Q26. Purpose Poverty to Purpose Abundance; Purpose Poverty became a workplace buzzword when people realised many jobs looked successful on paper but felt empty inside. Around 2016–2023, employees across sectors started saying, “Salary theek hai… par dil nahi lagta.” Slowly, a new aspiration emerged — Purpose Abundance — the feeling that work should matter, even a little. Today this shift is everywhere: in job interviews, campus talks, startup pitches, even chai-stall conversations about why work feels meaningful or meaningless.
Survey Question: So when someone says they want “purpose” in their work, what does it personally mean to you?
