unimportant. While the names mentioned above represent a tiny substratum of highly successful entrepreneurs, the large majority of successful entrepreneurs in the world right now boast stellar academic qualifications. It’s just that grooming should commence from the schooldays.
There is no doubt that India needs to drastically transform its entrepreneurial landscape to stay true to its futuristic ambitions, and we need to start from our schools. Lately, India has been making great strides in the department. India is currently home to 108 unicorns with a total valuation of close to $350 billion. But for a country that just overtook China to become the most populated country in the world and aims to become a $5 trillion economy in the near future, we can’t take pressure off the gas. There is a dire need to produce global citizens, entrepreneurs with broader visions, and candidates with skills beyond expectations. Let’s look at some simple statistics. Around fifteen lakh engineering students graduate in India from engineering colleges across the country. Only 2.5 lakh of them get relevant jobs in technical domains. Even in that substratum, a major wedge of them is underpaid. It’s a nobrainer that we need to transform our curriculums to match this massive requirement.
