WEALTH CREATION

IMPORTANCE OF WEALTH CREATION

• For more than three-fourths of known economic history, India has been the
dominant economic power globally (Maddison, 2007). The country has
historically been a major wealth creator and a significant contributor to
world’s GDP.
• The exponential rise in India’s GDP and GDP per capita post liberalization
coincides with wealth generation in the stock market. Sensex has not only
grown after 1991, but has grown at an accelerating pace.
WEALTH
CREATED BY
ENTREPRENEURS

• we collated the companies


created by top 100 wealthy
entrepreneurs in the country
• we correlated the increase in
the entrepreneur’s wealth over
a decade with the benefits that
accrued to several other
stakeholders including
employees, suppliers, Figure shows that the wealth created by an entrepreneur
government, etc. correlates strongly with benefits that accrue to the employees
working with the entrepreneur’s firms.
• Figure 5 shows that the wealth
created by an entrepreneur
correlates strongly with raw
materials procured by the
entrepreneur’s firms, which
proxies the benefits that
suppliers reap by supplying raw
materials to the entrepreneur’s
firms. Similarly, Figure 6 shows
that the wealth created by an
entrepreneur correlates
strongly with the capital
expenditures made by the
entrepreneur’s firms, which
proxies the benefits that
manufacturers of capital
equipment reap by supplying
such equipment to the
entrepreneur’s firms.
CONTRIBUTION OF ENTREPRENEURS
TOWARDS WEALTH CREATION

• Revenues earned in foreign exchange enable macroeconomic stability by


enabling the country to pay for its imports and keeping the current account
deficit at manageable levels. Wealth creation by entrepreneurs correlates
strongly with the foreign exchange revenues earned by the entrepreneurs’
firms.
• Wealth created by an entrepreneur helps the country’s common citizens. Tax
revenues enable Government spending on creating public goods and providing
welfare benefits to the citizens.
THE INSTRUMENTS FOR WEALTH
CREATION

• Equal opportunities for new entrants are available for entrepreneurs and new
business owners. We can see a 10% increase in new firms in a district yields a 1.8%
increase in Gross Domestic District Product (GDDP).
• Entrepreneurship is dispersed across India and is not restricted just to a few
metropolitan cities.
• World Bank’s entrepreneurship data shows that new firm creation has gone up
dramatically since 2014. While the number of new firms grew at a cumulative
annual growth rate of 3.8% from 2006-2014, the growth rate from 2014 to 2018
has been 12.2%. As a result, from about 70,000 new firms created in 2014, the
number has grown by about 80% to about 1,24,000 new firms in 2018.
• Equal opportunity for new entrants in entrepreneurship enables efficient
resource allocation and utilization, facilitates job growth, promotes trade growth
and consumer surplus through greater product variety, and increases the overall
boundaries of economic activity.
• Fovernment intervention hurts more than it helps in the efficient functioning of
markets.
• For instance, in the pharmaceutical industry, government regulated formulation
prices increase more than unregulated formulations.
• Moreover, the supply of unregulated formulations is more than that of regulated
formulations.
• Government interventions often times lead to unintended consequences such as
price increases, when compared to markets that are unregulated.
• Since resources are limited, a nation has to make choices.
• For example, given its demographic dividend, should India focus on labour-
intensive industries or on capital intensive industries?
• Chapter 5 (Creating Jobs and Growth by Specializing to Exports in Network
Products) answers this question to lay out a clear-headed strategy for creating
crores of jobs through our export policies.
• The survey finds that by integrating “Assemble in India for the world” into
Make in India, India can create 4 crore well-paid jobs by 2025 and 8 crore by
2030.
• the ease of doing business has increased substantially in the last five years from
reforms that provided greater economic freedom.
• India made a substantial leap forward in The World Bank’s Doing Business
rankings from 142 in 2014 to 63 in 2019.
• Yet, the pace of reforms in enabling ease of doing business need to be
enhanced so that India can be ranked within the top 50 economies on this
metric.
• India continues to trail in parameters such as Ease of Starting Business,
Registering Property, Paying Taxes, and Enforcing Contracts
• An efficient financial sector is extremely crucial for enhancing efficiency in the economy.
• Historically, in the last 50 years, the top-five economies have always been ably supported by
their banks.
• The support of the U.S. Banking system in making the U.S. an economic superpower is well
documented.
• In recent times, as China has emerged as an economic superpower, it has been ably supported
by its banks—the top four largest banks globally are all Chinese banks.
• The largest bank in the world—Industrial and Commercial Bank of China—is nearly two times
as big as the 5th or 6th largest bank, which are Japanese and American banks respectively.
• India’s banking sector is disproportionately under-developed given the size of its economy. For
instance, India has only one bank in the global top 100
