Startup opportunity in Indian Education Sector....

True words from Einstein, "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education".

This benign fact about education is still prevalent in Indian context. Adding on to this feature of Indian education sector, there is also the lack of individuality among Indian students regarding selection of field for their prospective careers.
It is not that there is lack of understanding among all the parents; rather it's their ignorance to all the other opportunities or their in-sensitiveness to other career prospects. Those who are enlightened, or exposed to various career prospects always have the advantage.
I am discussing this opportunity from the childhood of an individual. Nowadays, almost 80% of Indian parents want their children to be into IIT or NIT or so called engineer. This is happening because of exaggerated publicity from media houses over the few 8 figure salaries that poured into these campuses. No one is caring about the interest of students, in-fact they are not supposed to develop any interests.
And the irony here is that, when these students meet failures in life, the sole culprit are them only.
For example; even though some middle class budding mind clears IIT or any other tier I college; everyone in the family is seeing 7 figure salary in them rather than the individuality of the concerned student. And even after entering into such institutes, the degree of not meeting up with expectations is much higher because of multiple factors like networking, interpersonal skills come into picture. And these students have no one from their family to guide them of these aspects.
The opportunity here in this context is the "Urgent need of Career Counselling and Innovative methods of teaching" in Indian context. This will not only make the parents realize about importance of interests but also the guidelines to these half successful candidates. 

Why you need a break....

It's 8'o clock in the morning, and with annoying alarm an average working class unmarried youth wake up in a hurry. In order to be on time, he hurriedly get ready in half an hour and rushed to office. Somehow he managed to pre-scheduled morning meeting to discuss on targets  etc. After working his ass off for like 12 to 14 hours, he used to retiring back with no energy nor any aspiration for any other recreational or creative activities. This is the usual story of 90% of best talents of India passing out of IITs or IIMs or IISc etc. There isn't any time for them to even think about self or society or mankind. The best minds of this nation is getting ravaged in the glittering MNCs culture and glamour of money and positions and family and peer pressure too. It's because of these practices and cultures, there are very few writers or thinkers or innovators in Modern India.
Amid st all such, what I personally feel is the need to take a break at periodic intervals of career. These breaks will not only provide time to self realization but also the vision towards long term career prospects. When you have a complete day with no predefined tasks or appointments, and you have all the time to fulfill all your hobbies, your desires and realize your potentials. The true self of yours can only be realized when you are self-introspecting, when you are living the life in the way you want to.
These small breaks not only act as the true mentor of yours life but also help in framing a healthy society. Because when people are doing something of their interest, the results are always outstanding. On the lighter side, this further improves the productivity of society or business.
Well, I don't have much examples related to success of this thought; but going by the facts of self-introspection and sayings of some of the best minds of 20th and 21st century like Steve Jobs or Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela or Mother Teresa or several other entrepreneurs, this thought does have a weight-age.
Also, going by Indian context where 80% of students don't know by the age of 25 about their dream. And where childhood dreams are made upon the foundation of family's aspirations or glamorous thoughts of some seniors. In between all such environment, having a break and spending it on self is worth being happy for life.

Why it's best time to take risk and go for startups?

This blog has been written taking account of Indian and world youth below the age of 30.

We are taught from our childhood, to score marks, get good grades; and eventually we will land up with decent to lavish lifestyle. We would have then plenty of money to fulfill all our needs and desires; unfortunately, which were not been available in our childhood. And we would have a beautiful wife and a plush home, eight figure salary or powerful government bureaucrat; of which we would boast upon. Till school (leaving some exceptions) we are taught to imitate rather than explore, expedite or try newer things.

Moving further we come to college, away from the chains of family restrictions on physical stimulus as well as neurological stimulus. In college, our thinking horizon broadens, we are more rebellious, we are more innovative and we are more risk takers. But coming to final year of college, and again under the pressure of family, friends and socially established criteria; a student's intelligence is judged from his/her job or salary package. Every student seems running towards that dream of monthly eight figure salary and decent ego boosting job. And once a childhood innovator is lost in the social stigmas and showoff.

At this stage, most of Indians and youths of other nations are. They are in their mid or late twenties with almost no to very little responsibilities and yet they are suffering from one of the deadliest addiction of A MONTHLY SALARY drug. We work for 12 hours a day and at the month end, waiting for the hefty cheque or salary to take home and enjoy. In fact, we used to fall in love with these kind of lifestyle where we are away from any roller-coasters of life and a risk free income.

But this is something, against which everyone need to realize. This is the perfect time for us to take risk and steepen our learning curve to exponential. Entrepreneurship is something, every adult in his twenties should aspire about. It doesn't assure you a showoff and assured income but on basis of probability it makes you a millionaire and a truckload of experience and exposure. It might be that you have to pay some loan/EMI or liability but these can never be the discouraging factor for going on with start ups as these liabilities can easily be met.
But as per Steve Jobs, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great word. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you will know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."

In India, the main problem is job-employee mismatch; where people are working for survival and proving others that they are more talented judging on lines of money and materialism. Amid st such environment, it's the best time for adults in 20's to break these chains of social stigmas, take risks, live free, learn from failures and improve the lifestyle of a common man through innovation.
