Good to see housing crisis on the agenda! Young Indians face similar challenges in metro cities. Maybe our government can learn from EU's approach to affordable housing. 🏠

Reducing bureaucracy is much needed! Our Indian startups face similar regulatory hurdles. Hope they find solutions that can inspire reforms here too. 👍
