Caught in the Middle
We all know India's middle class is in a bit of trouble. Job opportunities are shrinking. Salary hikes are vanishing. And inflation is eating into their incomes. Unfortunately, there are no immediate signs of things getting better anytime soon. In our new show, Caught in the Middle, senior business journalist Aunindyo Chakravarty will be tracking the fortunes of this middle class, speaking to experts and the people affected, and hopefully come up with some solutions.
Behind every report on the middle class, there are hours of digging, verifying, and connecting the dots. Bringing these stories to you requires persistence and resources.
