Summary
India’s middle class is facing a silent crisis: burnout. Gruelling hours, job insecurity, stagnant wages and rising living costs are pushing workers in tech, healthcare, government and the gig economy to the brink.
As layoffs mount and competition intensifies, employees endure toxic work cultures for fear of losing their jobs. Meanwhile, striving for success means piling on the pressure on yourself.
Yet some industry leaders say long workers hours should be expected; a necessary burden for India at the current stage of development, as the country continues its economic growth.
Can India achieve its development ambitions without sacrificing its workforce? Or will burnout derail the very demographic dividend meant to power the nation’s growth?
