Rs 1.2 Lakh Monthly Salary, Still Can't Buy a Home In India? Viral Post Sparks Debate
Akhilesh concluded the post with a powerful remark: 'The market is not broken. It's working exactly as designed—for someone else.' A recent post on social media platform X has reignited concerns over India's growing real estate affordability crisis. A techie named Akhilesh shared a striking anecdote about his friend in Gurugram who earns a hefty Rs 20 lakh per year, yet still finds himself priced out of the housing market. According to the post, Akhilesh's friend takes home around Rs 1.2 lakh per month after taxes and deductions. He lives modestly—no car, no kids, no extravagant lifestyle. Despite this, every residential project he visits in Gurugram starts at a staggering Rs 2.5 crore. These homes boast features like infinity pools, zen gardens, biometric lifts, and imported marble floors, making it clear that developers are targeting luxury buyers, not average professionals. The viral post struck a chord with many, especially young urban professionals. The core argument is simple: even those in the top 5% of India's income bracket can't comfortably buy a home in metro cities without compromising their financial security. Owning a house would mean living paycheck to paycheck, with no room for emergencies or even basic leisure. Akhilesh concluded the post with a powerful remark: 'The market is not broken. It's working exactly as designed—for someone else." The post captures a larger trend—how rapid urbanisation, speculative investments, and a push for ultra-luxury housing are making homeownership increasingly elusive, even for India's high earners. Anarock's Report Reveals Ultra-Luxury House In Demand Anarock's Annual Residential Report 2024 reveals that 59% of new housing projects in Delhi NCR, 18% in Hyderabad, and 12% in MMR were priced above Rs 2.5 crore, showing a rise in demand for premium homes among wealthy buyers and NRIs. NRIs, in particular, are playing a key role in this expansion, actively acquiring premium properties in major Indian metros as part of long-term wealth preservation strategies, noted a recent report by GRI Club. While the majority of new supply is focused on ultra-luxury homes, there is a noticeable shortage of homes in the upper mid-income and premium segments. Since the RERA law came into effect in 2017, there has been a significant increase in trust for developers who follow rules and deliver on time. This has led to a growing preference from NRIs for projects by such developers.

Nintendo Switch 2 Is Now Available But How Much Will It Cost In India?
Last Updated: Nintendo Switch 2 has not launched in India but that does not mean you cannot buy it today, however you pay a big price for the console. Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are available on shelves in select countries and people are eager to pick up their pre-booked units. But what about those in India, Nintendo has once again skipped launching the Switch model officially in the country, which means people will have to resort to other grey areas to grab theirs. We've seen this play out with the Sony PlayStation consoles over the years and the Switch 2 follows the same black market model that costs you a premium. Details are very limited about the Nintendo Switch 2 price in India but reliable sources given in this report suggest you would be paying anywhere between Rs 58,000 to Rs 65,000 to get the Switch 2 in the country. The high prices have been attributed to limited stocks in the regions from where the retailers will be getting the units. So if you want the Switch 2 in the first month of its launch, you have to pay a higher markup on the original price. However if you wait for a few months, the pricing will stabilise and make sense for people buying it. The details about the Switch 2 console price in India have been sourced by O451 Games newsletter which has a solid track record of sharing details about gaming consoles and their availability in the country. Nintendo has officially priced the Switch 2 console at $449.99 which puts it around Rs 38,200 but the reported price for the Switch 2 in takes it well above the Rs 100 value that most global brands use for their product pricing in the country. The console gets a 7.9-inch 1080p LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. When docked, it supports 4K resolution, elevating the gaming experience. Additionally, the redesigned magnetic Joy-Cons serve a dual purpose, functioning as both traditional controllers and a mouse. The Switch 2 will have 256GB of built-in storage that can be expanded via microSD Express cards. The system will be backwards compatible with both digital and physical Nintendo Switch titles, as was previously revealed. First Published: June 06, 2025, 10:38 IST

Mukesh Ambani reveals why he didn't take admission in..., donates Rs 151 crore to....
Mukesh Ambani reveals why he didn't take admission in…, donates Rs 151 crore to… New Delhi: One of the most richest men in the world Mukesh Ambani has recently donated a hopping whopping amount of Rs 151 crore to the prestigious Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), making it the biggest donation in the history of the institute. Notably, the chairman of the country's most valuable company – Reliance Industries – studied at the institute. Earlier known as the University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT), the ICT was established in the year 1933 by the University of Bombay. It was given the status of a deemed university in 2008 and subsequently renamed as ICT. Ambani announced the donation at the launch of Anita Patil's book 'The Divine Scientist'. The book is based on the life of Padma Vibhushan Professor Man Mohan Sharma. Many students consider him to be the greatest guru of Indian chemical engineering. While speaking about Guru Dakshina, the Reliance Chairman discussed several topics and announced a donation of Rs 151 crore to the institute at the behest of Sharma. 'When they tell us something, we just listen. They told me, 'Mukesh, you have to do something big for ICT', and I am happy to announce that it is for Professor Sharma,' Ambani said. Why Did You Not Go To IIT-Bombay Responding to the question, why did you not go to IIT-Bombay? Ambani stated, 'Visiting the UDCT campus always feels like visiting a sacred temple. Professor Sharma, I regard you as my most respected Guru, my guide and source of inspiration.' He recalled his fond memories of the institute and also praised Patil, saying, 'It is a very difficult task to write the life of a great man like Sharma.' I chose UDCT over IIT -Bombay.' Ambani stated that Sharma's inaugural lecture solidified his belief in Sharma's exceptional abilities. He described Sharma as a transformative figure, capable of converting curiosity into practical knowledge, then into profitable ventures, and finally into enduring wisdom. Ambani attributed major growth within India's chemical sector to Sharma bestowing upon him the title of 'Rashtra Guru' (national teacher).
