India Chooses Prosperity Over Wealth
High school isn't just about discovering what you're good at. It's about asking: Who am I? What do I value? What kind of life am I building toward?
For India, after the chaos of middle school—when H1B restrictions forced 100,000 engineers to stay home—those answers are crystallizing. And they're not what we expected.
This is Episode 4 of 5 in the prequel series exploring what happens when India can't export its talent and must build everything at home instead.
📌 KEY CONCEPTS IN THIS EPISODE:
Redefining Prosperity: Not bank balance, but access to food, clothing, shelter, education, healthcare (₹40K/month threshold in India)
The Great Return: Why tier-2 cities matter—that's where the "just below prosperity line" cohort lives
Dharmic Capitalism: Prosperity for purpose after basics are covered, not endless "more, more, more"
Sridhar Vembu/Zoho Example: Building for the long term in rural Tamil Nadu, proving the model works
India-Scale Innovation: UPI as proof we can build world-class original systems (not copycats)
Partners Welcome: Multinationals, NRIs play critical roles when aligned with prosperity goals

ABOUT THE FULL SERIES:
The prequel (5 episodes, ~3 mins each) explores the emotional and psychological transformation. The main series (10 episodes, 8-12 mins each, launching 2026) will detail the actual policy blueprint—mechanisms, timelines, prosperity metrics—for how India systematically moves 100 million people across the prosperity line by 2030.

PROSPERITY LINE CONCEPT:
Unlike poverty line (measures deprivation), prosperity line measures threshold for dignified life. In India: ~₹40K/month enables a family to access quality food, adequate clothing, secure shelter, education for children, reliable healthcare. Currently ~10% of India above this line. Strategy: Focus on cohort just below line, move them across systematically, then next cohort. Not trying to lift all 1.4 billion at once—that's paralysis. Segment by segment progress.

DHARMIC CAPITALISM:
Prosperity for purpose, not endless accumulation. Cover the five basics, then use surplus for community benefit—long-term investments, hometown development, patient capital. Not renunciation, but contentment. Building where you live, for people you know. Sridhar Vembu's Zoho (profitable, global, in rural Tamil Nadu) proves this model works at scale.
