Ascenda’s Technopark Food Court !!!
I was there to Ascenda’s Food Court today evening. The infrastructure is amazing with leading vendors like McDonalds, KFC, Subway, etc., The prices too were amazingly high. My mind went into a comparison between the price of US and India. A veg delight in US cost around US $1.5. The same cost around Rs 50/- here @ the subway @ Ascendas. The price as such compared was Rs 10/- to 15/- higher in US when compared in Indian money.
But the real comparison should be the Cost to Salary ratio. A normal salary in US in a software industry [any industry ] will be around $5000. But a normal guy in a Software industry earns around 20 to 30,000/- which calculates to less than $800. India is much costlier when compared to US on the food industry as the salary itself is 5 times less than US. On the same note the normal wage paid in any industry won’t have much difference when compared to India. In India, a normal person starting his career in a mechanical industry will get some where around 5 to 8K in Indian money.
