Impact Framework
Methodology for evaluating key individuals' influence on India's economic trajectory
Overview
This framework provides a structured approach to evaluating and ranking individuals based on their potential impact on India's economic development before its demographic transition. The analysis considers multiple factors weighted according to their relative importance in determining an individual's influence on this critical national objective.
Impact Framework Factors

| Proximity to Binding Constraints | 25% | How directly the individual can affect key constraints holding back India's economic growth (e.g., labor markets, education, infrastructure). |
| Scale of Impact | 20% | The potential magnitude of the individual's decisions or actions on India's economic trajectory. |
| Implementation Power | 15% | The individual's demonstrated ability to execute changes and overcome institutional barriers. |
| Recent Activity | 10% | Evidence of relevant actions or influence within the past 3-5 years. |
