India, July 9 -- A viral Instagram reel by Australian content creator Jeremy Franco (@jeremy.franco) has sparked debate online for his take on India's visible contrasts between wealth and poverty.

In the video, he says, "One thing about India is it can go from rich to poor in two seconds." He explains that while he was inside a luxury store with brands like Gucci and Dior, just a few steps outside felt like a scene from Slumdog Millionaire.
