Why 2 Million Indians Are Leaving Home?

In this video, I break down why more than 2 million Indians have quietly left the country and why surrendering an Indian passport is often just the final step in a decision made years earlier.

This isn’t about chasing money or hating India. It’s about quality of life, work culture, bureaucracy, mobility, and a system that increasingly feels exhausting for those trying to build something here. From entrepreneurs and professionals to wealthy individuals and middle-class families, many Indians are choosing to build their futures outside the country.

We look at:
Why Indians are giving up Indian citizenship
The reality of India’s no dual citizenship law and the OCI compromise
The pressure on Indian entrepreneurs and professionals
The role of taxes, bureaucracy, and work culture
Why countries like Canada have become preferred destinations
How brain drain and capital flight affect India’s future

This video explores the mindset behind leaving not as an act of rebellion, but as a pragmatic choice made after years of trying to make things work. If you’re living abroad, planning to leave, or wondering why so many people already have, this conversation is for you.
