- 2. India has the largest youth [10-24] population: 356 million. 11 million students pass out of college every year, but where are the jobs? Our educational system is broken.
- 3. Even graduate engineers are failing to find jobs. They are being forced to take up menial jobs like petrol pump attendant or car service agent or autorickshaw driving.
- 4. All kinds of fly-by-night operators have sprung up, promising jobs but exploiting our youth. The real fact is: there are not enough jobs for everyone.
- 5. What will our youth do? If they fail to find employment, they might turn to crime and anti-social activity. Or… they could become SELF-EMPLOYED i.e. ENTREPRENEURS!
- 6. The good news is that thanks to our huge population, there are business opportunities everywhere. This is the ‘Base of the Pyramid’ model.
- 7. This is not a new idea – we already have great ‘entrepreneurs’ in every walk of our lives, who provide us with service and make a living from it. Why can’t we improve on this?
- 8. Mobile apps are becoming a major economic engine. This is a historic opportunity for entrepreneurs to get into business with very little investment or infrastructure.
- 9. The government is also pushing skilling and startups in the digital tech domain.
- 10. The real ‘skill gap’ is in our minds—our education makes us expect only jobs, and blinds us to entrepreneurship as a career option.
