Naukri.com founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani's message to Pakistan's Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir: 'Forget this obsession with…'

Tamil Nadu’s economy is nearing Pakistan’s GDP, which was recently bailed out by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Tamil Nadu’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) reached $329 billion in 2023-24. The state is now close to overtaking Pakistan’s GDP, which stands at around $373.08 billion, as per IMF data. Naukri.com founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani shared a post on X, highlighting the milestone. “TN GDP is now greater than the GDP of Pakistan,” Bikhchandani wrote in the post, adding “And the population of Pakistan is more than thrice that of Tamil Nadu. In other words, the average resident of TN is more than 3X better off than the average resident of Pakistan.”

In the post, he also urged the Pakistan government to shift its focus from militant ideology and conflict to economic development, infrastructure, and education. “To the govt and military of Pakistan - focus on education, infrastructure and economic development,” he wrote.

“Forget this obsession with militant Islam, Kashmir and being anti India. And stop supporting terror groups. The people of Pakistan will be better off,” Bikhchandani wrote.
