Irony is only 1% of india is paying direct tax. Out of which the rich are getting away with concessions from government and poor are getting freebies. It’s the middle class earning population who are being squeezed.

It would have been better to compare India in 2024 with India before 2014 to show whether the infrastructure is overhyped, but you chose to compare India with Singapore. You showed the data from 2015 to 2024 instead you could have shown the data from 2013 to get a clear picture. Elections are near, and you took your side.

Health care in singapore is very expensive in comparison to india a root canal treatment costs 1 lakh

Do not see the video with the political views but based on the video make your political decisions 😂😂, comparing with Singapore which not having huge population to carry and external threats issues. Running personal finance and running a country with keeping eyes in all aspects is not the same. I will prefer to listen these country level economics from Sanjeev Sanyal🙏

Comparing Singapore with India is blatantly stupid. Singapore is the size/population of Bengaluru.

I respect your view, but u have not experienced the quality of govt services, hence dont compare private with govt services .

I think comparing Singapore and India is like, comparing cats and elephants. It takes time to build infrastructure. Also to change any education policy there has to be a bill passed in the parliament, which is a stupid long process. 10 years of this Government is a Ray hope, than the previous 50 years by other governments. There is a scope of improvement, but the transformation that you are visualising will take some time, with the previous pot holes to be filled. I respect you as a finance educator, but I think you are too critical of the current government for some reason.

Akshat, we live in europe, all upcosts you mentioned for india is here as well, its even worse here in some cases. Very interesting to common man if you can compare data btw India and EU and share Indias rank in up costs. For example- our monthly home loan instalment in early 2022 was 0.55L INR, today it is 1.1L INR

You have touched a very delicate topic and I respect your arguments. However, you have ruled out the fact that India is not a 'Developed' nation, it's still a developing nation. To benefit the end users, it will still take a lot of time. Secondary, how many highways and expressways do you see that are digged the very next day that they are built... NONE. It only happens inside the city limits, mostly due to corruption. Your point on returns to tax payers is correct.

You're basically missing out one of the most important facts about Singapore is that its not a democracy the people won't take the streets to oppose any infrastructure projects if they wanted they could just demolish urban areas to build projects without any hesitation and opposition

I don't know if Indian growth story is overhyped or not but i can see development all around. When I walk i see more vehicles and more traffic jams. When I travel i see jam packed airports and record number of flights taking off. Stock markets booming and rating agencies increasingly praising Indian economy. I see 5 trillion economy, 4th largest Stock market, 3rd largest economy, highest GDP. I see people are spending more.

He is using The Wire as his source. The only thing left now, is a collab with German Shepherd.

Doesn't the size of the country also matter?

To cut the long story short as per the title - In 2014 we had 74 airports now 149. Cities with metros were 5 now 20. Rail track in kms were 21k kms now its 6000k kms. Highways , waterways etc are also on the positive side.

Comparing Oranges and Apples . Singapore is 40 KMS (size of Mumbai ) and cannot be compared with India. I agree that there are challenges however building infra for a country like India will take time .

Loksabha elections have started showing its impact. :) You've chosen ur side @akshat

2:33 - houses are given as leases for 99 years. After the father dies, the son continues the lease. And it goes on.

99% of comments are saying same thing akshat. You are wrong here. I wont waste my time with uou anymore. Goodbye, thanks for teaching us economics. Unsubscribing, peace off

Akshat, yes you provided some data, but you just forgot to mention where we were in 2014. Do a comparative video instead of showing one sided story. That way you can show yourself as unbiased.

You compare everything with Singapore but why not with the USA is Singapore better than the USA , ALSO you should present data with both the perspective, please accept you are not a reporter you are just a youtuber,

When nothing was happening there was no abuse there was sympathy that in coalition govt there is no power in govt. When something happens they say no water in pipelines, No money in Jan Dhan account, No connectivity of planes

The uneducated and corrupted politicians and the lazy mindset of Indian people is the reason.

South Korea, America , Japan also helping their rich people to build more infra, technologies and they are getting good results. You can't compare country like India 🇮🇳with Singapore

OK, I live in a small city in Assam, I've seen pothole free roads, street lights in every corner, a smooth national highway takes me to a 60 kms away city in an hour( which took 3, because there was literally 20kms of roads and rest were potholes, a bridge that takes me to the other part of the river in 10 mins( which took an entire days with ferries), and many more, that's infrastucture for me

Why bro all topics appear to influence election.. a lot of influencers seem to makea lot of election money... Waiting for your followers to jump up and say accept reality ..

Comparing apples and oranges, why skip political rights in Singapore!

You cannot compare Singapore with India. India is massive and so many political parties. If they are as strict as they are in Singapore ppl will call that government a dictatorship here. Also the cost of living there is super highr

From where you get the data of 15% unemployment rate in India? Any source please mention that will helps us more.

I did not understand the 2nd point, where you mentioned that government needs to step into sectors such as telecom and airports. Keeping in mind that until a few years ago, the opinion and facts pointed how in-efficient government run institutions work and they keep bleeding money, prime example is BSNL and MTNL, and thus, we wanted to move to a private or a public private model, where efficiency will be better, prices will be charges based on the quality of service and govt should just act as a regulator to ensure fair practive and level playing field, rather than be a controlling player.

Indian growth stories has just begun after a long period of stagnant. First five years foundations are laid. Next five years infrastructure are started. Building infrastructure are time taking, so you have some patience. Minimum 35 years will be needed to give a shape. It may take more time due to 70 years of stagnancy and mental condition against developments. It is just like industries and businesses are first grown by the entrepreneurs, as soon as businesses are flourishing ECONOMIES are trying to take credit.

What is the relation betwen youth unemployment and infra? Projects by center are much much better cant compare it city road.

State owned telecom, aiports? We will be moving backwards in time. I think we forgot what was happening pre liberalisation of 1991. Education and healthcare are only sectors which should state regulated and improved. All the other sectors should be made self sustainable in terms of profitibility and staying in business. Will the govt be able to do that?

In the growth story, the real question is who all actually grew in the last decade? Who all are continuing to grow, who all are struggling and who all actually became worse especially since 2020. What is the status of income and wealth of the citizens in the country?

Man how can we compare Singapore vs India? entirely different. Unemployment is majorly because expectation is too high salary. I know few small scales who are waiting to get better candidate at proper salary price. Bias view against India Infrastructure development. How can you get 1000 city connectivity or utilization on immediate basis? If Job market of 2023 and 2024 is slowed so you expect NO need New IIT and IIM? (you are not ready to give due time). Another crying did you visited recently to Northeast or J&K. Except Education reform points (Which is also happening) no major suggestions in your video than cribbing. (showing same news again and again) Based on last few videos very sure till 4th June We are going to see more and more. Which was not the case till Feb End.

Just we need, This government doing better than privious government 😂😂😂.

Singapore is built using blood money , most rich who looted thier countries , came and settled here or invested becoz most of them are like minded people with money and can easily control the small nations govt.

One imp point missed is low population of singapore.

Few observations 1. References of wire, its not trustworthy, can you give some solid proofs for the calculatio? Roads and its quality is visible in last few years. 2. Most of the airtel companies have their own towers infrastructure. Can you give stats? 3. Strategic assets going to private companies. True but rates going high at the moment is debatable. 4. Statues. We love to visit eifel tower which is aajor contributor to frances economy. We we dont want to build something like that? 5. Government schools agree 100%, need proper supprt, education cost is growing exponentially.

Sir I have one doubt, isn't central government's road infra projects majorly related to National Highway(NHAI) and Expressways, which are necessary and mostly in good condition especially the newly constructed ones to connect the border areas. And digging/re-digging mostly happened on city and local roads, which mostly under different account.

A quick Qs. Isn't the unemployment rate of India compared to developed nations were always low? And being in the Job market, the current job loss is predominantly for business recovery and automation. Ai is still years away but fast coming all the low repetitive works are going to get obsolete. So ... Its a catch up story from people, to govt to technology change.

People will criticise but sharing todays reality is not political. We support you. I also suffer same that trains are coming and this that but you can't get ticket even 2-3 months before

What a confusing baseless video. 7:34 First he talks about infrastructure growth linking it with the unemployment rate 17:08 Then agreeing on the skills issue for the high unemployment rate

For starters if we compare the total area across these two countries there is no chance of straight forward comparison at all

Suprisingly, Akshat doesn't know that in UK, USA and in many countries, railways are privately owned. But in India, it is NOT. Of course, then it is very convenient to talk only about Changi airport. Comparing with Singapore, it has started it's work from 1965 and then today (or since a few years back) it is at this stage. Why India is at this stage even if it got freedom in 1947 ? Also the spending on infrastructure was so poor in the first 50 years, did Akshat asks these questions to himself or openly ? NO, because the true answers are not convenient for him.

You think Air India should not have been privatised? Should infra have been given to PSU's ?

He is nowadays deviating away from stocks to politics because of upcoming elections. Unfocused.

Fact check - IIT bombay clarified about the low placements. More students opted to go for business or startup or higher studies so the low placement

A senior here with international experience. One thing which boggles my mind here is that people in the child bearing age see the quality of life here and the expense levels - yet want to have two or more kids. No wonder the kid wants to run off abroad the first chance they get. It is also very important that all communities behave in the same way - there is a need to face reality. With this load there is no way any government can do anything - the political parties - whoever it is - will play one group against the other.

Singapore comparison with India is not correct. It is a tiny country all around.

We could have been like Singapore if we thought of it very early. Like 1947. Singapore in name of democracy is ruled by single government for ever. That type helps, here full politics only. Country is secondary party first.

Talk about politics and not call it political 😂 Akshat bhai one observation your video content is trending to be political as we nearing election 😂😂 Hope all good

Compared to hopeless 28 corrupt opposition NDA bjp looks honest sincere dedicated non Dynasty non corrupt workoholic leadership. Also it's helping economy fastest growing economy when World is struggling. Cleaning is going on its not that easy 65 years stuff cleaning takes time. Pl give time. You are also part of this successful economy understand

You always mention 'dont make it political' and yet you always make it political and I feel you want it to be made political

Akshat in election mode 😅 BTW alteast now the infra has improved a lot and still in progress. Terrorism, naxalism has come down a lot. New airports, trains, IIT, IIMs, AIIMS, Start ups etc etc. And the world wants to invest in india looking at its growth rate and good govt at its helm and thats why you are able to earn crores of profit 😅 .Atleast we are progressing and there a long road ahead. You should present your case with since independence why cant we progress like Singapore China before, who prevented us. Do the present govt has the right intent and atleast we are moving fast. I am not any govt supporter but your videos sometimes seem to push a narative in disguise like dhruv rathi.

India is 3,287,259 square kilometers, while Singapore is 719 square kilometers. India is about 4,571 times larger than Singapore.

Akshat thanks for the video, very insightful , and i also agree with few comments below that, Singapore & India cant be compared due to many reasons, I don't know if its right to say that many different class of Indians are complacent due to the freebies given by different political parties which is increasing the unemployment. I just pray & hope we will expand by 8% for next 10 years to come

Sir, you talked about disproprotionate capex among diff states...imo instead of spending money on all states, if we focus on specific states (coastal), it will lead concentration of wealth in those places ....and ofcourse this will lead to internal migration from underdeveloped regions to these states. Isn't that how China also developed?? after economic reforms by Deng Xiaoping, people from rural areas migrated to coastal states, and thats how they got cities like Shanghai, HongKong, and Shenzhen Financial district.

As you promised in Last Live that you will make specific video regarding solar stocks, hydrogen stocks and targeting next decade opportunities.. Please take it into consideration..

In Singapore, there's notable stability in government and decision-making processes. Conversely, India has experienced fluctuations in stability, particularly evident in the past with inconsistent decision-making under coalition governments. Privatization is seen as a solution for ensuring consistent and swift decision-making, albeit potentially at a higher cost. This approach aims to enhance infrastructure development, citing examples like the delayed construction of vital projects such as the Mumbai Metro. While countries like the USA and Canada offer free healthcare, accessing services can be time-consuming, leading many to opt for more expensive private healthcare or even seek treatment in India. The sluggishness in government-led initiatives, such as strategic port construction, has been attributed to bureaucratic hurdles, allowing nations like China to gain an edge through their efficient decision-making and implementation. However, it's acknowledged that comparing India to countries like Singapore isn't straightforward due to differences in population size and political landscape. In India, voting patterns are influenced by factors like caste, quotas, and direct benefits rather than solely on developmental agendas. While India has benefited from decisive leadership under charismatic figures like Prime Minister Modi, concerns arise regarding future governance under multi-party coalitions. Privatizing core activities is proposed as a means to ensure operational continuity even amidst political transitions.

Hey just a follow up question(s): 1. Could it be a time-lag issue? As in, money spent wouldn't immediately lead to improvements in the economic indicators. Is it possible that we just need to wait for some time before the numbers improve? 2. Singapore has a lot of important industries controlled by Govt agencies, but US has a lost of important industries controlled by private sector. Is one necessarily better than other? Shouldn't the focus just be on ensure the company controlling things is good at what it does?

I feel the problem with giving projects to government companies is that the government employee has a babu ji culture. Once they get the job they'll not work whereas in a private company you know if you don't perform you'll be fired while if you're a government employee even if you're suspended you'll receive I think 70% of your salary for just sitting at home😮

Dedicated freight coridor, ports lead infrastructure development, sagarmala etc are big ticket projects which directly benefit public and manufacturers. There are many bridges, metro trains, roads that improved connectivity throughout the india benefiting people as well as armed forces of India. But education and healthcare must be improved in India Coming to unemployment part people themselves have to upskill themselves with relevant industry requirements government can't help here.

I stay in middle of Bangalore city, on any given day it takes less than 50 minutes from airport.. if hebbal bottle neck is clear it will be standard 40 minutes not more...

Your comparison with India and Singapore is not right I think. Because size of Singapore and India you know very well. So you can't compare India with Singapore. Because I was a Singapore pr before.

and i thought you are an investment advisor!!

Same is in Gurugram, only highway is well built but when you go interiors you find broken roads,filth, encroachment.Moreover after every office space there are wine shops.There is severe water crisis in summers and city converts into canal during rains.

Comparing India with Singapore might be like comparing big corporation with startup company. Startups can be nimble and can grow faster but big corporations move slow. So I think same applies to countries. Countries with large population have overhead of scalability. One example I can give is increased competition for jobs. Because of economies of scale, less maintenance/bureaucratic jobs are needed to maintain cities with larger population. So the ratio of jobs to the population is less.

Key takeaway: india needs to invest in skill development of commoners who are spending most of their times on phones. Can this be taken up as a entrepreneurial pov and can something be implemented that the end users of reels/ipl watchers do something good with their time?

Earlier i felt Akshat is genuine content creator and started watching his videos. now a days he is making completely biased videos. by listening to him if people not vote for BJP, imagine what may happen if congress alliance rule come to power again... he might not have observed, opposition parties never talk about development, they just determined to defeat BJP and come to power... there is no plan for development of India. India can not compare with USA or Japan or Singapore. BSNL has very bad service, Akshat wont talk about that. that bad service is because of it is a government company. If everything is in government hand, there definelty we can expect more corruption. this Akshat may not be understanding. May be money changes people like Akshat..

True! The channel is on election mode. Though all the problems are counted in this video, he completely forgot to highlight & appreciate the significant developments happening in every sector in India.

As a person who visits Bharat twice a year only, I see a radical shift everytime I visit. Everything feels modified, something new is being built or renovated which is at par with USA and Europe. By that standard, your views feel biased and deliberately misguiding.

Mr. Srivastava forgot that Singapore grew very fast, because they have less geographical area to handle. Just like your Goa. Comparing India and Singapore is illogical.

I was immensely impressed by his stock market and financial education videos and have been one of the early subscribes. Finally, he is meddling into the messy waters of politics. Hope he knows that with large number of followers comes huge expectations and responsibilities. Getting to where he is I am sure must have taken real hardwork, but I am having doubts if he will remain there with conspiracy theory ridden opinions with vague generalization of issues which closet Congress supporters nowadays are pumping up. Hoping he is not a closet Congressi like Raghuram Rajan. Also, adding verbal disclaimers like if you take it as political opinion "I don't care" or "It won't matter me" is really immature. Adding excerpts from highly biased news outlet and saying it is not a political opinion really does not hold any water. Hope he still remembers there are lakhs of people who are giving up their precious time to watch his content. Any entity berating it's own subscribers' or customers' opinion walks a dangerous slippery slope, just ask Mumbai Indians and Hardik Pandya.

Totally agree with the jobs situation, we are till very much dependent on foreign companies for placements. Placements stats in this year in even old IIT's is not good, and in 2nd gen IITs its even worse. I left job to upskill and get into an IIT, but now looking at the situation it feels like it was a wrong move.

While building highways is important, how often do you use a highway personally? as as someone that lives in a metro city or tier-2 city. People living in villages definitely dont need to use them so frequently. most people do not commute long distances by highways anyway, they take trains. The key benefit of highways is movements of goods and we all know what level mehengai has reached. Focus should be on developing local roads.

Mr Akshat trying his best before elections, over the past 2 months hes been trying his best, no proboem wen there is a coalition govt, but the way govt handled covid, Rera, pli, ibc, rural electrification, infra , etc we find probems, anyways kudos to ur efforts ,All the very best Akshat Ji!!

Why waste time trading yourself and taking risks when you can use copy trading with Eledator?

Whatever you said was 100% correct.. It is not easy for a normal person to understand the nuances behind these politics.. Great work👍

He isn’t trying to be political but he is releasing this weeks before election 😂

Timing sir Zee. Election..... Every one wants to play politic.... including Akshat Shrivastava 😀😃

Hey akshat. I recently started researching about equity investment and was excited. But after sometime I see videos saying no one will be able to beat the market so just invest in index funds, this demotivated me to learn about analysis and stocks. Could you make a video regarding how true and relevant that statement is for small time common investors

Hey Akshat, imagine grabbing a random Ramesh/suresh off the street and infusing them with your financial wizardry until they're on par with you. Then, turn it into a how-to for the masses. Sound like a wild ride?

Excellent. Also, the term for what you described, is 'plutocracy'. Many don't realize that india has become an autocracy, moving towards authoritarianism with plutocratic policies.

Well said. Apparently many people lost the concerns raised over their emotional heads. We need India to grow hollistically and fast.

Lol he started with saying I will give my unbiased opinion and started to target government’s role and comparing apples to oranges. Dont be lunatic and callout openly that government is not doing good instead of portraying yourself as non biased analysts which you are not. He talks about unemployment rate of US and Japan where youth population is less as compared to India’s youth population. He gives example about Singapore which is authoritarian government and there is only one ruling party. If BJP government starts implementing the policies that Singapore government has done over the years, he will be the first guy to chest thump about dictatorship. Talking about free education, government backed companies look at the size and population of Singapore. What he conveniently avoided that Singapore’s health system is hell expensive even more than here in USA. He conveniently avoided how other government PSU are doing great. There are too many points to counter his arguments. My only request is atleast be sensible the way you provide financial advice to your subscribers and not to show your political inclination in your analysis.

Akshat hv u joined Congress .And has left ur expertise of Market expert .why such videos specially during elections to influence public against govt..to vote for Congress . Shame

Subject Not your core strength. A few points in brief: 1) no comparison between nations considered (population & demographics), internal & external security environment, system of governance, geographical spread, starting point) 2) impact of infra is felt over several decades n we have just begun 3) you completely miss time and space etc. etc.

Lot of good words about Singapore..and then you realise Vauld's headquarter was at Singapore.. aap chronology samjhiye😅

Hi Akshat, you are smart and intelligent person. How can you compare a small autocratic country like Singapore with a vast complex country with excessive democracy like India? Of course I agree on all other points that we lack as a country

I am old enough to analyse what is the status, quality and speed of infra development then and now. There is no comparison.

We have just started building infra. We have to keep building for next 20 years...More, wider expressway, high speed trains, airports etc. We have not touched the cities yet. It will start happening...demolish independent houses in high density areas, consolidate into large Apartment blocks so there are more open spaces for Parks and wider roads, more Metro lines etc... The game has just begun

The matter is "THE SELFLESS DISCIPLINE MATTERS" for all of us whether it's public or leaders or govt officers....

SBI and many public sector banks were forced to write off loans by Modi govt (approx ~16 lakh crore)🤯And GST was collected from the general public for many years but the debts of the billionaires were waived off 😶 Harsh truth!!

I'm completely agree with you Akshat. But what is the Solution of it ? Currently, The Majority of Indian Youth are busy with their Entertainment, Low Skill youth is completely consumed in Reels , Media and other stuff. And the high Skill (Kind of Intelligent ) youth is trapping into the debts by aspiring a lavish lifestyle. So technically very few people like you , are out there who is seeing and addressing these issues.

You should also talk about how lot of money is going into farm subsidies, which is leading to waste of rice in godowns and import of pulses. There is no money left for education and healthcare. If the above wastage can be stopped, then education and healthcare expenditure can be increased.

12 cities from India give about 50% of the services revenue GDP , so focus will.have to be more on that. Town planning is missing in most cities ......

To compare a city-state like Singapore with the area and population of a large Indian city and a fairly homogeneous local population with the whole of India is dumb

Don’t worry about the negative comments. They are doing nothing…..there skills are same as 10 years back. So you just focus on sharing your knowledge Akshat

I've learnt that the ease of doing business in India is difficult but there are some states, mainly Gujarat, where the ease of business is very good. Therefore, money tends to flow where it can grow easier. So the inflow of money for development depends on the centre, state government as well as the public of that particular state.
