Human prosperity involves more than just financial and material wealth. It encompasses social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual aspects as well. While India has significant human capital and natural resources, it is underutilizing its human resource potential. To fully optimize human resources and promote shared prosperity, India needs reforms to its educational system, job opportunities, and mindsets to encourage skills development, equal opportunities, and long-term sustainable goals over short-term individual gains. Management has an important role to play in developing human talent and steering it productively.
