- Ankit Srivastava is a Digital Growth Strategist, an Author and an Educational Activist that strongly identifies the flaws in the Asian education system which tends to reward test scores as compared to pragmatic aptitude. He believes in the concept of open learning mechanisms that facilitates the probationers to acquire skills/knowledge based on their predilections.
He promotes and campaigns for unconventional career choices. Ankit is also a Gen Z, Gen Y campaigner and has been deeply involved in understanding the challenges they face and their psychology towards making decisions.
Ankit Srivastava asked the crowd a simple question which was followed by a stunned silence. He raised certain questions which, on their faces, had plain, one line answers but through introspection, it was found that it required deep thought. 'Why?' was not the question. 'Why not?' was. Mr. Srivastava pointed out how a question with a negative ended up surging a spark if positivity and brilliance among people along with conservation of time and energy. The determination to choose the road less travelled stood out and shone in plain sight. Ankit Srivastava founded 'The Urban Llama’ in 2016 with the vision to make unconventional wisdom conventional, an organisation which was later absorbed by Knowledge Woods Consulting, a training company where he works with the industry leaders to build a flexible learning platform. Being an educational activist, Mr. Srivastava has recognised the flaws in the educational system often giving an exceedingly large weightage to test scores rather than pragmatic attitude.
He is also an authour presently working on two books, a social media influencer, an event manager and a public speaker. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Biggest problem of my life is that my dad fulfilled his dream of becoming an extc engineer through me. Now he's sleeping peacefully.
What r u doing now bhai?
@captain obvious most of engineers are doing same bhai....
@@harshitchaudhary6166 he is just watching videos to get satisfaction that he is not only one!!!!
@@shivammadeafilm i am watching the same videos so i can reply my dad when he posts his careless ideas on mine.
What do u mean by sleeping pleace fully.
It's never late start now!
The moment I entered engineering, I knew I won't pursue it beyond my graduation. So, after graduation, I am totally lost. I feel like I am doing what everybody does.. choose maths, do engineering and go for civil service. Now after watching your video, I think I'll re-plan my life.
Exact same thing with myself bruh😥. So confused and directionless. And the only thing I know is that I dont wanna end up in the race again.
It is the same thing with 93% of the engineering graduates bro
I was depressed when i graduaded and saw the job offerings. I couldn't believe that was the reality of the job. Can't believe they tell everyone who can do math to go into engineering.
Ejjactly the same in my case, like he said - didn't get the college and branch of my choice but did it, it's been 3 years since I graduated
He is My Cousin 😊😊😊
Priti Srivastava Tell him- he is an amazing public speaker and motivater! Loved his talk!
Priti Srivastava Good...Finally found someone who has similar opinions as me...I am really working hard on my dream...I know...I will have to stand out to achieve it...BTW...I am CS undergrad in 4th year, so I was able to link it with your cousin.
I WILL BE AN INTERNET ENTREPRENEUR
How old is he?? How talks so sensible.
First, I thought you are kidding
But after seeing your surname and his surname"SRIVASTAVA" I found you are really because A SISTER WILL ALWAYS APPRECIATE HIS BROTER WETHER HE IS HER REAL OR COUSIN.
Rip
Any engineers , show me the dissapointment ☝🏿☝🏿
Disappointed - yes. How about finishing in the top quarter of my class at a top South African university / having lecturers throughout the engineering degree say how well I will do in industry because of my skills/ attitude and insight.
Then seeing everybody in the class get multiple job offers (even the students who I helped and tutored to pass).
It took me 2 years and +800 applications to get my first interview. People who know me are baffled that I have so many skills and yet cannot get a proper job.
20 years later the latest job offer is as a cleaner in a hospital.
@@jhn8128 I feel like you're doing something wrong...
@@jhn8128 if you were in the top quarter of the best university in SA, you surely should've been able to get a bursary or internship through a company? With such high recommendations as well?
@Neal DoubleAA uhhh... you're blaming the employers because... they don't want to talk to you? Like what exactly are they doing wrong? Their positions get filled, they successfully hire people. So at the end of the day they accomplish their goal. If they don't successfully hire people, then i get it... but that's not the case
Each and every word said was amazing. We youngsters are really stuck upon playing safe in life and one such reason is the society and the sunk cost you mentioned about. There are things I want to do but then delaying it because at first I want to be safe and then I will have to gather all the courage to do things I always wanted to. Thank you for this one, this definitely inspired me at various points.
It makes me happy that the message of this talk resonated with you!
@nikita How are you now ?
2 years have passed
It's a damm beautiful feeling when you love engineering
I thinks this guy also was an engineer😄
and i am here all the way from africa studying bsc in a bogus college
😂😂
Bro you had to ask before coming 😂😂😂,
Haha 😂
ever heard of south africa? we have some of the worlds best universities.
@@pule977 represent 🙌🏼
best speech i have ever heard..so relatable and motivting..
You expressed everything so nicely. It's was so good how you indirectly pointed the topics we should stressed on for a more dignified living. 🌼
That was a very motivating talk! It is an eye opener, not just for the ones who are stuck up with their careers but also the ones who are going to start a career.
Great stuff Ankit 👏 I am sure this will inspire people who are stuck in this scenario to analyze their situation and do something towards what they really want from their career.
Mrinalinee Vatsa Thank you! That is the only thing I want for any person who watches it, to introspect and then leap forward incase they are unhappy with their present situation!
More students entering engineering is not a problem. The real problem is engineering colleges failing to teach engineering properly. But most of the time students end up blaming themselves for choosing engineering while those colleges continue to function as it is.
Who does mba with 35 lakhs rupee and still wondering about job / passion........
Those who join ISB
It's engineering+MBA
Those who were not smart earlier but now are trying to improve.
This is hilarious because it's so true, I've loved this talk.
Honest, Bitter truth, i am an Engineer who won't go for an MBA. I have realized that i am a moron who is passionate about boxing and ended up doing engineering. :/
Who else feels the same?
Box and knock the door of mile Tyson's home. Your career door in boxing will open up.
Very well said. Really inspiring. Each and every point made sense to me. I hope you keep inspiring everyone with your work. Good luck!
Vishakha M. Dey Thank you !!
Great job Ankit! Things are told with honesty and I'm sure this simplified logic will help people chose their career options wisely.
Career options in india ha ha .
So , I came across this guy from his Instagram page and here I am
Ankit , you are a true gem !!
Underated speech
Life teaches in its own way. . U can't change that
Isn't this video has any teachings for your life ??
But what we do ?
We see this videos and we tell to this teachings that my life has my own teaching ( Problem is people are waiting for God to made their life full of teaching wow -) hurrah !!
In fact god is great , he is already giving teachings by making us watch this videos ,
But nah we mostly closed our eyes when teaching come to us , and than keep saying life teaches in it's own way !! Bro if you believe it than why you watch this videos , you don't need it if you believe it for sure !!
Jack ma and bill gate etc.. didn't had this videos in their time , but they read lot of books and they learn from it , in fact they teach their own-selves and took initiatives , they didn't waited for life to make teaching for them .
And those successful people are still reading bunch of books , they're teaching themselves too , after becoming so successful also they're not making such thoughts like my life will teach me in it's own way !! 🙌🙌
By the way it's individuals thinking for their own life , but atleast this is all what i believe ( sorry if it hurts ! )
I don't know bruh but successful people are not waiting( and didn't waited in their past ) for their life to teach themselves otherwise why they should read a book also,at the end it's other persons thought and teachings what's written in the book !
Give a thought to it !!
@@soham2732 Totally agree
if you Value your time and Money... you do it right. one thing india lack is dynamism in Govt and universities, they both work in isolation.. the HRD minister has to closely watch on the job market and bring in and bring out unwanted courses in universities...
NIce one
Dont worry you can be like this guy motivator.
Really hatsupp video..worthy watching it happens
Thanks man. Very inspiring speech 😊👍
Now I know why I am not getting a job as a mechanical engineer 🔥🔥 because I am not interested in it. That choice of mine pursuing mechanical engineering was based on different perspective. But now I haven't figured out what is next😂
I want to leave my house and head to Delhi to pursue photography, but what if I fail? What if the RoI is never sufficient and I end up regretting my decision in my 30s/40s?
This talk summed up my engineering confusion, fomo, frustration.
It really boils down on an individual's state of mentality. Believe that you can do it and actually do it = State B
" I can do everything in christ, he who strengthens me". Philipians 4:13 put it in gods hands
Amen
Well said sir
"Stop thinking about what you have done before".
I agreed really Indian Tech market is so bad.
Its 2021 and indian education system is not fixed yet. Atleast they should charge no fee because they don't teach anything useful and unique. Most of the things are available on the Internet for free or at a really cheap price.
Superb video
Thank you ❤️
Good talk!
Motivating video..
Kindly do a video on govt job vs private job
Thanks For the Motivation It Really Made My day
I think we Indians are only facing this problem that's why we aren't successful only some are, compared to other country population we are very huge but successful people are very less
I don't think this is happening in other countries.
the students who completed their school life have their own rights to choose what they really want that's what I heard all about abroad..
And there are some examples like
Justin beiber ,Ed sheerean, steeve jobs etc...
these people haven't completed their college degrees but they are successful..
even I'm an engineering graduate my desire is to work in Tamil film industry but currently preparing for the IT industry...
@Manisha I did mechanical engineering but I'm not interested in that field so i chose IT and I prepared for IT.
Last week only i got a job as a sales force developer in an IT company.
Anyways now i got that confidence that i could pursue my dreams in future..
And i hope that this job will help me financially to support my future dream..
Let's see hoping for the best in the
upcoming years.
Very Nice लेक्चर🥺🙂!
He has mentioned the truth...
Thanxxx man
The first mistake he mentioned about engineering is all it, that what made you choose Engineering, and that's how we fail
You showed another angle for thinking what can be done in future rather than thinking what has happened till date Yaa it will be very difficult for us to think so coz everyone today wants to play safe But still grass is greener this side too
nidhi soni I completely agree with what you've inferred from the talk!
I was watching the interview of Lt Col Pankaj Kumar, a recipient of Kirti Chakra. He stated that right from his childhood, he wanted to join the infantry in Army, But Military Secretary branch said to him that he had a tech background, so they put him in EME. For the first two years, he was doing his tenure with Gorkha regiment. When his tenure was about to be finished, he undertook a counter insurgency op and everyone under his command, told him that he was a gorkha due to his bravery. At that very point, he decided that he will be in Infantry only. He struggled for many years and then Army permanently shifted him to Infantry.
right
Engineering is worst carrier here .
Even learning what human made is no mean .
Being a doctor is greatest thing in the world , at least you know what you are doing.
Studying God creation is endless and Intersting .
this thing actually makes some sense.
This is actually good!
And we live this 😅
I took up engineering bcz of my family pressure. My father forced me to do engineering by seeing the neighbour guys doing. I had chemical engineering. Our college didn't gave any placement in core sector . So I had to try from outside. All companies are looking for either reference, experience or Mtech. As I was fresher I had none of these. I was selected in the technical interview but in HR interview they are asking for references which I don't have. There after I applied for PSUs. There also they are saying that why are you not doing Mtech. I said about my financial prblm but they are not listening to it. So in PSUs even after qualifying I was not selected in the final interview. Engineering had made my life miserable and lead me to much depression. That time I thought that Engineering is not for me. Then I tried for general stream job and got selected in it. But that past engineering life strikes my mind everyday and make me fall into depression
Wrong choices are a part of life. Engineering didn't make your life miserable. You could have took a firm decision of not pursuing engineering. Mass hysteria is what happened with you father.
Cheer up 👍🏻
i think history is repeating i m also same path.
@@salwynmathew8545 another problem is that there is no industry in westbengal. It is the main problem for not getting jobs here
I am an engineer, and I just made a video called "The 3 Laws of Engineering Jobs" on my channel.
He is delligent person
He is my best friend
Is this guy from Galgotias?
Shreyash Singh / Yes!
Best thing is dont get educated
..then life will be mentally at ease
I'm really looking for job in uk
Great talk 😂 something everyone knows but noone is speaking about

Outside i m happy but inside i m dying because i dont get job
It is easier said than doing,yes its difficult..thank u for clearing that up
2.25 yahi template tha
I am a student from class 12th, preparing for jee , is their any alternative in place of doing engineering 🤔🤔
True , but things are changing now
Aashish Yes they actually are, I am an example of the same! This is what the message of the talk is, Things are changing, you no longer have to stick to a degree or be held by the mistakes of the past. Just start afresh with a will to walk towards your true goals and eventually you'll get there. Thanks for the comment and the feedback!
ankit srivastav Thank you sir .

Not clear it's boaring speech

Worst tedx talk
Proven once again - Indian accent is the worst accent imaginable.
Sach kya
If you have brain you would understand that every country has different English accent. Not everybody has us uk accent.
Learn Hindi and let all judge your Hindi accent.
Hello sir,
But the Indian English Accent is one of the easiest accents to understand in the world.
When one has nothing better to do than imagining people's accents all day
i have done mba but not spent 35 lkh may be 12-15 lkh in mumbai never wanted to do a job wanted to be selfemployed n film director currently working as freelancer n n chasing the dream in film direction n i am sure i will succeed what u said is 100 % true
If you do it with engineering it easily reaches somewhere between 20-25lkh
Where are you now?
The two months period between 12th results and Engineering admission. Complete chaos.
Yes..
This is truly motivating , especially the end of the talk where he says, "do u know what else is constant? The lifeline of a dead man..".that really struck hard ! It also really reflects about life , of it's ups and downs and how we must live life as it is , doing what we want and love to do !
Prerana Bhavan Thank you, the only point of taking such an extreme example such as that of death is to emphasize on the universal truth of mortality. We often forget that there is limited time after all!
An eye opener for me, I am at the end of student life and worry a lot about ROI of any course I think to take.
8:18 best line🤣🤣💯
I'm MBBS qualified but unemployed in uk 2024
Very good talk..
But how do I understand what to do for a living when I'm interested in many things. And I often do these many things and end up average in life.
That's a lot how I feel- I'm interested in engineering and marine biology and genetics and architecture and design and entrepreneurship and creative writing but I don't want to get rid of any of those passions to pursue just one and come out good at it
Joe Pius the only way is to experiment and try out different things. There’s a thin line between passion and interests. Interest will fade away eventually or might bore you. Passion will just increase your hunger of getting better at that field. Period
Really inspiring sir
Very logical and relevant things which people realize but don't understand .
R u from odisha??
Great insught into "Mass Hysteria" .
Video being too direct is really very inspiring and motivating
Motivation on point. This is great! Keep it up :)
Aditi Sharma Thank you so much !

one should do whatever one likes to do. Even if it doesn't match with the subject that one has graduated for.
Frns brother😊
Really Inspiring! A must watch for everyone🙏
Jiya Jaiswal Thank you for saying that !
Really great stuff !! Even I have similar kinda of views on this topic 😊

😍😘😘😘
Not interesting talk, quite shallow.
Great presentation. Even my name is Ankit Shrivastav
Sick of Same old fancy talking personality people.
Hi
👍
Never put your hand in the pocket. That is also one of the reasons that engineers are jobless.
Why the safe is inmportant? Let's look at Japan, my countly. The population is decreasing, growth rate stopped and half of the people is above 50 age. What's mean is this? It's mean the young people already can't save their own parents, because so much money is needed for Medical care and their life. You probably think this is weird, however, It's getting the standard in japan now. Not the past, It's a future. How can you try something challenges? Scrapping the safety is the only way at the growth ela, Do not try It at the end of the life.
