from Swapnil Karkare Podcast: Economic Insights on India · host Swapnil Karkare

The Indian government released a factsheet on the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey conducted in 2022-23. I analysed it with Sushant Hede, a former Economist at Care Ratings and a Chartered Accountant. We discussed the good as well as bad aspects of it. We also brainstormed what lessons one can draw from this year's household consumption expenditure survey for policy-making and business strategies. Join us in the most in-depth and detailed video on consumption expenditure survey 2022-23. 👉🏼 Follow Sushant on - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sushant-hede-4676a613b/ #consumptionexpndituresurvey #mospi #economics #indiaeconomy #india #publicpolicy #politics #poverty #inequality #food #cereals #census #data #education #expenses #expenditure #income #savings #consumption #production #business #indianeconomics #indiangovernment #villages #cities #indiancities #ruraleconomy #rural #urbanlife #rurallife ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⏱️ Time Stamps 01:10: What is the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey?
