Mr. Pranav Pai seems to be an economist, as he said due to demonetization there is the pick in digital penetration, well... has he got the stats in other fields of our economy as the after effects of demonetization? it's like due to demonetization I have recovered from my diarrhea. Does he know that Indian economy is currently going through terrible growth recession for the last four consecutive quarters and also industrial slow down.

A lot of people are debating whether he is a bhakt or liberal. Guys before we drag our conclusions, let us not forget he is alumnus of Stanford and he indeed has more knowledge and experience than any of us sitting here labelling someone's political affiliations. We may not agree to the same point and that's pretty genuine but altercation over silly topics is pointless too.
