| | DECEMBER 20224From the Mellons to the Gates and Bezoses to Musks, the US has been home to many entrepreneurs admired worldwide--the elite class. Even today, the US has been recognized as the world's most entrepreneurial country, according to the CEOWORLD magazine Entrepreneurship Index, 2021, while Germany and the United Kingdom placed second and third, respectively.Something that the greatest entrepreneurs in history have proven time and again is that a college degree is never the most important aspect of becoming a successful entrepreneur. Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg have been the poster boys of this. But most students don't get over the societal pressure to leave their education aside and venture out with their business idea. However, don't get the idea that education is 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.There is no doubt that India needs to drastically transform its entrepreneurial landscape to stay true to its futuristic ambitions. Lately, India has been making great strides in the department. India is currently home to 107 unicorns with a total valuation of $ 340.79 billion. But more than that will be needed for a country with such a massive population. 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 no-brainer that we need to transform our curriculums to match this massive requirement.Sujith VasudevanManaging Editoreditor@ceoinsightsindia.comWind in Favor of Entrepreneurs Editorial Vol 04 · Issue 5 - 1 ·DECEMBER, 2022 Publisher Alok Chaturvedi Managing Editor Sujith Vasudevan Manager - DesignPrabhu Dutta A.R.N RayAssistant EditorHeena Kousar NoidaRohit Raghubanshi Garima Anandadvertise@ceoinsightsindia.comEditorial queries editor@ceoinsightsindia.comTo subscribeVisit www.ceoinsightsindia.com/subscribe/ or send emailto subscription@ceoinsightsindia.comMagazine Price is Rs. 150 per issueEditor Alok ChaturvediPrinted and Published By Alok Chaturvedi on behalf of Info Connect Web Technolo-gies India Pvt.
