How It Works in the Novel

In Vetan Bhagat: The Future of Work, protagonist Aarushi Sharma revolutionizes TechNova's compensation system by implementing the Income Dial—a radical approach that gives employees complete autonomy over their work intensity and earnings.

Unlike traditional employment where compensation is fixed regardless of effort, the Income Dial allows workers to adjust their mode in real-time based on life circumstances:

  • Sprint to save for a house? Switch to High Gear.
  • Need time for a sick parent? Drop to Stability Mode with guaranteed income.
  • Want sustainable balance? Cruise Control maintains steady earnings.

The result? Higher engagement, lower burnout, and a more human workplace where life doesn't have to wait for annual reviews or promotions.
