I do not live in India but am studying the different levels in Indian society, so found this post very useful. The most interesting thing for me was the availability of the Internet, or lack of, for Indians. There is a long way to go, but we all know it will get there in the end.

There’s a report from Indicus Analytics comparing district level GDP from 2007.

According to that report, the top 3 markets in the country in terms of per-capita GDP are Mumbai, Mumbai Suburban and Chandigarh.

Their data inputs seem to be more comprehensive than an ownership survey.

Only 1 lakh Indians have traveled abroad for a holiday? Not sure if that can be right…

Hard to believe the numbers. Accounts for 1% of Indian population only. I would guess that there are sure more who own a car and a computer/LCD. Beats me.

Hello Arun Sir

Great blog post. Read your interview on blogadda and liked it.
I always used to wonder how people are categorized as affluent Indians, upper middle class, etc. I just could not find the criteria for this categorization.

Very informative post :)
