This is slightly a different topic, but I thought this is important topic to be discussed. In my opinion Indian culture is totally different than western countries & our economy can never be compared to theirs. I may be wrong, but I am going to list out top 15 reasons in #Thread
1st
Bread vs Roti
Homemade Roti is good is taste & very healthy food, but in western countries including lsIamic countries mainly rely on bread. Bakery business in US is worth $450 billion
If Indians switch to bread instead of rice/roti then we add $1 trillion to economy

2nd
Fast Food Industry
While we Indians love our mom made & homemade food, western countries mainly rely on fast food or processed food industry for their daily meals. Fast food industry in US is worth $250 billion
With Zomato culture creeping in, but we will stick to roots

Processed food
If you are bored of eating pizza or sandwiches, just walk to the nearest supermarket and pick your favourite packaged from the shop and save your cooking efforts.
You will get almost everything you could imagine
Packaged food industry in US worth $800 billion

4th
Processed Meat
Trust me this is my last tweet on food in this thread
Processed meat industry is worth almost $400 billion.
So by not cooking food at home, can fetch US around $2 Trillion
. We Indians will stick to homemade shudh desi food and rightly so.

Toilet Paper
By not using water, US is generating $30-40 billion through toilet & hygiene paper industry.
Can we adapt to this change, certainly not, plus not good for the environment.

6th
Automobiles
US is a automotive industry driven country with 18 million employees & worth $550 billion/yr
US has very poor public transport network & u must have a car to commute. In India car is luxury & not necessity, we have public transport plus other means of transport

7th
Cola
In India, whenever we fall sick, doctor says drink enough water but in western countries they prefer cola over water. No restaurants in west will offer u free water like we do in India. Cola industry is also worth $200 Billion
No nariyal pani, only cola

8th
Bottled Water
In most of the western countries, they barely drink tap water, in some cities the tap water is good & some places out of question. Their economic model relies on selling bottled water. This industry in US is worth $61 billion, globally it is around $250-300 B

9th
Tea vs Coffee
We Indians are teatotalers, we start our morning with home made tea, plus we have millions of chaiwalas to serve us during the day but West is more inclined to coffee, worth $90 billion in US out of which $65 B is take away coffee & $15 B for home consumption

10th
Liquor Industry
Liquor industry in US is worth $1.5 Trillion vs mere $35 Billion in India
Liquor traditionally considered taboo in Indian families, but west never allowed Indian liquor industry to grow, we have all the raw materials available with traditional flavours

Tourism
West is known for its tourism & this industry in US os worth $1.1 Trillion, creates 9 million jobs whereas in India tourism industry is worth $240 billion & creates 43 million jobs. Here we hav scope to improve, please take domestic holiday instead of International

Innovation
This is an area whr we are lacking way behind, US technology industry is now worth more than $9 Trillion. We Indians adapt to new changes, but we r not innovators, barring ISRO, we hardly gave any innovation to world post independence. We hav huge potential here

Work life balance
One area, whr we Indians are fooled frm decades wid myths like ppl in west deliver more in 8 hrs than wat u deliver in 12hrs & they keep slogging you. One employee is doing task of 2, most of you can realise it. But having work life balance boosts economy

Pay structure
In India we have a very poor pay structure, one of the highly underpaid countries in the world. Low wages will make India super power is another big myth, unless u increase salaries & give ppl more money to hav purchasing power, boost consumption & economy.

I gave you my top 15 reasons why we comparing the economic parameters of west with India, makes no sense. We have totally different culture and we can't adapt to their lifestyle. We can never leave roti & switch to bread, homemade food can't be replaced by burger & sandwiches.
When I say West, it includes Europe, US & developed countries. I hav included figures of US coz its easy to compare their figures with ours
When talk about billions of USD, recently I had come across a statement that Amazon will invest $1 billion in India & create 1 million jobs

However, innovation, technology, tourism, pay structure, work life balance, liquor industry are some areas whr we huge potential to improve and we can boost domestic consumption & exports to make India trade surplus
