The document compares employees and work culture in India 35 years ago to the present. 35 years ago, India had a lower literacy rate and fewer private companies, so government jobs were preferred and there was less economic growth and standard of living. Now, India has higher literacy, more private companies, and private jobs are preferred. Work culture was also less competitive 35 years ago when money was less of a constraint, but now work pressure is higher and ambition is greater with money as the prime constraint. Opportunities were limited to government sectors and agriculture 35 years ago, but now many new private fields are available with more skilled labor and a 24/7 work culture.
