Ashneer Grover
Entrepreneur Ashneer Grover recently emphasized the importance of measuring India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) based on per capita income, calling it the “true measure of development.” Grover’s post on X gained significant traction, with users expressing agreement. One user noted India’s GDP rank as 5th globally but highlighted the lower per capita income rank at 128.
While some supported Grover’s stance, emphasizing the need to consider parameters beyond per capita income, like purchasing power parity, mental well-being, and quality of life, others disagreed. A few argued that per capita income, especially in absolute terms, might not accurately reflect standards of living due to varying costs globally.

In contrast, a dissenting view highlighted challenges in using per capita income as a true measurement, citing income distribution disparities and the impact of purchasing power parity. Despite the ongoing debate, S&P Global Market Intelligence predicted India’s rise to the third-largest economy globally by 2030, with a projected GDP of USD 7.3 trillion, fueled by robust economic growth in 2021 and 2022.
