In his interview given on the sidelines of the India Conference at Harvard University, Gill sad that the rest of the world really cares a lot about the size of the Indian economy. For Indians, of course, what really matters much more is the quality of living, standards of living. That actually depends a lot on the per capita income of a country, he said.
"I think that that was a distinction I was trying to make. The GDP matters a lot to outsiders. GDP per capita matters a lot to Indians. The tend to say India rising, it's a very good way to put it because India's per capita income is around $2000 to $2,500. We don't want it to stop there. We want it to become $25,000 even more," Gill said.
