About
This site was built to test a phrase. "Demographic dividend" is used so often about India that it has stopped being a claim and become a description. The Global Flourishing Study gave a reason to check it against how young Indians actually report their lives.
The method is deliberately narrow: take a small number of well-sourced figures, attach every one of them to a primary source and a permanent archive capture, flag every definitional trap, and let the reader move between the narrative and the raw rows at will.
Who made this
Sanket Tambare — a developer and data engineer in Pune, working on ETL and delivery-metrics pipelines by trade, and a NAST Fellow at The Takshashila Institution, researching citizen agency in AI governance.
The fellowship is named here rather than left out: it is a public-policy affiliation on a site about public policy, and you should be able to weigh it. Beyond it, this project has no institutional backing. It was not commissioned, funded or reviewed by any employer, think tank, department, industry body or company named in these pages, and nobody was shown a draft. Every figure’s authority, publication date and archive state is published in the citation ledger, with checksums for the data files, so the working can be checked rather than taken on trust.
