Ep 65: Understanding India's Pensions Disaster
There was a time when India's pensions system grew to become a threat to the country. Then we fixed it -- kinda. And now it's going to hell again.
Welcome to Episode 65 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.
In this episode, Ajay takes us through the history and evolution of pensions, why the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) was such a catastrophe, how there was a bipartisan consensus on the New Pension Scheme (NPS), and how this field is on fire again. And of course, why it matters -- because it does!
