I disagree.
So I am Indian and I can say that although many people are poor,
The small amount of Indians you are looking to target may still be in a few millions (0.1% of india's population is 15 friggin million people)
Those are the self actualized guys you are looking to target, who know what they want and are willing to spend on it.
Screw those who think Indians can't afford it,
They simple don't know any such people in their circles.
All my indian friends spend ATLEAST 1000$ per year on personal development, let alone sales, health, etc.
What is needed here is an understanding that the wealth gap in India is crazy. Most Indians on this thread themselves don't know how rich people can get because they haven't experienced it themselves. Which is why they are shitting on a high ticket product.
TLDR. there are about 15 million indians that are pretty self actualized and rich. Target them, earn and eventually middle class will follow.
