The Book of Hard Truths: Why India’s Middle Class Is at a "Breakpoint" | Saurabh Mukherjea

In this deep-dive, Saurabh Mukherjea and Sapana Bhavsar share the data-backed reality behind our latest book, "Breakpoint." This is an honest conversation about the structural crossroads facing millions of middle-class Indians, the engine of our economy.Saurabh pulls back the curtain on the questions for which answers were long overdue:

➡️ Why is our education system producing millions of graduates who are essentially "unemployable" in a world of Generative AI?

➡️ AI is no longer just replacing factory labour; it is hollowing out the cognitive roles of coders, analysts, and managers.

➡️ As job security fades, why are smart professionals borrowing more than ever to maintain global lifestyles they can no longer afford?

➡️ What happens to an economy when its "productive" class stops saving and starts gambling their wealth in F&O markets?

This isn't just another book. Saurabh explains why "Breakpoint" is a necessary read for three specific groups: the modern professional, the aspirational youngster, and the nation's policy makers.

The major question remains: If the middle class is the nation’s engine, what happens when that engine is under the pump and running on debt?
