Some amazing facts about the Indian Wedding Industry: 🔹Weddings are now the SECOND BIGGEST industry in India! 🔹Indians actually spend more on their child's wedding than on 18 years of education. 🔹On average, they put aside 5x the per capita GDP of $2,900 just for this one event. 🔹And 20% of loans in India are taken to fund these grand celebrations. How does a country that's so price conscious become so lavish when it comes to weddings? What do you think?
