In India, the figure of millionaires reached 400 million-born after 1982 co-work with the first digital age band of India; GenZers who born between 1995-2012. Both are very different from each other’s skill set needs. But the similarity of both cohorts like high confident learning of new skills, positive buttressing attitude, and high economics.
