Why Indian states struggle for money and how technology can change it

Описание: Why do Indian states always struggle with money—even as the economy grows?

In this video, we break down the structural flaw in India’s federal financial system. States are responsible for critical services like healthcare, education, roads, and welfare, yet most powerful taxes are collected centrally. This creates dependency, delays, and chronic financial stress at the state and local level.

We explain this issue in simple terms, using system-level thinking instead of political debate. The video also explores how technology, geo-linked revenue sharing, and local-first economics can fix the problem by automatically linking taxes to the place where economic value is created.

This is not about blaming states or the central government.
It’s about redesigning the system so incentives work correctly.

If you’re interested in economics, governance, public finance, or how technology can improve policy outcomes, this video is for you.
