what most of the NRIs do for which they are called" rich" and this is really traumatic for people in their home countries striving very hard to earn.

Education abroad and the promise of good job opportunities are the primary reasons why many Indians are drawn to the Western world. However, despite these initial motivations, the reality often falls short of expectations. Economic challenges, limited job prospects, and intense competition make success elusive for many. Cultural adjustments, high living costs, and social pressures further complicate matters for those who relocate. Consequently, while some individuals may thrive, others find themselves disillusioned and return home without achieving their desired outcomes. Anyways, despite the challenges, it's important for us to offer Indians abroad support, love, and good luck as they pursue the journey

Great insight I too have seen a great decline in USA trend. And when you compare small expenses like internet, grocery and huge expenses like medical , buying home then you got to know the reality

Reverse Brain Drain is on the way...

I think this trend has now changed a bit with changing things in India as well, the IT culture is also having a big boom here also and it will grow more in coming years.

Right pointed out by someone, i believe it’s the aspiration for higher living standards, more than the opportunity, as opportunities are only means to fulfill those standards at the end of the day.

Exactly the PPP should be kep in mind

True. Multiple NRIs are now returning to India because at least tech salaries are now getting way better in India

PPP. People need to understand it,

Moving abroad is literally over now. They will definitely return here after 5 to 10 years and I don't think going abroad is even relevant after 5 years. People dreaming it's a heaven and moving there that all their problems would vanish. Some people hyping their jobs in social media is the prime reason here.

They basically have 2 options be middle class/rich in a developed country or try getting rich in developing country It's all about priorities
