Ashish Singhal, CEO at Peepal and cofounder of CoinSwitch and Lemonn, called middle-class salaries the 'biggest scam no one talks about'.
Singhal highlighted the minimal growth in income for middle and upper middle-class groups compared to rising food prices and reduced purchasing power.
He mentioned that AI poses a threat to white-collar jobs and only a few job vacancies are being filled due to AI impact.
Singhal emphasized that while attention is on the welfare of the poor and the ultra-rich are growing, the middle class is expected to support the economy silently.
