@Nithin0dha Why retire? Start a second career or even become an entrepreneur. If you take care of health, one can be productive till 80-90 years of age.
What Gen Z & even millennials don't think about enough is that the retirement age is dropping fast due to technological progress & life expectancy going up due to medical progress. In 20 years, retirement could be at 50 & life expectancy at 80. How do you fund the 30 years? 1/5.

Government must take private sector support for training and to create accountability. Our airports are the first experience of India and we must make this world class. This will only require a small change since the numbers are small.
Unfortunately immigration management has been pathetic ever since BIAL has been told not to interfere by central n state authorities. If u recall when BIAL started NRN had managed to get Govt to agree to get immigration officers computer trained - now it’s not possible.
