This edited volume serves not merely as a record of academic inquiry but also as a valuable resource and roadmap for future research and policy development. It offers evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, provides insights for regulators and financial institutions and opens up new questions for academia. The challenge of creating a robust, equitable and inclusive pension system in India is monumental, demanding collective and sustained effort across sectors and borders. By redefining pensions as instruments of dignity, equity and national development, India can move towards the objective of a fully pensioned society and Viksit Bharat by 2047.
